The DRY OFFSET value must be between 700 and 900, when the
RAINCAP
®
hardware operates normally. The DRY command without a
parameter just shows this parameter.
WET
The WET command without a parameter shows the scaling factor that
normalizes the RAINCAP
®
signal change from the dry state to the wet
state to be 1.00. A typical value is close to 0.0015.
DRD WET SCALE 0.00169
The WET ON command is used to set the parameter. The RAINCAP
®
measuring surfaces must be coated with a wet cloth or immersed in water
for at least 30 seconds, when the WET ON command is given. Make
sure the wet cloth touches only the RAINCAP
®
sensor.
The wet scale normalizes the measured signal range (DRY - WET) to
1.00.

heating elements and power.
