Detailed Installation Instructions

There are two main components of the Wireless RainSensor: the Receiver and the
Sensor/Transmitter. The Receiver is installed adjacent to the irrigation system controller.
The Sensor/Transmitter is installed outdoors where it is exposed to unobstructed rainfall.

Mounting the Receiver

1. Always mount the Receiver FIRST, adjacent to the controller with either the provided
stainless steel screws or double-sided foam tape. The connection wire cable is 50 cm
long, so before attaching the Receiver, make sure the wires will easily reach the
controller's connection terminals.
Wiring the Receiver
There are two parts involved in wiring the Receiver:
Part 1: Attach the Receiver control wires.
Part 2: Attach the low-voltage power wires to supply constant 24 V ac to the Receiver.
Part 1 - Control Wire Connection
The Receiver control wires are used to interrupt the common wire of the valves or they
can be connected directly to the sensor input terminals of the controller (if provided).
1. Disconnect power to the controller.
2. Follow applicable wiring procedure A or B or C.
Note: The following diagrams are representations only and do not depict actual con-
troller layouts. Refer to the installation instructions provided with your controller for spe-
cific wire connection information.
A. Controllers with sensor inputs (with or without pump/master valve):
Refer to Figure 6. Find the controller sensor terminals (generally marked "Sensor",
"SEN" or "S") and directly connect the White and Brown* wires to these terminals
in any order. There may be a jumper wire or tab connecting the terminals that must
be removed and/or a sensor bypass/control switch that must be activated.
