Convenient

Adjusting your wipers takes just a split second – after split second after split second. Automatic windshield wipers are easy to use and convenient. Drivers like them because it means no more fiddling with buttons and controls to get the wiper speed just right. The system does this instantly for the driver."

NEW MODEL! Rain Tracker RT-50A

The new RT-50A offers even better rain sensing performance than our previous model RT-50. Further, our new rain sensor is compatible with thick windshields, such as those found on some RV's and heavy trucks, and includes available headlamp control relay output and cam feedback input.

Remarkable. Better performance at a lower cost.

Seamless Integration

the simple and versatile Rain Tracker interface

The Rain Tracker control module works in parallel with the existing wiper system. Manual modes are not affected, which means you don't give up any features. For most installations, the Rain Tracker ties into a few wires coming off the wiper switch. We provide detailed wiring diagrams for over 5000 different vehicles.

A dash-mounted switch activates the Rain Tracker. Simply leave the switch off when it is not raining, or when cleaning the windshield or going through a car wash.

New Features!

Headlamp Control Relay Output

The RT-50A includes a headlamp control relay output that can be used to control the vehicle headlamps. The lights come on when it is raining, or when it is dark. We developed a smart headlamp control algorithm that does and excellent job of turning on the lights just when you would-- a lot like the rain sensor that turns on the wipers just when you would. The lights come on rapidly in a tunnel, yet do not make annoying rapid on/off changes. The performance of our headlamp control system exceeded that of the original-equipment system we benchmarked.

Now the catch: Wiring the vehicle for headlamp control is trickier than controlling the wipers. It often involves external relays. So, while we emphasize how straightforward a the wiper control wiring is, we make no such claims for the headlamp control. We provide the feature more for the for the professional installer, the OE / Chassis builder applications (e.g. RV's), and the advanced DIY. We advise against its deployment for most nonprofessionals. We do not offer any technical support or design assistance for the headlamp control feature. The headlamp control works great, but you are on your own to use it.

Cam Feedback Input

Many newer vehicles send digital data from the wiper switch to control the windshield wipers, so you cannot tap into the wiper system coming from the switch. In most of these cases, you can tie into the wiper motor windings at the motor, and use the cam feedback input of the RT-50A to insure that the wipers properly return home at the end of each cycle.
