UPDATE SUCCESSFUL message will appear momentarily confirming that
controller setup is updated and complete and then, CONTROLLER MENU

The controller is ready to program:

Repeat the steps for additional controllers.

NOTE:

The user can now easily connect to this controller using the new

assigned controller ID.  Repeat the steps to program additional controllers.  

NOTE:

The 2 yellow sensor wires are left connected, so the controller does not

think it is raining.  If a rain sensor needs to be added, see sensor installation below.

Using a Sensor 

NOTE:

Do not install sensor until after the controller has been given an ID #

by the RC-2 handset.

4.1  Sensor Installation

Remove the waterproof connector from the controller's yellow wires and
splice them. Splice the sensor two normally closed (N/C) black wires. Connect
1 of each yellow wire from the controller with 1 of each black wire from the
sensor using waterproof connectors (if sensor is connected, the sensor will
override the program when triggered).

4.2.  Compatible Sensors 

Sensors compatible with LEIT-2 controllers:

Rain sensors:……HUNTER MINI-CLICK II (model 502) and the RAIN BIRD RSD 

Moisture sensors: …………………………IRROMETER RA and TGA series 

Freeze sensor: ……………………………………HUNTER FREEZE-CLICK

Troubleshooting 

The LEIT-2 wireless irrigation control system is a series of components
consisting of LEIT-2 ambient light powered 2 station controller, the RC2
handset, S-305DC solenoids, solenoid adapters, hydraulic control valves, and
wires/splices.  It is best to troubleshoot this DC system (like an AC system) by
a process of elimination; the goal being to determine which component(s) has
failed.  The following facts and tips may be helpful to eliminate certain
components and facilitate faster troubleshooting.  It is assumed that these are
installed controllers that are receiving the proper amount of light.  Keep in
mind that the problem may be with more than one component.

5.1  Troubleshooting Controller 

1. To test the controller’s output, connect a solenoid to one of the controller’s

red and white wire pairs. Institute a test run via the handset with 1 minute
on the station in question and zero minutes on the other station. If the
solenoid is not installed, verify that the plunger retracts and extends or that
you hear the sound of the plunger latching. If the solenoid is installed onto
