GB EASY RAIN
Easy Rain™ is a battery-operated, single-valve controller that works with Rain Bird
DV, PGA, PEB, and PESB valves. Easy Rain's maximum operating pressure is 7
bars/100 psi.
START-UP
A. Hand screw the latching solenoid onto the valve. After programming, (see
below) the Easy Rain unit can be fitted over the solenoid.
B. Install a 9V alkaline battery in the battery compartment. Put the battery in the
battery compartment with the terminals on top. Tighten the lid to prevent water
damage. (Drawing 1.2.)
NOTE: Replace the battery once a year. To save the program, install the new
battery within 30 seconds after removing the old one. Do not install the battery
under damp conditions or condensation may form inside the battery compartment.
Keep water out of the battery compartment.
PROGRAMMING
1. RESET PGM POSITION
To reset or change the program, turn the programming knob to RESET PGM and
wait at least 10 seconds.
2. SELECT START TIME
Turn the dial to the yellow section to choose the number of hours until the first
watering occurs. You can choose no delay (+0), 2-hour delay (+2), 4-hour delay
(+4), etc., up to a 12-hour delay (+12) maximum. Turn the programming knob to
the desired setting and wait at least 10 seconds. If you choose no delay (+0),
watering will start one minute after you set the start time.
3. SELECT CYCLE OF IRRIGATION
This setting is the number of hours in a watering cycle and the number of
waterings per cycle. You can choose a daily watering cycle (24 hours), every other
day (48 hours), or every third day (72 hours). Turn the dial to the pink section of
the Easy Rain sticker. You can choose one (1X) or two (2X) waterings per cycle.
For example, the setting "2X72" will water twice on every third day. Wait 10
seconds before going to the next programming step.
Put the reminder loop on the chosen setting to remember the programming you
have chosen..
NOTE: Selecting a 2X cycle results in two waterings with a 4-hour soak time
interval in between. The soak time interval between waterings allows the soil to
absorb the water and prevents puddling (clay soil) or erosion (slopes).
Example : if you start programming the Easy Rain at 16:00 (4:00PM) and you set
+4 when programming the start time and you set a 10-minute run time and a 2X48
cycle, the sprinklers will run as follows:
Day One:
20:00 (8:00PM) to 20:10 (8:10PM) watering
20:10 (8:10PM) to 0:10 (12:10AM) soak time
0:10 (0:10AM) to 0:20 (12:20AM) watering
Day Two no watering
Day Three Same as Day One
4. SELECT RUN TIMES
This setting is the duration of watering in minutes. You can choose a run time of 2,
5, 10, 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes.
Turn the programming knob to the green part of the sticker showing the run times
and chose the desired run time.
Leave the programming dial set on a run time for the controller to run an
automatic watering program.
The programming knob arrow will remind you of the run time you have chosen.
If you wish to change the irrigation run time, simply turn the programming knob to
the desired run time. Keep the programming knob on the new run time that you have
chosen.
DEFAULT PROGRAM :
If no programming has been made and the programming dial is positioned on the
run time section, a default program will be started 8 hours after the programming
knob has been turned to this position. The run time is the one is the one indicated
by the programming dial. The default cycle of irrigation is 1 X 24 h.
5. MANUAL WATERING
To start a manual cycle, turn the programming knob to ON. Watering starts 10
seconds after you set the knob. To resume automatic operation, turn the knob
back to the run time selected in step 4.
6. OFF MODE
To stop all watering, turn the programming knob to OFF. To resume automatic
operation, turn the dial back to the run time selected in step 4.
7. CONNECT TO VALVE
Fit the Easy Rain over the solenoid.
Do not connect any rain shutoff device to the Easy Rain.
