5.2.5 Activating the SLW Series On-Site Weather Sensor:
Verify the time and date are set and
the ZIP Code or Latitude is set on the
SmartLine® Controller before proceeding
with SLW Weather Sensor activation.
On the SLW Weather Sensor, press and
hold down the Rain Sense test tab in the
center of the rain sensor for 5 seconds.
On the SmartLine® controller, verify
that the antenna icon appears on the bottom line of the LED
display. (Note: The icon will flash for 5 minutes at the time of a
communication. The icon will be static between communication
events.) The antenna indicates communication has been
established. The SLW Weather Sensor provides rain and freeze
pause functions to prevent watering during periods of rain and
freezing weather. The rain override will pause watering after
a minimum of 1/8th inch of rainfall is received (the factory
setting of 1/8th inch can be changed incrementally up to 3/4
inch by sliding the rain sensor into the desired position). The
SLW Weather Sensor will also pause watering when the outside
temperature drops to 37 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees
Celsius). The Sensor LED will display RED during these rain
or freeze periods. 24VAC power to the valves is reconnected
when the temperature is again above 37 degrees F (1.5 degrees
Celsius). However, after a rain event, the SmartLine® controller
will continue to pause watering after the rain sensor has
disengaged, in order to prevent over-watering.
5.2.6 MODE Button:
Press the MODE button on the control panel to place the
SmartLine® controller in the SMART mode. A GREEN LED on the
SMART position will confirm that you have communicated with
the SLW Weather Sensor. If there is no SLW Weather Sensor
installed or ZIP Code
or Latitude or time/
date setting and at
least one zone with
a sprinkler type set, pressing the MODE button will flash the
SMART LED to RED and then return to the BASIC mode. When
this occurs, you can press and hold the MODE button to see
a scrolling message indicating the reason SMART mode is not
available.
