FEATURES................................................................................... Wireless Rain-Clik™ sensors attach quickly and easily to your controller. Wireless Rain-Clik™ features include: • Quick Response™ unique technology that turns off the irrigation system immediately – not after it has accumulated a fixed amount of rain. No calibration is required. • Maintenance-free design provides trouble-free operation for up to ten years. There are no batteries to replace.
WIRELESS RAIN-CLIK™ COMPONENTS................................ Wireless Rain-Clik™ Transmitter 1. Manual Test Spindle – press and hold the manual test spindle to confirm proper operation of your transmitter. 2. Vent Ring – used to adjust the reset rate or dry out time for the sensors. Opening the vents will decrease the reset rate, while closing the vents will increase the time it takes for the discs to dry out. 2 1 Vents 4 3. Radio Antenna – transmits a wireless signal to the receiver up to 800 ft.
Wireless Rain-Clik™ Receiver 1. Bypass Button – allows automatic or manual watering when the sensor is active. 2. Sensor Bypass LED – indicates when sensor has been bypassed. 3. Sensor Status LED – used to indicate the status of the sensor. 4. Radio Antenna – receives a wireless signal from the transmitter up to 800 ft. (275m) It is recommend that the antenna be oriented vertically. 5. AC Power Wires – the two yellow wires are attached to a 24 VAC source from the controller.
WIRELESS RAIN-CLIK™ COMPONENTS (continued)........... 6. Sensor Wires (See page 5) – the sensor wires are attached to either the sensor terminals in the controller or in-line with the valve common wire. Blue/White Wires (used for normally closed sensor applications) Blue/Orange Wires (used for normally open sensor applications) 7. Rubber Cover – used to protect the receiver when mounted in outdoor locations.
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER.................................................... Using the hardware supplied, mount the receiver to the wall next to the irrigation controller. It is recommended that the receiver be installed away from sources of electrical interference and metal objects to maximize communication range. Extend and straighten the antenna upward. Make sure to attach the rubber cover under the receiver when installing the receiver in an outdoor location. Wiring the Receiver to a Hunter SRC 1.
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER (continued)............................... Wiring the Receiver to a Hunter XC, Pro-C, ICC, I-CORE and ACC 1. Remove the sensor jumper across the two SEN terminals in the controller. 2. Attach the two yellow wires to the 24 VAC terminals. 3. Attach the blue wire to one SEN terminal and the white wire to the other SEN terminal. Wiring the Receiver to Other Controllers: Normally Closed Sensor Applications 1. Attach the two yellow wires to the 24 VAC terminals. 2.
Normally Open Sensor Applications 1. A few controllers on the market require normally open rain sensors. To attach the receiver to this type of controller, attach the blue and orange wire to the sensor input. Controllers with 24 VAC solenoids and a booster pump 1. Locate the common wire to the solenoid valves and the common wire to the pump relay. If these two wires are connected to the “common” terminal on the controller, disconnect both of them. 2.
MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER........................................... 10 Standard Mounting Gutter Mounting (Optional) Using the screws provided with your sensor, mount the transmitter on any surface where it will be exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in the path of sprinkler spray. The sensor should Standard Mount be oriented upright (as pictured), but the swivel bracket can be moved for mounting on any angled surface. Loosen the locknut and screw before swiveling the bracket, and then re-tighten.
Hints for mounting the transmitter A. Choose a location such as the side of a building or post. The closer the transmitter is to the receiver, the better the reception. Do not exceed 800 ft (275 m). B. To assure maximum range in communication, mount the receiver and transmitter away from sources of electrical interference (i.e. control panels, transformers, etc.) or metal objects. Best performance is obtained when no physical obstruction is between the transmitter and receiver. C.
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION......................................... Transmitter Operation SENSOR BYPASS LED: There is nothing to set up with the Wireless Rain-Clik ™. Receiver Operation The receiver has two LED lights that indicate the state of the system.
Bypassing the Sensor The sensor may be bypassed by using the built in bypass feature on the receiver. To bypass the sensor, press the SENSOR BYPASS button on the receiver. The bypass status light will turn red when the sensor is bypassed. Pressing the SENSOR BYPASS button again will re-enable the sensor and the sensor bypass light will go out. Setting the Transmitter Address at the Receiver Note: Units purchased as a kit will already have their communication address preset.
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION (continued).................... 1. Prior to applying power (yellow wires) to the receiver, press and hold the bypass button on the receiver. 2. While the bypass button is depressed, apply power to the receiver. The sensor status indicator light should light up yellow indicating that the receiver is ready to learn a new address. 3. Press and hold the quick response button on the transmitter. 4. Within 4 seconds, the receiver’s sensor status indicator light should turn red.
2. Within a few seconds the LED light on the bottom of the sensor will briefly flash. 3. Release the spindle and the LED light will flash again. If the LED flashes, the battery in the transmitter is good. If you are experiencing problems with your Wireless Rain-Clik ™ sensor, follow these simple checks first before assuming the unit is defective and replacing it. System will not come on at all: A.
