Installation
There are several different ways to install your Rain Bird
®
unit in the water depending on conditions . In an
unlined pond you can use the Stakes or Poles Method . You can also mount the unit to a dock or floating raft .
In a lined pond you can use the Cement Blocks Method to position the unit or use the Sled Mount Method
(purchase kit from Rain Bird) .
Note:
If your pond has a steep slope or is unsafe for you to wade out in it, a small boat or a raft may be needed.
unlined ponds - stakes or poles method
Materials Needed:
poles or stakes, hammer
1 . Place the stakes in the water . A minimum of 2‘ of water is
required at all times . Use the float to judge the spacing of
your stakes .
2 . Place the unit in the water on the stakes, leaving the cable
unconnected on the shore line . It is important to make
sure that the float can go up and down with the water
level . Make sure flat end of the transducer head (not the
side with the cord) faces out .
3 . Now that the unit is in the water* you may plug the
Rain Bird power supply into the GFCI outlet .
* It is EXTREMELY important you do not connect to power
source before you put it in the water as this can result in
damage to the transducer head and will void your warranty.
