Heated rain detection plate for 12V rain sensors

Rain detection plate compatible with all rain sensors that use electrical conductivity detection technology through plate with comb or wavy contacts.

Thanks to the heated rear part, it is immune to humidity and atmospheric events other than rain alone, guaranteeing maximum performance at temperatures above 5 ° C and no false detection even in areas with high humidity.

The internal 0.6W heater needs an additional 12V DC or AC power supply at least 60mA, see specifications for other allowable voltages.

For sensors completely to be realized it requires a control unit such as our Rain and flood sensor

CONNECTION:

RED and BLACK wire: resistive heater power connection, the wires have no polarity and can be freely connected to a power supply or battery. If you do not intend to use the heater they can be left unplugged.

BLUE wires: rain detection plate connection, must be connected directly to the dedicated terminals of your rain sensor.
