User Manual

INTRODUCTION
In most installations, the Wireless Rain-Clik™ acts as a switch to break the
circuit to the solenoid valves of the irrigation system when it has rained. This
allows the timer to advance as scheduled, but keeps the valves from opening
the water flow. Once the Wireless Rain-Clik™ has dried sufficiently, the switch
closes again to allow for normal operation.
MOUNTING
Standard Mount:
Using the screws provided, mount the Wireless Rain-Clik™ transmitter on any
surface where it will be exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in the path of
sprinkler spray. The switch-housing portion must be upright (as pictured), but
the swivel-bracket can be moved for mounting on any angled surface.
Gutter Mount:
Clip the enclosed gutter mounting bracket over the inside lip of the gutter. Attach
the Wireless Rain-Clik™ to the gutter mounting bracket with the screws provided.
Helpful Hints for Mounting:
A. When looking for a suitable location such as on the side of a building or post,
the closer the Wireless Rain-Clik™ is to the controller, the better reception
will be. DO NOT EXCEED 300 feet.
B. The ideal location for mounting is not always the most practical location. In
the case where a compromise must exist (such as low location on a side wall
rather than the preferred high location), note that the Wireless Rain-Clik™
will still work as it will always receive some rainfall – it just will not be as
accurate in its gauging as it could be.
C. As described in the
“Operation” section of
this manual, “reset
rate” refers to the
amount of time it takes
the Wireless Rain-
Clik™ to dry out
sufficiently for the
sprinkler system to be
allowed to come back
on. The mounting
location will affect this
rate and should be
taken into consider-
ation should extreme
conditions exist. For
example, mounting the
Wireless Rain-Clik™
on a very sunny,
southern end of a
building may cause the
Wireless Rain-Clik™
to dry out sooner than
desired. Similarly,
mounting on the
northern end of a
building with constant
shade may keep the
Wireless Rain-Clik™
from drying
soon enough.
Transmitters/Sensor
• Nothing to set up with
this unit after installation
• The unit can be tested
stand-alone as follows:
press and hold the post
on the quick response
section. Within 3
seconds of pressing
and holding this post
down, the LED
protruding from the
potting should blink
once. Release the post,
within 3 seconds the
LED should blink once
again. (Figure 1)
WIRING TO YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Important: The Wireless Rain-Clik™ is sold and designed for hook up to
24 Volt irrigation controllers only.
WARNING! This unit is
designed to be installed in
conjunction with 24VAC
circuits only. Do not use
with 110 or 220VAC
circuits.
Receiver Installation,
SRC Controller:
1. Using the hardware
included, mount the
receiver to the wall (use
included wall anchors if
needed). Make sure to put
the rubber cover/gasket
under the unit when
attaching it in an outdoor
location.
2. Attach the two yellow wires
to the AC terminals of the
SRC (polarity does not
matter).
3. Attach the blue wire to the RS terminal.
4. Attach the white wire to the “C” terminal.
5. Attach the valve common wire to the RS terminal.
Receiver Installation,
Pro-C and ICC Controllers:
1. Using the hardware
included, mount the
receiver to the wall (use
included wall anchors if
needed). Make sure to put
the rubber cover/gasket
under the unit when
attaching it in an
outdoor location.
2. Attach the two yellow wires
to the AC terminals of the
controller (polarity does not
matter).
3. Attach the blue wire to one
SEN terminal and the white
wire to the other SEN
terminal of the controller.
A. Receiver Installation, Other Controllers:
1. Using the hardware included, mount the receiver to the wall (use included
wall anchors if needed). Make sure to put the rubber cover/gasket under the
unit when attaching it in an outdoor location.
2. Attach the two yellow wires to the AC terminals of the controllers (polarity
does not matter).
3a. Most controllers use a
normally closed rain
sensor. To attach the
receiver to this type of
controller, attach the blue
wire and the white wire
to the sensor terminals of
the controller, or in-line
with the valve common.
3b. A few controllers on the
market require a normally
open rain sensor. To
attach the receiver to this
type of controller, attach
the blue wire and the
orange wire to the
controller’s sensor input.
