A Hunter Mini-Clik
®
rain sensor or other type of interrupt weather sensor
can be connected to the SRC. The purpose of this sensor is to stop
watering when precipitation is sufficient. The sensor connects directly
to the controller and allows you to easily override the sensor by using
the RUN (BYPASS SENSOR) position on the dial.
1. Route the wires from the rain sensor up through the same opening
used for valve wiring.
2. Connect one wire to the RS terminal and the other to the C terminal.
3. Connect the valve common from the field to the RS terminal.
Note: If a pump relay is being used, the pump relay common must
also be connected to the RS terminal.
A weather sensor shuts off your system during rainy
weather – saving water. Ask your installer for more
information on this device.
