• Electromagnetic Compatibility.12 Technical Assistance Numbers.12 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Irritrol Wireless RainSensor. The Wireless RainSensor components are designed for easy installation, so your sensor-controlled irrigation system will be up and running in minutes. • Component Overview Figure 1 Receiver (Figure 1) 1 - Weather-resistant Cover: Slides upward to remove. Protects the receiver module when located outdoors. Ratones paranoicos discografia rar. Keep the cover installed at all times other than when manually operating the receiver.

2 - Antenna wire: Straighten vertically for the best reception. • Quick Start Installation Instructions The following instructions are provided for the experienced installer. Refer to Figures 3–5 below.
Note: When installing Sensor/Transmitter model RFS1000 for freeze detection, refer to additional freeze sensor installation information on page 8. Disconnect power to the irrigation system controller. • Detailed Installation Instructions There are two main components of the Wireless RainSensor: the Receiver and the Sensor/Transmitter.
The Receiver is installed adjacent to or within the cabinet of the irrigation system controller. The Sensor/Transmitter is installed outdoors where it is exposed to unobstructed rainfall. Controllers with no sensor inputs and no pump start or master valve: Refer to Figure 7. Disconnect the valve common wire from the controller’s common terminal (generally marked “C”, “Com”, or “VC”). Join this wire to the White wire using a wire connector. • Part 2 - Power Wire Connection Note: The Receiver requires a nominal voltage of 24 VAC to operate. It should only be connected to an irrigation controller that uses a 24 VAC UL listed Class 2 transformer to supply power.
Caution: Do not connect the Receiver directly to 120/240 VAC power as this may result in irreversible damage. • Rainfall Adjustment Figure 10 The Sensor/Transmitter can be adjusted to respond when it has detected nominal rainfall in the following amounts: 1/8' (3mm), 1/4' (6mm), 1/8' (3mm) 1/4' (6mm) 1/2' (12mm) or 3/4' (19mm). Carefully rotate the 1/2' (12mm) 3/4' (19mm) Rainfall Adjustment Cap so the pins are positioned in the desired slots. • Installation Figure 11 The Sensor/Transmitter should be mounted vertically with the antenna wire extending Do not over-tighten straight down. Avoid installations where the thumbscrew antenna wire would contact any metal object. Mount the Sensor/Transmitter as close to the Antenna wire Receiver as possible to avoid interference of extended the wireless signal. • Wireless RainSensor Operation Normal Operation When the Wireless RainSensor activates due to sufficient rainfall or freezing tempera- tures (model RFS1000 only), the Sensor Status indicator will remain illuminated on the Receiver.
After the rain sensor dries out, the controller will resume its normal watering schedule and the Sensor Status Indicator will turn off. • Sensor/Transmitter Battery Replacement 1. Remove the bottom cover of the Sensor/Transmitter by pressing down on the thumb-release lever on the side of the unit.
Carefully slide the circuit board out. See Figure 13. Remove the battery cover and replace using two 3V CR2032 (or equivalent) batteries. • Troubleshooting Signal Indicator (Installation Validation The Signal Indicator provides instant signal strength feedback for the installer. The indicator always shows the strength of the last signal received.
