Heated rain detection plate for 12V rain sensors with support

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.

Supplied with support for wall or pipe installation using clamps.

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.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Power supply: 9-15V AC or DC

• Absorption: 40mA at 9V - 60mA at 12V - 80mA at 15V

• Heater power: 0.3W at 9V - 0.6W at 12V - 1W at 15V

• The heater power can be modulated with external PWM generators

• Waterproof heater technology waterproof pure electrical resistance 250Ohm 1W MAX

• Always powered on

• Plated copper comb rain detection plate

• Detection plate contacts independent from heater for maximum flexibility and compatibility with each sensor

• Heater function can be excluded leaving contacts disconnected

• 30 ° inclined plate support with 150mm extender and wall attachments via 3mm diameter holes or tubular attachment via cable ties with a maximum width of 4mm

• Sensor holder in high quality printed PLA

• Dimensions: plate 60x33x15 mm, overall 200x100x33 mm
