When the Rain Switch absorbs rain water it automatically signals the GreenKeeper 212 to suspend all watering operations. The “No Watering” symbol will appear in the upper right corner of the display until the Rain Switch drys out and automatically resets. The “No Watering” symbol will disappear and controller operation will resume as programmed.
