DS-8 Roof & Gutter Controller

The totally sealed, low voltage, remote mount precipitation sensor allows the user to install the small sensor head in a downspout, the bottom of a gutter, or at the end of an antenna boom, up to 10' away, while keeping the main controller in a more convenient or protected location.
