FEATURES.Wireless Rain-Clik sensors attach quickly andeasily to your controller. Wireless Rain-Clik features include: Quick Response unique technology that turnsoff the irrigation system immediately – not afterit has accumulated a fixed amount of rain. Nocalibration is required. Maintenance-free design provides trouble-freeoperation for up to ten years. There are nobatteries to replace. Wireless operation up to 800 ft. (275m)No wires are required between the rain sensorand controller. Two models available:Wireless Rain-Clik (WR-CLIK) acts as aswitch to deactivate automatic watering of yourirrigation controller when it rains. Once rain hasstopped and the sensor has dried out, automatic irrigation will resume.Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik (WRF-CLIK)the Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik includes a freezesensor that is designed to keep the irrigationsystem from operating when temperatures dropto 37 F or below. When temperatures rise above37 F, the sensor will enable automatic watering.Automatic Synchronization – the WirelessRain-Clik transmitter will send wirelesssignals every hour to the receiver to assurethat the sensor and receiver are continuouslysynchronized.Lost Communication/Battery StatusIndication – the Sensor Bypass LED will flashRED if the receiver has not received a signalfrom the transmitter. This can indicate a low ordead battery.3

Rubber Cover – used to protect thereceiver when mounted in outdoorlocations.76

MOUNTING THE RECEIVER.Using the hardware supplied, mount thereceiver to the wall next to the irrigationcontroller. It is recommended that the receiverbe installed away from sources of electricalinterference and metal objects to maximizecommunication range. Extend and straightenthe antenna upward. Make sure to attachthe rubber cover under the receiver wheninstalling the receiver in an outdoor location.Wiring the Receiver to a Hunter SRC1. Attach the two yellow wires to theAC terminals.2. Attach the blue wire to the RS terminal.3. Attach the white wire to the C terminal.4.

Attach the two yellow wires to the 24VAC terminals.3. Attach the blue wire to one SEN terminaland the white wire to the other SENterminal.Wiring the Receiver to Other Controllers:Normally Closed Sensor Applications1.

Normally Open Sensor Applications1. A few controllers on the market requirenormally open rain sensors. To attachthe receiver to this type of controller,attach the blue and orange wire to thesensor input.Controllers with 24 VAC solenoids anda booster pump1. Locate the common wire to the solenoidvalves and the common wire to the pumprelay. If these two wires are connected tothe “common” terminal on the controller,disconnect both of them.2. Twist together these wires along with oneof the wires from the Wireless Rain-Clik and secure with a wire nut.3.

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER.10Standard MountingGutter Mounting (Optional)Using the screwsprovided with yoursensor, mount thetransmitter on anysurface where itwill be exposedto unobstructedrainfall, but notin the path ofsprinkler spray.The sensor shouldStandard Mountbe oriented upright(as pictured), but the swivel bracket can be movedfor mounting on any angled surface. Loosen thelocknut and screw before swiveling the bracket, andthen re-tighten.The sensor gutterSGMmount can bepurchased as anoptional accessoryfor your WirelessRain-Clik (orderp/n SGM). TheSGM allows thetransmitter to bemounted directlyto the edge ofGutter Mounta gutter. Installthe SGM on the transmitter by removing themetal extension arm supplied with your sensorand reinstalling the SGM. Position the guttermount on the edge of the gutter and twist thethumbscrew to secure it in place.

Hints for mounting the transmitterA. Choose a location such as the sideof a building or post. The closer thetransmitter is to the receiver, the better thereception. Do not exceed 800 ft (275 m).B. To assure maximum range incommunication, mount the receiverand transmitter away from sources ofelectrical interference (i.e. control panels,transformers, etc.) or metal objects.Best performance is obtained when nophysical obstruction is between thetransmitter and receiver.C. Correct placement of the WirelessRain/Freeze-Clik model is important foraccurate temperature sensing. The bestlocation would be out of direct sunlight.D. The reset rate refers to the amount oftime it takes for the sensor to dry outsufficiently for the sprinkler system to beallowed to come back on. The mountinglocation will affect this rate. For example,mounting the transmitter in a very sunnylocation may cause the sensor to dry outsooner than desired. Similarly, mountingthe sensor in constant shade may keep thesensor from drying out sooner.11

ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION.Transmitter OperationSENSOR BYPASS LED:There is nothing to set up with theWireless Rain-Clik .Receiver OperationThe receiver has two LED lights that indicatethe state of the system.SENSOR STATUS LED:RED – sensor iswet (wateringdisabled)GREEN – sensordry (wateringenabled)YELLOW –sensor is inaddressing mode12RED – rain sensor is bypassed (eventhough the sensor is bypassed, theSTATUS LED will continue to alert you ofthe state of the sensor (wet or dry).OFF – rain sensor is enabled.FLASHING RED – indicates thatcommunication between the transmitterand receiver was lost.Note: When you first apply power to theSENSOR BYPASSRed light indicatessensor is bypassedSENSOR STATUSGREEN Sensor is dryRED Sensor is wetPress to bypass, pressagain to re-enableRAIN SENSOR BYPASSreceiver, the SENSOR STATUS LED will beRED. Press the manual test spindle on thetransmitter for 5 seconds and release thespindle. The SENSOR STATUS LED will turnGREEN indicating proper operation.

Bypassing the SensorThe sensor may be bypassed by using thebuilt in bypass feature on the receiver. Tobypass the sensor, press the SENSOR BYPASSbutton on the receiver. The bypass status lightwill turn red when the sensor is bypassed.Pressing the SENSOR BYPASS button againwill re-enable the sensor and the sensorbypass light will go out.Setting the Transmitter Address atthe ReceiverNote: Units purchased as a kit will alreadyhave their communication address preset.No addressing is necessary, however, if thereceiver or transmitter is replaced you needto reset the address.Each transmitter is produced with a uniqueaddress. A receiver must learn this address towork with that transmitter. This step is onlynecessary if transmitters and receivers arepurchased separately.13

ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION (continued).1. Prior to applying power (yellow wires) tothe receiver, press and hold the bypassbutton on the receiver.2. While the bypass button is depressed,apply power to the receiver. The sensorstatus indicator light should light upyellow indicating that the receiver is readyto learn a new address.3. Press and hold the quick response buttonon the transmitter.4. Within 4 seconds, the receiver’s sensorstatus indicator light should turn red.The receiver has now learned the addressand it will be retained even in the event of apower outage.5. Release the button on the transmitter.The sensor status indicator light shouldturn green.14Battery LifeThe Wireless Rain-Clik transmitter isdesigned to operate up to ten years withit’s sealed, maintenance-free battery. Thetransmitter is available as a replacement part.(WRC-TR) Should you need to change thetransmitter, the receiver will have to learn thenew transmitter address.To check the status of the battery inthe transmitter:1. Press and hold the quick responsespindle at the top of the sensor.LED Light
