Toro Wireless RainSensor 53770 User Manual

Installation Procedure
The Sensor/Transmitter should be mounted vertically with the antenna wire extending
straight down. Avoid installations where the antenna wire would contact any metal
object.
A rain gutter is an ideal location for the Sensor/Transmitter. Simply position the bracket
with the thumbscrew under the gutter lip and tighten to secure (do not over-tighten).
See
Figure 7.
The Sensor/Transmitter can also be mounted on any suitable solid structure such as
the side of the roof, a shed or fence using the two supplied stainless steel screws.
See
Figure 8.
Once securely fastened, adjust the Sensor/Transmitter on the mounting bracket as
needed to align the Sensor/Transmitter housing vertically.
