Looking to determine how to test the Hunter Sprinkler System roof edge sensor.

still went on. Thinking now that the sensor may be defective, as it didn't seem to be working, as the sprinkler system still went on during the rain.
Is there a sure way to test the sensor, or just replace it??
If replacing, were is it available? Doesn't look to be too hard to replace, as just 2 wires
going to it.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

First, makes sure the rain sensor button is not in the "bypass" position in the controller panel. Then, adjust the outside sensor to the full open position by turning the adjustment knob. Then, soak the sensor with water, so the cork discs are completely wet. Check the controller panel screen to see if it says "off" and "sensor". If it doesn't, I think you have a defective sensor.
Most people who replace the rain sensor use a wireless type instead of connecting the wires. If you use a wired sensor, you will probably need to cut the existing wires and splice them to the new sensor wires.
