Rain Master RME HAWK, User Manual

CONTROLLER CONNECTIONS – VALVES AND FIELD WIRING
The controller utilizes quick disconnects and color coded wires. The wires are 24" long
and each end must be stripped and attached to the corresponding field wire. HAWK HK
and HK-T model controllers come equipped with terminals to which the field wires are
directly connected. Unused wires should be taped off to prevent shorting.
The station numbers are labeled just above the quick disconnects behind the lower panel
of the controller. Simply match the station's wire to the appropriate field wire. Note that
the controller's COMMON wire is WHITE and the MASTER VALVE/PUMP is BLACK.
Should it be necessary to detach the Quick Disconnect blocks from the printed circuit
board, hold the plastic assembly and pull down gently but firmly.
Note: When reattaching the Quick Disconnect, be careful to make sure that the lip at the
top of the plastic connector is facing you as you push the connector onto the pins.
Additionally, be sure to match the Quick Disconnect blocks with the corresponding
color as labeled on the bottom of the printed circuit board.
MASTER VALVE AND PUMP WIRING OPTIONS
The RME HAWK provides a variety of control options when selecting a Master Valve
and Pump. Because the pump and master valve can be assigned to any program, and the
master valve can be either a Normally Open or Normally Closed configuration, virtually
any system can be accommodated. For example, drip programs may be SETUP in one
or more programs which don’t use the pump, while large rotors may be in a pump defined
program. The following table summarizes the options which are available, the installation
diagrams required to achieve these options, and the corresponding SETUP (programming
of the RME HAWK using the SETUP key). For detailed information on SETUP, please
refer to ADVANCED SETUP PROGRAMMING beginning on page 47.

*No SETUP programming required (factory default settings).
Note: Although Option 2 shows that a pump is in the system, the SETUP
programming indicates that the PUMP should not be programmed.
This preserves Station 1 as a station output.
