The SLW15 is a wireless weather station operating on a bi-directional

frequency. Maximum range is 600 feet (182m) Line of Sight (LOS). The

SLW15 is operable with all SmartLine® firmware versions except 1.05.

If you are not sure of the firmware version in your controller, turn the

dial to Advanced Functions, press the Adjust Value down arrow button

until you see the ABOUT screen and then press Next to view the firm-

ware version. The SLW15 and SLHUBRF are “pre-paired” or synched

at the factory for your convenience.

SLW15 QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

Required Hardware:

• SmartLine® irrigation controller version 1.08 or above

• SLHUBRF wireless communication hub

• SLW15 Wireless Weather Station

1. Install the SLHUBRF and secure

with the provided screw.

2. Mount the SLW15 Weather

Station. Choose a location that is

open to rainfall with good air cir-

culation and avoid heat sources.

3. Open battery compartment on

the bottom of the SLW15 weather

station, press the diagnostic

button and watch the LED light.

All blinks should be GREEN. If

all blinks are GREEN proceed

to step 4. If any blinks are

RED, then use the Complete

Installation and Operation

Instructions.

4. Go to the SmartLine® control-

ler and press the Mode button

to place the controller in the

Auto Adjust mode. If you have a

GREEN mode LED and a blink-

ing antenna icon in the display,

the installation is successful. If

you see a message in the display that says “I need lati-

tude set,” or “I need weather station” re-check SmartLine®

required programming data (see controller manual) and/

or repeat installation of the SLW15 using the Complete

Installation and Operation Instructions.

SLW15 COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Install the SLHUBRF

The SLHUBRF is the wireless transceiver that communicates with

the SLW15. The SLHUBRF is supplied with your SLW15. To install

in your SmartLine® controller, open the operating panel on the

SL1600 or SL4800. On the SL800, remove and discard the hub

cover panel from the back of the SL800 housing.

Insert the SLHUBRF into the mating pin connector holes. Be care-

ful not to bend the connecting pins. Secure the SLHUBRF to the

housing with the supplied screw. The RF antenna will hang down

inside the SL1600 or SL4800 housing. On the SL800, allow the

RF antenna to hang underneath the controller.

Make sure AC power is supplied to the SmartLine® controller

and then proceed to Step No. 2.

2. Mounting the SLW15

Decide on a good mounting location for your SLW15 wireless

weather station. The mounting location should be one that is

not affected by a heat source such as an air conditioner, hot

roof, hot asphalt, etc. Mount in an area with unobstructed air-

flow. Mounting is acceptable in both direct sunlight and shade.

However, shade is preferable to direct sunlight. Additionally, the

location must have open access to rainfall (cannot be covered

by any overhead obstruction such as trees, roofs, etc.). Mount

the SLW15 as close as possible to the controller. Obstacles such

as earth, hills, walls or other structures will reduce the maximum

operating range of the SLW15. Use the diagnostic LED to verify

communication and to check operating range at a specific loca-

tion. Extreme conditions may prevent wireless communication; in

this circumstance, use the SLW10 or SLW20 wired weather station.

3. Conduct Communication Range Test

• Open the battery compartment door at the bottom of the

SLW15 so that you can view the diagnostic LED. Press the diag-

nostic button inside the battery compartment while you watch

the LED. You will see 4 blinks. All blinks should be Green. The

4th (final blink) indicates the strength of the RF communication.

If the 4th blink is Red, you do not have a satisfactory RF com-

munication. Move the SLW15 to a different mounting location

and repeat the diagnostic procedure (sometimes it might be

possible to just rotate the SLW15 to acquire a Green signal).
