The patented 418 MHz transmitter mounts on a gutter, fascia, or 1\/2 in. conduit; the receiver wires into any 24 VAC controller’s sensor terminal — or breaks the valve common on controllers that don’t have one. No trenching, no wire run from the sensor to the cabinet, no neighbor wondering why your zones are running in the middle of a downpour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Irrigation Pros Pick the RS1000\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented wireless RF — transmitter and receiver stay in constant communication, so the controller knows the “wet” or “dry” status even after a power outage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 300 ft line-of-sight range — mount the sensor where rainfall actually lands, not where the wire reaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable shutoff threshold — 1\/8 in., 1\/4 in., 1\/2 in., 3\/4 in., or 1 in. of accumulated rainfall, set with a twist of the cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable dry-out rate — close the vent ring to keep zones off longer after the rain stops; open it for the fastest reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Bypass — push the button once to skip the next cycle without reprogramming; resets automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal strength + sensor status LEDs — verify the install at a glance, every time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year battery life — two CR2032 cells, pre-installed, with a low-battery blink alert on the receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower-failure memory — the receiver remembers its state when the controller cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts three ways out of the box — Quick-Clip gutter bracket, fascia screws, or 1\/2 in. conduit adapter (all included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Shines\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential and light-commercial irrigation where pulling sensor wire to the controller cabinet isn’t practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocal water-conservation ordinances that require a rain shutoff device on every irrigation system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMunicipal rebate programs that credit homeowners for installing smart controllers and rain sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService calls where the existing wired sensor failed and a wireless retrofit is the fastest fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHOA-managed properties where every controller in the loop needs a sensor on the same roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel number: RS1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor type: industry-standard hygroscopic disc stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain sensitivity: adjustable — 1\/8 in., 1\/4 in., 1\/2 in., 3\/4 in., or 1 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission range: over 300 ft (91 m) line-of-sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadio frequency: 418 MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmitter battery: (2) CR2032 3 V cells, 5-year typical life (pre-installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceiver power: 22–28 V ac\/V dc, 100 mA (Class 2 UL-approved transformer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: normally open or normally closed — 3 A @ 24 V ac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: -20°F to 120°F (-29°C to 49°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing: UV-resistant engineered polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertifications: UL Listed, FCC Part 15 Class B, IC, CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmitter dimensions: H 1½ in. × W 1¾ in. × D 3¾ in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceiver dimensions: H 1½ in. × W 1 in. × D 3 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor \/ transmitter unit with hygroscopic disc stack, rainfall-adjustment cap, vent ring, and antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceiver unit with weather-resistant cover and 20 in.

The transmitter and receiver are paired at the factory — hold the transmitter spindle at close range to test, and the receiver’s Power, Signal, and Sensor Status LEDs all light. If you ever need to re-pair, hold the receiver’s Smart Bypass button 7–10 seconds (Learn Mode) and press the transmitter spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RS1000 works with virtually any irrigation controller that accepts a Normally Open or Normally Closed rain switch on its 24 VAC bus. That covers nearly every modern residential and commercial controller — Irritrol, Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Orbit, and the rest. On controllers without a dedicated sensor input, wire the receiver in series on the valve common (the user’s guide covers this method step-by-step).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptional Accessories — Sold Separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS1000-RX — extra rain receiver to tie one transmitter into a second controller on the same property\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSBATT-TX — replacement CR2032 battery pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSCAP — replacement cap, disc stack, and spindle assembly for in-field service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo’s to pick one up, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irritrol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54179038363940,"sku":"50763","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/irritrol-rs1000-wireless-rain-sensor-product-shot_e3286776-1269-48e4-a972-c87bb34d4ab3.png?v=1780411075","url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/irritrol-rs1000-wireless-rain-sensor","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
