Brand: K-Rain SKU: 3208-WRFS
Product Overview
The K-Rain 3208-WRFS is a wireless rain/freeze sensor designed to suspend compatible irrigation operation after measurable rainfall or when outdoor temperature reaches approximately 37°F or below. It helps a supported PRO EX 2.0 control system avoid watering during weather conditions when irrigation may be unnecessary or potentially harmful.
The rain shutoff threshold can be adjusted from approximately 1/8 inch through 1/2 inch or more, and the vent ring allows the dry-out period to be adjusted for local exposure and landscape conditions. The weather-resistant sensor supports flat-surface or gutter mounting and can communicate without a wire run between the outdoor sensor and controller. Compatible PRO EX 2.0 Wi-Fi controllers within range may be paired according to K-Rain's instructions.
This listing is for the 3208-WRFS sensor, not the 3208-WRFS-KIT. A standard PRO EX 2.0 installation requires the separate 3206 RF receiver module unless the necessary receiver was supplied with another compatible kit or is already installed. Wireless range varies with construction materials, terrain, antenna placement, obstructions, and radio interference. Mount the sensor where it can receive natural rainfall and representative outdoor temperature while remaining clear of irrigation spray, roof runoff, heat sources, and sheltered locations.
Key Features

Compatibility and Installation Notes
- Verify the controller and installed receiver configuration before ordering.
- A standard PRO EX 2.0 controller requires the separate 3206 RF module.
- The 3208-WRFS-KIT includes both sensor and RF module; this standalone listing does not.
- Mount in an open location exposed to natural rain and representative temperature.
- Pair, test, and adjust the sensor according to the current K-Rain instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 3208-WRFS include the controller receiver?
No. This is the standalone sensor. The 3208-WRFS-KIT is the configuration that includes the sensor and RF module.
At what temperature does the freeze function interrupt watering?
K-Rain specifies freeze interruption at approximately 37°F or below.
Can one sensor work with more than one controller?
Compatible PRO EX 2.0 Wi-Fi controllers within usable range may be paired as permitted by K-Rain. Site conditions affect radio performance.
Does it measure soil moisture?
No. It responds to rainfall accumulation and freezing outdoor temperature, not soil moisture.
Why Buy This K-Rain 3208-WRFS from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply clearly distinguishes the standalone 3208-WRFS sensor from the 3208-WRFS-KIT and the separate 3206 receiver, helping customers assemble the correct weather-sensing configuration without paying for duplicate hardware or missing a required module.
