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.

Receiver Installation, Other Controllers (continued):
C. 24 Volt Solenoid Valves with Booster Pump (See Figure 5)
Locate the common wire to the
solenoid valves and the common wire
leading to the coil of the relay that
starts the pump. If these two wires are
connected to the “common” terminal
on the controller, disconnect both
of them.
Twist together these two wires along
with one wire from the Rain-Clik™,
and secure with a wire nut. Attach
the other wire of the Wireless Rain-
Clik™ receiver to the “common”
terminal on the controller. Note: The
pump circuit output must be 24 Volts
in this situation. Do not proceed
if 110V.
SETTING THE TRANSMITTER ADDRESS AT THE RECEIVER
Units purchased as a kit will already have their address learned.
No addressing is necessary, however if the receiver or transmitter is
replaced, you need to reset the address.
Each transmitter produced has a unique address hard-coded into it. A receiver
must learn this address to work with that transmitter. This step will only be
necessary if transmitters and receivers are purchased separately.
1. Prior to applying power (yellow wires) to the receiver, press and hold the
pushbutton on the receiver.
2. While the pushbutton is being held apply power to the receiver–the
receiver’s “sensor status” LED should light up yellow indicating the receiver
is ready to learn an address.
3. Push and hold the quick response post on the transmitter/sensor.
4. Within 4 seconds, the receiver’s “sensor status” LED should turn red.
5. Release the transmitter/sensor’s quick response post and within 4 seconds
the LED on the receiver should turn green. The address is now learned and
will be retained even in the event of a power outage.
OPERATION
The receiver has two LEDs, which indicate the state of the system. The
STATUS LED will be RED when the sensor is wet (watering disabled), and
GREEN when the sensor is dry (watering enabled). There is also a RED
BYPASS LED on the receiver. If this LED is lit, the rain sensor is bypassed
and watering will always be allowed. Even though the sensor is bypassed, the
STATUS LED will continue to alert you of the state of the sensor (Wet or Dry).
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION
The Wireless Rain-Clik can keep the irrigation system from starting or
continuing after rainfall or freezing conditions (Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik).
The time that it takes the Wireless Rain-Clik to reset for
normal sprinkler operation after the rain has stopped
is determined by weather conditions (wind, sunlight,
humidity, etc.). These conditions will determine how fast
the discs dry out, and since the turf is also experiencing
the same conditions, their respective drying rates will
roughly parallel each other.
There is an adjustment capability on the Wireless Rain-
Clik that will slow down the reset rate. By closing the
“vent” (see Figure 6) to completely or partially cover
the ventilation slots, the discs will dry more slowly.
This adjustment can compensate for an “overly sunny” installation location, or
peculiar soil conditions. Experience will best determine the ideal vent setting.
No adjustment is required for the freeze sensor portion of the wireless
Rain/Freeze-Clik. The Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik will automatically disable
the Irrigation system when temperatures fall below 37°F. Although Freeze
Sensors are designed to automatically prevent watering near or below freezing
conditions, visual checks and prudent manual watering suspensions should be
used in conjunction with any freeze sensor
BYPASSING THE SENSOR
The sensor may be bypassed by using the built in bypass feature in the SRC,
Pro-C or ICC. On other controllers the sensor may be bypassed by pressing the
“BYPASS” button on the receiver. The RED BYPASS LED on the receiver will be
lit when the sensor is bypassed. Pressing the “BYPASS” button again will cause
the RED BYPASS LED to go back out thus re-enabling the sensor.
Battery Life: The Wireless Rain-Clik transmitter is designed to work daily for
up to 12 years with the maintenance-free battery. The sealed unit is available
as a replacement part. Should you need to change the transmitter the receiver
will have to learn the new transmitter address.
There is no required maintenance for the unit. The Wireless Rain-Clik does not
have to be removed or covered for “winterizing” purposes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow these simple checks first before assuming the unit is bad and replacing it.
System will not come on at all:
A. First, check to see that the Wireless Rain-Clik discs are dry and the switch
“clicks” on and off freely by pressing the top of the spindle.
B. Next, look for breaks in the wire leading to the Wireless Rain-Clik receiver
and check all wire junctions.
C. Verify temperature (for Rain/Freeze-Clik installations).
System will not shut off even after heavy rainfall:
A. Check wiring for correctness (see section on wiring to your irrigation system).
B. Is the rainfall actually hitting the Wireless Rain-Clik? Check for obstructions
to rainfall such as overhangs, trees or walls.
