Description

The Renke RS-YUX-N01-H is a robust precipitation detection sensor engineered for continuous outdoor monitoring. It utilizes a spiral metal coil sensing mechanism to detect the presence of rain or snow, triggering a digital status change. The sensor incorporates an auto-heating circuit that activates in cold environments to melt snow and prevent ice accumulation on the sensing surface, ensuring reliable operation down to -40°C.

Communication is handled via a standard RS485 interface using the Modbus RTU protocol, allowing for easy daisy-chaining and integration into SCADA, PLC, or cloud-based monitoring platforms. A built-in Form C relay provides a dry contact output for connecting external audible/visual alarms or controlling ancillary equipment like irrigation systems or window closures.

Key Features

  • High-strength, UV-resistant ABS enclosure with IP68 waterproof rating
  • Precision spiral metal coil detection element for accurate precipitation sensing
  • Integrated heating element automatically activates to prevent ice formation
  • Dual-output capability: RS485 Modbus for data and relay for direct control
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 80°C
  • Low power consumption: 0.4W normal, 2.4W when heating
  • Software-configurable parameters including Modbus address
  • Compatible with Renke's free cloud platform for remote alarm management

Applications

  • Automated weather station precipitation logging and alerting
  • Industrial facility leak detection and water ingress monitoring on roofs or outdoor equipment
  • Smart agriculture systems for irrigation control based on precipitation events
  • Building automation for closing skylights, awnings, or windows upon rain detection
  • Transportation and infrastructure monitoring for icy road condition warnings

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this sensor?

The sensor operates from a wide-range DC power supply of 10 to 30 volts. This makes it compatible with common industrial 12V and 24V DC power systems without requiring a precise voltage regulator.

How do I communicate with the sensor and configure its settings?

Communication is via RS485 using the Modbus RTU protocol. You can connect it to a PLC, industrial gateway, or microcontroller with a RS485 transceiver. Parameters like the Modbus address (default is 01) are configured through dedicated configuration software provided by the manufacturer.

What does the relay output do and how is it triggered?

The integrated Form C relay provides a dry contact (NO/NC) output. It is triggered when the sensor detects precipitation (rain or snow). This output can directly power an alarm siren, light, or control a relay module to activate other equipment like closing a valve or motor.

How does the auto-heating function work?

The sensor has an internal heating element that automatically activates under cold conditions to prevent ice and snow buildup on its sensitive spiral coil. This ensures detection accuracy during winter storms and maintains sensor functionality in sub-zero temperatures down to -40°C.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, its construction is specifically designed for harsh environments. The high-strength ABS housing combined with an IP68 rating guarantees complete protection against dust and long-term water immersion, making it ideal for rooftop, roadside, or agricultural field installations.
