“Enable Rain Sensor”.
5. Select the rain / freeze sensor in the “Configure Devices” screen. It will be displayed in the “Other Devices” section.

7. To save the configuration, click the “Apply Changes” button.

Water Source
All systems have a water source. Irrigation Manager defaults to a single constant source.
If your system only has one water source you may choose to use the default setting.
However, if your system has multiple water sources, two mains or some other
configuration, you need to configure each water source and assign zones to each source.
To configure a water source
1. Select the water source in the “Configure Devices” screen. It is displayed in the
“Water Sources” section.
2. Enter a descriptive name for the water source in the “Name” box.
3. Enter the “Minimum Flow Rate” for the water source. If the value is not
known, leave default factory settings.
4. Enter the “Maximum Flow Rate” for the water source. If the value is not
known, leave default factory settings.
5. Enter the “Valve Current” by clicking the “Test…” button.
6. Assign zones to the water source by clicking the “Assigned Zones…” button.
7. Select the water source and the zones to be assigned to that water source.
Zones that are not assigned to the selected water source will not be
highlighted. Zones that are assigned to the selected water source will appear
with a green highlight. Zones that are not assigned to any water source will
appear in red.
