OPERATION
The DS-2B senses precipitation and outdoor air temperature. It also provides on/off control for direct operation of
rain or snow control loads and on/off status indication to a building automation system or other light load. It installs
out in the open. Rain and snow will fall directly on the top of the enclosure where the sensing element is located.
When precipitation, in the form of rain or snow, is present, the load and monitor relay contacts close based on the
adjustable settings for the trigger (setpoint). When precipitation stops, the contacts remain closed until the
adjustable delay-off timer expires.
Factory settings are 39F (3.9C) trigger point, and the delay-off timer is enabled and set for one hour. Also, the lowtemperature cutout is disabled, so the trigger will switch even below 15F (-9.4C).
A three-position toggle switch on the housing allows manual override. The manual-on position turns on the control
(closes the relay outputs). The automatic position allows automatic control based on the adjustable settings.
If switched to manual-on then back to automatic within two seconds, the control will execute one delay-off cycle.
The toggle switch also has a standby/reset position, which turns off the control and resets the off timer. These manual override functions may also be accomplished remotely by wiring dry contacts to the remote control/monitoring
