Connecting a Rain Sensor (optional)
A rain sensor is an optional control device that connects
directly to the TMC-212 to automatically interrupt auto-
matic controller operation during rain.
A sensor bypass switch is provided to enable sensor
operation to be disabled as needed.
A sensor configuration switch enables the controller to work
with a normally-open or a normally-closed rain sensor.

3. Set the Sensor Configuration Switch (5) to NC
(Normally Closed) or NO (Normally Open) operation
as required by the type of sensor connected.
4. Set the Sensor Control Switch (6) as required: ENB
(enable) allows the rain sensor to interrupt watering;
DIS (disable) bypasses the rain sensor input.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the ENB switch posi-
tion with the NC switch position unless a normally-
closed rain sensor is connected. Watering operation
will be suspended if this condition occurs.
