SENSOR DETAILS
Clik Operation
The Rain-Clik™ will keep the irrigation
from starting or continuing during
rainfall. No adjustment or calibration
is required for the Rain-Clik™ sensor.
The Rain-Clik™ uses patented Quick
Response™ technology that will shut
the system off during the first few
minutes of rain. The only adjustment
that is necessary is the vent ring that
will either slow down or speed up the
time at which the sensor dries out and
the system is turned back on. Opening the vent will speed up the
dry out time and closing the vents will slow down dry out time.
In addition, the Solar Sync’s built-in temperature sensor provides
system shutdown when freezing conditions occur. At approximately
37˚ F/3˚ C and below the Solar Sync module will command the
controller to shut down. A “sensor off” indication will be displayed
on your controller when the sensor is active. When temperatures
rise above 37˚ F/3˚ C, automatic irrigation will be activated at the
next scheduled start time.
Bypassing the Sensor
If the Rain Sensor or Freeze Sensor
is preventing system operation,
SENSOR OFF will be displayed on
the controller’s display. Simply move
the Bypass switch on the controller to
BYPASS and the Solar Sync’s Rain and
Freeze Sensor will be bypassed. This
allows you to operate your system.
The Solar Sync will continue to make
adjustments to your controller’s
watering schedule.
The controller’s Rain Sensor switch should be in the ACTIVE
position for the Rain Sensor and Freeze Sensor to interrupt watering
during rainy and/or freezing conditions.
Maintaining the Sensor
The Solar Sync sensor is designed for outdoor use, but must be
kept clean to function correctly. Wiping the clear dome covering the
solar radiation sensor every 6 months is recommended. Do not use
harsh chemicals or abrasives on the clear dome.
