Typical Connection - Rain Sensor
Interrupts Valves
In this irrigation setup, the RG-11 interrupts
the flow of current to the zone valves when it
needs to inhibit watering. When the rain
amount hits the threshold, the relay opens the
normally closed (NC) connection. When the
rain has evaporated, the NC connection
closes again, and the irrigation cycle resumes
normal operation.
The RG-11 requires a power source and may
be powered from the transformer that powers
the irrigation controller
DIP Switch 7 is ON for all Irrigation Mode
applications.
Using Sensor Connection
If the irrigation controller is equipped with
a Sensor Connection, you may connect
the RG-11 directly to the sensor input.
The irrigation controller will interpret the
data from the RG-11 and properly inhibit
watering based on this data.
The RG-11 requires a power source and
may be powered from the transformer
that powers the irrigation controller.
DIP Switch 7 is ON for all Irrigation Mode
applications.
