Why Choose the Topp RDC

Reliable Rain Detection

The RDC detects rainfall directly and triggers immediate window closing, providing consistent weather protection without relying on weather forecasts or manual checks.

Direct Controller Integration

Connects directly to the dedicated rain sensor input on Topp TF24 and TF44 controllers, making installation straightforward with no additional components.

Priority Closure

The rain signal takes priority over all other commands (thermostatic, remote or timer), ensuring windows close whenever rain is detected regardless of other system states.

Immediate Rain Response

Detects rainfall on the sensor surface and sends a close signal to the controller within seconds, minimising any exposure of interior surfaces to rain.

Dedicated Sensor Input

Plugs directly into the rain sensor terminal on Topp TF24 and TF44 controllers: no relay, adapter or additional wiring block needed.

Override Priority

The rain sensor signal has the highest priority in the control hierarchy, overriding temperature-triggered opens, remote controls and time schedules.

Weather-Resistant Housing

IP65-rated enclosure is suitable for permanent outdoor installation on a roof parapet, window head or external wall.

Key Features

Automatic Window Closing

Detects rainfall and sends an immediate close signal to the connected controller, ensuring all ventilation windows close before water ingress can occur.

Controller Compatible

Designed to work directly with Topp TF24 (24V) and TF44 (230V) controllers via a dedicated rain sensor input: no additional interface required.

Outdoor Rated

Weatherproof IP-rated enclosure is designed for external mounting on a roof, wall or window frame where it is exposed to the elements.

Priority Override

The rain sensor signal overrides any open command from the temperature controller or remote control, ensuring windows always close in wet weather.
