SXR Optical Rain Sensor
GrowControl™ SXR optical rain sensor: infrared rain detection with no moving parts, heated and fully sealed, for closing vents at the first sign of rain.
Optical Rain Sensor
GrowControl™ SXR is a high-quality optical rain sensor with no moving parts.
It senses water hitting its outer surface with beams of infrared light, the same principle used in millions of automotive rain-sensing windshield wiper controls.
Close vents at the first drop.
Connect the SXR to a GrowControl™ GCX cultivation controller through DXI8 digital inputs to close vents and windows down to a weather set point at the first sign of rain.
Smart Detection
Smart logic prevents false triggers from dust and other slow build-up. Four sensitivity settings respond to anything from the slightest amount of rain to heavy rainfall. The arm mounts it to a structure or a weather station, and it is available as an installed option on SXW weather stations.
