Lunatico Hydreon RG-9 Rain Sensor for use with Hydreon Version of Cloudwatcher
The Hydreon RG-9 Solid State Rain Sensor is a rainfall sensing device intended to detect and communicate when a pre-selected rain intensity has been reached or exceeded. The RG-9 is rugged, reliable, and maintenance-free.
The RG-9 uses beams of infrared light within a plastic lens about the size of a tennis ball. The lens's round surface discourages debris accumulation, and the RG-9 has no moving parts to stick or water pathways to clog. The device features an open-collector output that indicates when the selected rain intensity has been reached.
The sensitivity levels are:
- Rain Drops
- Very Light
- Medium
- Heavy
The duration of the positive detection is also selectable:
- No Hold,
- Hold Time 5 Minutes,
- Hold Time 10 Minutes,
- Hold Time 15 Minutes.
The power consumption of the RG-9 is very low, and the device is well-suited to solar-power applications.
