BASIC PIVOT PANEL INSTALLATION
Most pivot installations will use this method because they only have a single throw relay in their panel. (
Single
throw relays only have a COM and NO contact.
) In most installations Function Switches 1 thru 8 need to all be
turned OFF. The pivots well control relay will be connected to the
ON
-
OFF INPUT
and the
COMMON
input
on the transmitter. When there is contact made between
ON
-
OFF INPUT
and
COMMON
(
when requesting
water
) the transmitter will send out the ON code to the receiver. When contact is opened between
ON
-
OFF
INPUT
and
COMMON
(
such as when the pivot is finished or stop water
) the transmitter will send out the OFF
code. See the diagrams below. Brand specific instructions are shown later in the wiring diagrams.
OPERATING THE TEST BEACON
The Test Beacon function is turned on and off by using FUCNTION SWITCH #8 (see above).
This feature is
used for testing and range finding purposes only.
To activate the Test Beacon first turn OFF the power to the
transmitter. Turn function switch #8 on and connect a small jumper wire from the
ON
-
OFF INPUT
terminal to the
COMMON
terminal and then turn the power back ON to the transmit-
ter.
See diagram below.
When turned ON the Transmitting LED will
blink and the code will be transmitted every 10 seconds cycling the
receiver
’
s relay.
DO NOT have the receiver relay wired up to the
pump
during this procedure because it will continually open the relay
for 10 seconds and then close the relay for 10 seconds causing damage
to the pump.
Function switch #8 must be turned OFF, the jumper wire removed
and then turn off the power on the transmitter power switch to
take it out of Beacon Mode.
Trans Terminal Strip
Shown in the diagrams below is a generic diagram of how to wire a pivot panel to the Hot Shot Transmitter.
This method is used for one pivot with one well or one pivot with multiple wells that will always operate at
the same time. It can also be used with multiple pivots sharing one well or multiple wells as long as only 1
pivot is operating at a time and the other transmitters are switched OFF. The wiring for each transmitter is
the same.
