Product Overview
Weathermatic RFS5 wireless rain and freeze sensor
The RFS5 pauses the controller when it rains and when it gets cold, so zones do not run in the wrong weather. It talks to the controller over 900 MHz two-way wireless, so no sensor wire back to the panel. Set the rain threshold, mount it in the open, and forget it.

Where to mount it
Mount it in the open where rain hits it, clear of eaves and tree cover. The articulating arm lets you level the rain cup on a wall or fascia. The freeze trip is fixed at 37°F and is not user-adjustable, so the sensor holds zones before ice forms.
Pairs with the Weathermatic SL1600 SmartLine and PL1600 ProLine controllers.
