2.0 Getting Acquainted With Your SmartWire SL9600TW Controller
Rain/Freeze Sensing Button:
Used to activate or bypass
optional sensors for rain,
freeze, or wind. If these
sensors are connected to your SmartLine® controller, they will
override watering operations if the ON LED is selected. If your
sensor/s have paused your system operation, the ON LED will
be RED until the sensors allow watering to resume. In the event
of a "rain" pause, the LED will change from RED to ORANGE
for an additional pause time before the LED displays GREEN
and system operation resumes. Smart Watering deficits will
decrement to 0 at the rate of 1" per hour. The sensor LED will
display GREEN again when the sensor/s are no longer pausing
your system operation.
Note: The SLW Delay
dryout period is factory
set for 48 hours. To
change the delay period,
see SLW in Advanced
Menu.
If you wish to deactivate the sensors, use the RAIN/FREEZE
SENSING button to light the green OFF LED. Example: You wish
to water aer fertilizing and your rain sensor is still pausing the
watering program. As long as the OFF LED is on, the sensors
will not pause your system operation.
Note: You may have zones you want to omit from rain/freeze
shutdown. Example: Potted plants under cover. If you are
using an SLW Weather Sensor or the RFS5 rain/freeze sensor
communicating with your controller through an SLHUB, see
SLW in Advanced Menu for instructions. If you are using a rain/
freeze sensor connected to your controller at the SEN terminals,
see SENSOR in Advanced Menu for instructions.
