** DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS **
There are two main components,
the Transmitter and the Receiver.
The Transmitter is installed out-
doors where it is exposed to all
rainfall. The Receiver is installed
in a weatherproof location adjacent
to the sprinkler valve controller.
Install the Receiver first, at a loca-
tion in close proximity to the irri-
gation controller. Extend the An-
tenna straight up. (See Fig. 2).
WIRING THE RECEIVER: (TWO STEPS INVOLVED)
There are two steps involved:
Step 1: Attach the control wires
Step 2: Attach the low voltage power wires
Step 1. Control Wires (Disconnect power to the Controller):
The Receiver control wires (White, Brown, and Green) are used to inter-
rupt the common wire of the valves or they can be hooked up directly to
the sensor input of the controller itself, if present.
