Rain Gage
Rain Sensing Wiper ControlPerfect for Marine and Specialty Vehicles |
The RG-10 Rain Gage may be used to control a
wiper system. The outputs control SLOW and FAST wiper speeds. This
may be used for the wipers on a boat, ship, locomotive, observation
window, or many other applications. The RG-10 does not care what the
wipers are wiping.
To a first approximation, all vehicles are a Chevy. |
The nominal wiper control is set so that it properly controls the wipers of a passenger car. It
is optimized for wiper systems that require between 1.2 and 3
seconds to make a single complete actuation of the wipers. A long
cycle time is provided (Switch 4 on) for systems with a wiper
actuation cycle time between 3 and 8 seconds. In all cases, the
RG-10 provides a pulse to initiate the wiper actuation. Most wiper
systems will include some sort of cam feedback mechanism that causes
the wipers to keep running until they reach a home position.
The FAST output is provided for installations that include two speed wiper control. If the wiper motor lacks a high speed, you may simply leave the AUX/FAST output disconnected. |
