Irrigation Site Conditions
• Infrequent, light rains
• Sensor receives long periods
of direct sun
• Clay-type soils
• Frequent, heavy rains
• Sensor mounted in a mostly
shady area
• Sandy soils
Set Vent Ring
The vent ring determines "drying time" – the length of
time the sensor suspends irrigation after a rainfall.
For most installations set the vent ring to the fully
open position.
At properties where water has a tendency to pool after
a rainfall, partially close the sensor's vent ring. This
adjustment to the vent ring extends the period of time
that the irrigation cycle is suspended, allowing the
property time to drain.
To set the drying time, turn the vent ring below the
sensor dial cap to the desired position, as shown in
Figure 3.
