15. CONNECTING A RAIN SENSOR
Most “normally closed” rain or soil moisture sensors can be connected to the
ECO 1

controller. 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.
To connect the sensor to the controller, please follow these steps:
1. Cut the yellow wire loop that exits the controller in the middle of the loop.
2. Strip approximately 1/2 in. of insulation from the end of each wire.
3. Splice one yellow wire to each of the wires coming from the sensor.
