User’s Guide  
Wireless Rain Sensor Series  
Rain Sensor, Model TWRS and  
Rain/Freeze Sensor, Model TWRFS  
 
The wireless sensor system is comprised of a programmable, weather-resistant receiver module  
and a sensor module with built-in transmitter. The receiver installs next to the irrigation controller  
and connects to the controller’s 24 Vac power source and sensor input terminals (if equipped)  
or splices directly into the irrigation valve common wire. The sensor module is installed within  
range of the receiver in a location that best represents the landscape’s sun/shade exposure and  
can provide reliable communication from the sensor to the receiver.  
Once activated by preset rain or low temperature levels (Rain/Freeze model only), the sensor  
communicates to the receiver via ultra high-frequency radio signal. The receiver responds by  
placing the controller’s automatic watering schedule on hold or by simply opening the valve  
common circuit to prevent sprinkler valve operation. When watering is once again needed,  
the sensor system automatically resets, allowing automatic irrigation to resume.  
More than just an accurate rain switch, the wireless sensor system actually adapts to your  
landscape with the simple, yet sophisticated Water Conservation feature. Just choose the  
conservation level that corresponds to your landscape soil type and the sensor location.  
A dry-out period, adjusted for actual rainfall duration, is automatically placed after the sensor  
system resets to effectively delay automatic watering until it is actually needed.  
TM  
Other standard features include a Smart Bypass button that gives you manual control over the  
sensor system with a single touch, system status indicators to see at glance that your sensor  
system is active and watering is on hold, watering delay to postpone automatic watering from  
1 to 5 days, air temperature displayed for Rain/Freeze sensors and even a Fail-safe mode to allow  
irrigation in case the sensor system is not performing properly.

Installing the Sensor Module  
Choosing the right installation site for the sensor module is the key to getting the maximum benefit  
from your sensor system. Select a sensor installation site that provides the following conditions:  
• Unobstructed exposure to rainfall–away from overhangs, tree branches, etc.  
• Protected from irrigation spray, rainwater accumulation and the possibility of submersion.  
• Exposure to sunlight and shade conditions similar to the landscape being watered.  
• Strong communication signal from the sensor to the receiver.  
Note: If installing a Rain/Freeze sensor specifically for freeze detection, refer to the additional  
site selection considerations provided on page 13.  
Before installing the sensor module, test the system once more to confirm operation by using the  
following test procedure:  
1. Activate a watering zone that is visible from the intended installation site.  
Note: The manual operations mode of some controllers will bypass the sensor circuit. If your  
controller operates like this, set an automatic start time to have the sprinklers run now.  
2. With the sprinklers on, press and hold the sensor spindle until the sprinklers shut off, then  
release the spindle. If the test is successful, the sensor is ready to install. If the sprinklers do not  
shut off, try moving the sensor a few feet in either direction and test again. Moving the receiver  
antenna slightly may also improve the signal strength.  
Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 22 for additional information.  
10  
 
3. Adjust the Rain sensor to the preferred rainfall threshold activation point.  
The settings are indicated in 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" on one side of the cap,  
and 3mm, 6mm, 12mm and 19mm on the other. First, turn the cap to align  
the stationary pin with the vertical slot. Guide the cap to the preferred  
horizontal slot position, then turn it just enough to engage the pin.

Note: The 1/8" (3mm) setting is not recommended for high humidity or foggy locations.  
4. To install the sensor module on a rain gutter, simply position the Quick Clip bracket on the  
lipped edge of the gutter and secure by tightening the thumb screw (Figure 12).  
The sensor module can also be  
Figure 13  
Figure 12  
mounted to any solid structure,  
such as a fence or the side of a  
roof using the Quip Clip bracket  
and two stainless steel screws as  
shown in Figure 13.  
Note: For optimum signal  
strength, the antenna wire should  
hang straight down. Ensure  
antenna is not in contact with any  
metal object or structure.  
11  
 
A pipe-mount adapter is provided to enable sensor installation on a secured section of 1/2" (13mm)  
diameter Schedule 40 PVC pipe.  
Note: Metal pipe or conduit may interfere with radio signal transmission and is not recommended.  
Remove and replace the Quick Clip bracket with the pipe-mount adapter. Ensure the friction  
washer is installed between the adapter and housing tabs as shown in Figure 14.  
Check the sensor for vertical alignment. To  
adjust, loosen the Phillips screw slightly, align  
as needed and tighten screw. See Figure 15.

Freeze Sensor Site Selection  
In addition to the rain sensor site conditions listed on page 10, the following conditions are  
necessary to ensure optimum freeze sensor operation. For best results, the sensor should be:  
• Located in the coldest portion of the landscape.  
Away from direct exposure to morning sunlight.  
Away from any heat producing or storing device, equipment or appliance such as a pool/spa,  
heater, water heater, chimney or hot air vent pipe.  
CAUTION: The rain/freeze sensor module should be regularly inspected for damage  
and manually tested to ensure proper operation.  
The Toro Wireless Rain/Freeze sensor system is NOT intended for farm/crop freeze  
protection and must not be used for this purpose.  
Important: Visual checks and prudent manual watering suspension must be used in  
conjunction with any freeze sensor. A freeze sensor should only be relied upon as an aid to  
conscientious watering practices, including frequent visual checks. Air temperatures may be  
above freezing while the ground and vegetation temperatures remain below freezing. Due to  
sensor location and sunlight exposure, actual air temperature may be lower than measured by the  
sensor. Operation of the sprinkler system during these conditions may cause icing. Freeze sensor  
response time may not coincide with extremely rapid temperature drop, enabling automatic  
irrigation to occur.  
13  
 
Set Temperature Activation Threshold (TWRFS models only)  
The freeze sensor temperature activation threshold is adjustable from 35°F to 45°F or 2°C to 7°C.  
When the air temperature reaches the threshold setting, the freeze sensor activates the receiver.  
The Freeze Sensor Status indicator will turn on. The sensor system will return to the Monitor  
mode when the outside air temperature rises above the sensor threshold temperature.  
Select Temperature Threshold  
Figure 16  
1. Press the Setup button to display Freeze. The display will indicate the  
current temperature threshold setting. See Figure 16.  
Note: The  
display prompt will begin flashing to indicate the selected  
feature is adjustable.

