Questions & Answers

Will this work for both of my irritrol control boxes, or do I need two of them?

One RFS1000 is all I have. Two Orbit Controllers are linked to the RX. It's quite effective.

What is the duration of the sensor's battery?

The batteries are replaceable; two CR2032 3V cells are used, and it has a 5-year warranty, to answer your question. year life expectancy (average)

What are the differences between this and the RS1000 product? What temperature parameters does it use?

The RS1000 simply detects how much rain has fallen. You can change how much rain it gets before sending a "shutdown" message to the control box. When the outside temperature drops below freezing, the RSF1000(freeze) will also turn off the control box. The temperature setting, I believe, is not programmable.

Selected User Reviews For Irritrol RFS1000 Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor

Simple to set up
5/5

Installing this into my irrigation controller was a breeze. The monitor is mounted on a block wall about five feet away from the controller, and the wireless sensor is mounted on the same block wall. br>br>I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and I have a desert landscape with plants in my backyard. This was purchased so that the drip irrigation system would not activate during the rainy season. So far, the only way I've been able to test it is to pour water on it and then check the irrigation controller to see if the censor is turned on. So I'm confident it'll work if it rains. br>br>This gets five stars and two thumbs up from me. br>br>I will update my review if anything changes in the future.

Happy, happy, happy
5/5

I was able to easily install two Irritrol wireless sensors on Orbit controllers. The rain sensor works well, but the freeze sensor has yet to be tested. I've used Irritrol sensors in the past and know they'll work in cold weather as well. At a reasonable price, this is a good buy.

The unit's synchronization with the old transmitter and receiver was simple, and it performs as expected
5/5

I only needed the transmitter to replace a broken one, but I had to buy the transmitter and the receiver separately. The unit's synchronization with the old transmitter and receiver was simple, and it performs as expected.

Meets or exceeds expectations
5/5

It was very simple to install, came with clear instructions, and worked right away for a fraction of the price sprinkler professionals wanted.

Great! This product is a replacement for an older edition that stopped working after seven years! It was a perfect match for my irrigation system - It was a breeze to put everything together! I would recommend it to anyone

I was sent the incorrect item
4/5

I was sent the incorrect item. It was promptly returned in accordance with the instructions. For a while, all I got were automated responses asking if I was enjoying myself. This was not something I was looking forward to. Today, I got the right item. I'm sure it'll work out fine.
