Irrigation Site Conditions
• Dry climate/low humidity
• Infrequent, light rains
• Sensor receives long periods
of direct sun
• Clay-type soils
• Moist climate/high humidity
• Frequent, heavy rains
• Sensor mounted in a mostly
shady area
• Sandy soils
Set Vent Ring
The vent ring determines "drying time" – the length
of time the sensor suspends irrigation after a rainfall.
For most installations set the vent ring to the fully
open position.
At properties where water has a tendency to pool
after a rainfall, partially close the sensor's vent
ring. This adjustment to the vent ring extends the
period of time that the irrigation cycle is suspended,
allowing the property time to drain.
To set the drying time, turn the vent ring below the
sensor dial cap to the desired position, as shown in
Figure 3.
Mounting
!
NOTE:
carefully and install the unit only in full
compliance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) or your local electrical code.
Bracket Model
To install the RSD-BEx Rain Sensor bracket model:
1.
Select an appropriate mounting location within
25' (7,6m) of your controller.
2. Drive two mounting screws through the holes
(A) in the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure
4 (A). Use the fasteners appropriate for the
mounting surface (wood, tile, masonry, etc.).
Conduit Model
To install the RSD-CEx Rain Sensor conduit model:
1.
Thread the Rain Sensor's lead wires through an
adaptor fitting appropriate for your installation
and screw the sensor into the adaptor, as shown
in Figure 5.
2.
Make sure the rain sensor dial cap is level and
free from overhead obstructions.
3.
Secure the adapter fitting to the conduit, and
then connect the Rain Sensor to the controller
using the appropriate procedure as described
in the "Rain Sensor Wiring" section.