Congratulations!  
Your Wireless RainSensor system installation is complete. Now, to take advantage of the unique  
Water Conservation feature, review the information on the next page and select the level that best  
suits your landscape application.  
14  
 
Water Conservation Feature – By simply choosing the Minimum, Medium or Maximum  
conservation level that corresponds to your landscape’s soil type and the sensor location, a dry-out  
period, adjusted for actual rainfall duration, is inserted after the  
sensor system resets to delay the resumption of automatic watering.  
Figure 18  
Each Water Conservation level represents a baseline value that  
is automatically adjusted to compensate for rainfall duration.  
Min (display number 1) – sets baseline at no days of delay.  
Med (display number 2) – sets baseline at one day of delay.  
Max (display number 3) – sets baseline at two days of delay.  
To assist in choosing which conservation setting to use, review  
the chart in Figure 18. First select the landscape soil type. Now,  
drop down to the row that best describes the sun/shade coverage  
of the sensor location. The level indicated where the two conditions meet is  
Figure 19  
the suggested starting point. That’s all there is to it!  
1. Press the Setup button to display Water Save. The display will indicate  
the current water conservation level setting and the corresponding level  
indicator will be illuminated. See Figure 19.

the bar scale. See Figure 23.  
Note: Low battery strength is indicated when the battery symbol appears  
on the main display. To prevent possible loss of communication, battery  
replacement is recommended.  
Refer to “Sensor Module Battery Replacement” on page 21.  
17  
 
Dry Out Feature  
The Dry Out feature is provided to override the Water Conservation baseline level, allowing the  
dry-out delay period to be set in 0.5-day increments from 0.5 to 4.0 days.  
Note: Before using the Dry Out feature, allow the sensor system to normalize by cycling through  
rain and/or freeze activation several times.

Note: Reselecting a Water Conservation level will override the Dry Out feature setting.  
Fail Safe Feature  
The Fail Safe feature is provided to alert and respond to a loss of communication signal and/or if  
the sensor system stays in the active mode for a prolonged period of time. This important feature  
safeguards your automatic irrigation system from being inadvertently shut off for an indefinite  
period of time due to a sensor system malfunction.  
18  
 
Loss of communication  
If the sensor system does not communicate within a 24-hour period, it will  
remain in its current state (Active or Monitor). To alert you to this condition,  
the Attention Required symbol will be displayed. The Antenna symbol  
and current air temperature (TWRFS only) will be flashing and the signal  
bar indicator will be cleared. See Figure 25.  
If communication is not restored within 48 hours, the receiver module will  
automatically revert to the Monitor mode, allowing the irrigation system to  
resume automatic operation. The Attention Required and Antenna symbols  
will flash. On the TWRFS model, the temperature is replaced with two dashes.  
The Water Conservation indicators will flash in unison. See Figure 26.  
Figure 25  
Figure 26  
Prolonged Active Mode  
If the sensor system remains in the Active mode for seven consecutive days, it  
will automatically revert to the Monitor mode, allowing the irrigation system to  
resume automatic operation. The Sensor Status indicator will flash continuously  
and the Attention Required symbol will be displayed. See Figure 27.  
Figure 27  
Note: This condition generally indicates a sensor problem. Check the  
sensor test spindle to make sure it moves freely. (The sensor discs must

Troubleshooting  
If you encounter problems at any point in the installation process, or the components do not seem  
to function properly, try the Troubleshooting procedures first. If the problem is not listed or the  
remedy does not resolve the problem, call the Toro Irrigation help line at 1-800-664-4740.  
Solving Reception Problems  
The Wireless RainSensor has an operating range of 500' (152.4m) LOS (Line-of-Site).  
Note: Line-of-Site is a radio signal transmission measurement standard equivalent to an open  
field site with no obstructions.  
However, in most cases, there are buildings or other objects between the sensor and receiver  
modules that can reduce signal strength. Most residential and light commercial buildings do not  
reduce the signal enough to pose problems under normal conditions. However, there are some  
structures with very thick, dense walls, or that involve large amounts of radio frequency  
interference due to electronic equipment that can reduce the sensor signal range.  
To improve signal strength:  
• Move the antenna away from any large metal object.  
• Avoid indoor receiver locations where cellular or cordless phones have trouble with reception.  
• Mount the sensor and receiver modules as close together as possible.  
• Move the sensor module to one side if is installed directly over the receiver module.  
22  
 
The receiver display is blank.  
• Check the 24 Vac power connections. The red power wires from the receiver must be connected  
to the controller’s 24 Vac power source. Make sure the power wires are not connected to the  
station or pump/master valve terminals. These terminals only provide 24 Vac power when the  
controller is operating the sprinkler zones.  
The sensor module does not activate the receiver at close range.  
• The receiver module may not recognize the sensor module address code. See “Set or Restore  
Sensor Address Code” on page 20.  
• Remove and replace the sensor module batteries.  
The sensor system works, but the controller does not respond to the sensor.  
• Check the Yellow or Brown wire connection. The Brown wire must be used for Normally  
Closed (NC) controller operation and Yellow wire for Normally Open (NO) operation.  
• The Brown wire must be used when splicing into the valve common wire.  
• Make sure the controller’s “Sensor Bypass” switch is not in the Bypass or Active position.
