Wireless Rain-Clik™ Rain Sensors Installation Instructions INTRODUCTION 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. The Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik includes a freeze sensor that is designed to keep the system from operating at or below 3°C (37°F). At temperatures above 3°C, it will close the circuit for normal sprinkler operation. MOUNTING Standard Mounting: Using the screws provided with in the package, mount the Wireless Rain-Clik 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 angles surface. Loosen the locknut and screw before swiveling the bracket, and then re-tighten. Gutter Mount (SGM Sold Separately): The sensor gutter mount can be purchased as an optional accessory for your Wireless Rain-Clik (order p/n SGM). The SGM allows the Wireless Rain-Clik to be mounted directly to the side of a gutter. To install your Wireless Rain-Clik on a gutter, Remove the screw, nut, and standard metal extension arm supplied with the Wireless Rain-Clik, and reinstall the screw and gutter mount. Position the gutter mount on the edge of the gutter and twist the thumbscrew to secure it in place. Helpful Hints for Mounting: A. Choose a 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. Correct placement of the Wireless Rain/ Freeze-Clik model is important for accurate temperature sensing. The best location would be out of direct sunlight. 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 consideration 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) Receiver • 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. WIRING TO YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM 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: (See Figure 2) 1. Attach the two yellow wires to the AC terminals of the SRC (polarity does not matter). 2. Attach the blue wire to the RS terminal. 3. Attach the white wire to the “C” terminal. 4. Attach the valve common wire to the RS terminal. Receiver Installation, Pro-C, ICC, and EC Controllers: (See Figure 3) 1. Attach the two yellow wires to the AC terminals of the controller (polarity does not matter). 2. Attach the blue wire to one SEN terminal and the white wire to the other SEN terminal of the controller. Receiver Installation, Other Controllers: A. Normally Closed Sensor Applications (See Figure 4) 1. Attach the two yellow wires to the AC terminals of the controllers (polarity does not matter). 2. 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. B. Normally Open Sensor Applications 1. 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.

Wireless Rain-Clik™ Rain Sensors Installation Instructions 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. CONTENTS Included with the Wireless Rain-Clik are the following items: 1. Sensor body with Transmitter 2. Telescoping extension arm 3. Wall mount / Conduit adapter 4. Gutter clip 5. Mounting Hardware 6. Receiver 7. Cover for Receiver 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.
