Pairing the Smart Pod and Weather Sensor
Note: The Smart Pod must be initially paired (matched) to the Weather Sensor to enable wireless communication.
The pairing process helps prevent the Smart Pod from receiving unwanted signals from other wireless devices
operating within the system reception range.
1. Press and hold the Smart Pod ENTER button until the red
and green
indicators blink alternately.
2. Press the Rain Sensor test pin to signal to the Smart Pod. Signal reception and pairing is confirmed when the
red
indicator responds with a sequence of rapid blinking with intermittent On and Off.
Adjusting the Rain Sensor Threshold
The Rain Sensor is preset to suspend watering at 1/4" (6 mm) of accumulated rainfall. Three alternate settings
of 1/8" (3 mm), 1/2" (12 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm) are provided. Prior to installing the Weather Sensor, adjust the
threshold to the preferred setting as required.
Note: Increasing the threshold setting results in extending the length of
timer required for the sensor to shut off or postpone watering during rain,
as well as extending the dry-out period before scheduled watering will
resume. In areas where heavy fog or mist is common, the 1/8" (3 mm)
setting may not provide accurate rain detection, and is not recommended.
1. Turn the cap slightly, releasing it from the two retaining pins.
1/4" (6.4mm)
1/2" (13mm)
2. Adjust the cap to engage the pins at the preferred slot setting.
Installing the Weather Sensor
Important: The Weather Sensor must have full exposure to sun, wind and rain, and must not be installed inside a
rain gutter, or in any location where immersion, runoff, or contact with irrigation spray will occur. Avoid installation
near a heat source, such as a heater vent or chimney. Also avoid installation near any large metal structure or high
current-draw equipment that may generate signal interference. Ensure the antenna wire hangs unobstructed below
the Weather Sensor.
