Adjusting the Rain Sensor Threshold

e Weather Sensor is preset to suspend watering at 1/4” (6

mm) of accumulated rainfall. ree alternate settings of 1/8” (3

mm), 1/2” (12 mm) and 3/4” (19 mm) are provided. Prior to

installing the Weather Sensor, adjust the threshold to the

preferred setting as required.

Increasing the threshold setting results in extending the

length of timer required for the sensor to shut o or

postpone watering during rain, as well as extending the

dry-out period before scheduled watering will resume.

In areas where heavy fog or mist is common, the 1/8” (3

mm) setting may not provide accurate rain detection, and

is not recommended.

1. Turn the cap slightly, releasing it from the two retaining pins.

2. Adjust the cap to engage the pins at the preferred slot setting.

The Weather Sensor

Important: e Weather Sensor must have full exposure

to sun, wind and rain, and must not be installed inside a rain

gutter, or in any location where immersion, runo, or contact

with irrigation spray will occur. Avoid installation near a heat

source, such as a heater vent or chimney. Also avoid installation

near any large metal structure or high current-draw equipment

that may generate signal interference. Ensure the antenna wire

hangs unobstructed below the Weather Sensor.

e communication range of the Wireless Weather Sensor

system is 1000’ (305 m) LOS (line of sight). Some loss of

range can be expected due to interference from obstacles

in the signal path. Test the signal reception from the

proposed installation site prior to mounting the Weather

Sensor, as described in the following procedure.

1. Start a manual watering operation for a zone that can be

seen from the proposed Weather Sensor location. Press and

hold the Rain Sensor test pin to send a signal to the Smart

Connect. If the signal is received, watering should shut o

within a short time. If not, repeat the test from a slightly

dierent location, until communication is established.
