11. CONNECTING A RAIN SENSOR
Most “normally closed” rain or soil moisture sensors can be connected to the
720A, 740A or 760A controllers. The function of the sensor is to prevent automatic
watering by the set program due to excessive rainfall or when the soil is too moist.
11.1 TO CONNECT THE SENSOR TO THE CONTROLLER:
1. Cut the middle of the external loop of yellow wire.
2. Strip approximately 1/2” of insulation from the end of each wire.
3. Splice one yellow wire to each of the wires coming from the sensor.
NOTE:
Use waterproof wire connectors to secure the connections.
