The integrated rain sensor automatically detects rainfall and pauses irrigation, preventing overwatering and conserving water. The system resumes watering automatically once the sensor dries.
- Spegnimento automatico: When rain is detected, the timer will automatically stop any active irrigation program.
- Sensibilità regolabile: You can set precise rain thresholds (3-19 mm or 1/8" to 3/4") to determine when irrigation should pause. This prevents unnecessary watering based on your garden's specific needs.
- Automatic Resume: The timer will automatically resume its scheduled programs once the rain sensor has dried, eliminating the need for manual resets. The ventilation ring on the sensor helps regulate the drying speed.

The ITV156 timer automatically pauses irrigation when rain is detected, protecting your garden and reducing waste.

Control rain sensitivity with four adjustable levels from 1/8" to 3/4" to match your garden's needs.

The timer automatically resumes irrigation once the rain sensor dries, with no manual reset required.

In addition to the automatic rain sensor, you can manually set a rain delay to skip watering for a specified period.

- Select a delay period (e.g., 24, 48, or 72 hours).
- The timer will automatically skip watering for the chosen duration, and programs will resume afterward.

The rain delay function allows you to skip irrigation for 24, 48, or 72 hours, with programs resuming automatically.
