ConneCTIng a WeaTHer sensor
A Hunter weather sensor or other micro-switch type weather
sensors can be connected to the XC. The purpose of this
sensor is to stop automatic watering when weather conditions
dictate. WRC (Wireless RainClik) is not compatible with
XCHybrid.
1. remove the metal jumper plate that is attached across
the two SEN terminals inside the controller.
2. Connect one wire to one SEN terminal and the other wire
to the other SEN terminal.
When the weather sensor has
deactivated automatic watering, the
OFF, and icon will appear on the
display.
Testing the Weather Sensor
The XC provides simplified testing of a rain
sensor when the sensor is wired into the
sensor circuit. You can manually test proper
operation of the rain sensor by running
a manual all sTaTIons cycle or by
activating the system using the one TouCH
manual sTarT (see page 11). During the
Manual cycle, pressing the test button on the Mini-Clik ® will
interrupt watering.
Manually Bypassing the Weather Sensor
If the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation you can bypass it
by using the bypass switch on the front of the controller. Slide
the switch to the sensor bypass position to disable the rain
sensor from the system to allow for controller operation. You
can also bypass the weather sensor for manual operation by
using the manual – one sTaTIon function.
