Features:
The Type WB is a special purpose level switch designed for use with sewer diversion and automated irrigation systems. The WB gives an electrical signal after a given amount of rain has fallen. This signal is used to divert storm water away from the normal water treatment facilities and into the storm sewer system, or to activate a sump pump. The signal can also be used to omit an irrigation cycle for country clubs, agriculture firms, or others that are affected by rain. Particularly valuable for large expanses of land where localized storms might cover one area, but not another. By use of rain switches in different areas, the irrigation system will operate only in those areas where rainfall did not occur.
Unless otherwise specified, the electrical signal will be given after 1/10″ of rain falls. This can be adjusted in the field up to 3/10″ of an inch of rainfall. If the solenoid valve option is selected, this point is not field adjustable.
