Hunter Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik™ Weather Sensor

Hunter Industries has introduced a wireless version of its popular Rain/Freeze-Clik™ weather sensor; combining both a rain and freeze sensor into a single; price-competitive unit.

Designed for irrigation professionals who prefer wired weather sensor installations; the new Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik weather sensor also meets local regulations where both a rain and freeze weather sensor are required; such as in the Dallas; Texas; area. Combining a rain and freeze weather sensor into one unit eliminates the need for separate sensors and installations.

Like Hunter’s Rain-Clik weather sensor; the new Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik uses Hunter’s innovative and unique Quick Response™ feature; designed to shut the irrigation system down as soon as it begins to rain. No other weather sensor offers this feature.

Other features and benefits of Hunter’s new Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik include:

• Quick and easy installation on most irrigation controllers. Hunter’s Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik comes with a standard metal extension arm and 25 feet of wire. An optional metal gutter mount (part #SGM) can also be used for gutter installations.
• Automatic freeze alert. The freeze sensor shuts off the irrigation system when temperatures fall below 37 degrees Fahrenheit; reducing the potential for ice to form on landscapes; walkways or roadways.
• No calibration or adjustment needed. The freeze sensor; enclosed in a polycarbonate housing attached to the bottom of the Rain-Clik sensor; does not require calibration or adjustment. Slots in the side of the housing allow air to flow around the sensor for accurate temperature sensing.

Hunter’s Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik weather sensor is now available for shipment.

Hunter Industries is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of irrigation equipment for the landscape and golf course industries.
