Rain Bird - WR2RFC - Wireless Rain-Freeze Combo

Rain Bird WR2RFC Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor & Timer 

Take the guesswork out of watering and save up to 35% on water usage with the Rain Bird WR2RFC Wireless Rain-Freeze Combo. This smart, professional-grade sensor automatically communicates with your irrigation controller, interrupting the watering schedule when it detects rain or freezing temperatures. It's the perfect way to conserve water, save money, and protect your plants and irrigation system from a damaging frost.

The WR2RFC is engineered for reliability and ease of use. It features a superior wireless signal range of up to 700 feet, overcoming most line-of-sight obstructions. Installation is a simple, one-person job thanks to the signal strength indicator on both the sensor and the controller interface. Once installed, you can easily adjust rainfall settings (from 1/8” to 1/2”) and freeze temperature settings (from 33°F to 41°F) directly from the intuitive, icon-driven interface. The "Quick Shut Off" feature ensures not a drop is wasted by immediately stopping irrigation as soon as rain begins. 

Built from durable, UV-resistant polymer and featuring a tool-free battery replacement, this sensor is designed to deliver years of dependable performance. It's compatible with most 24 VAC irrigation controllers, making it an easy upgrade for almost any system.

Installs faster with one-person

Rain Bird designed the WR2 so that one person can install it quickly and easily. Signal strength is displayed on both the sensor unit and the controller interface. The sensor's innovative versatile mounting bracket quickly attaches securely to a gutter or any vertical surface, such as a fence or wall.

Easier to use and program

Programming the WR2 is simplified for fast set-up. In just a few seconds, you can select set points, program the irrigation modes and save your default. On the controller interface, all settings are displayed on the easy-to-read LCD screen, so you can see signal strength, rain and temperature set points, battery life and more at a glance. Unlike other rain sensors, the WR2 has a long-lasting battery that's quick and easy to replace.

Superior signal reliability

Signal strength is displayed on the controller interface using familiar cell phone icons. Dual antennas safeguard the system from signal interference by radios, mobile phones, power lines, etc. The WR2 system overcomes most line-of-sight obstructions so you have freedom in locating the sensor. Weather data is updated every 45 seconds to ensure the most reliable communication between sensor and controller.
