The EVO TM is comprised of two, fully pre-paired components, the Thrive Transmitter TM and Thrive Receiver TM . They provide up to 200 yards range of consistent and reliable two-way wireless communication and are compatible with most multi-wire irrigation controllers. We believe you’ll find this product easy-to-use and easy-to-install, all while providing reliable and consistent operation for years to come. Key Product Features The Thrive Smart System EVO TM : • Is comprised of a Thrive Transmitter TM and a Thrive Receiver TM that are pre-paired to the same radio frequency for ease of installation. The Thrive Transmitter TM receives power via a 24VAC, and is contained in a key-lock entry, weather-resistant enclosure. • The Thrive Receiver TM has several gaskets to maintain a waterproof case up to a depth of 1.2 meters and is IP67 rated. • The Receiver TM is powered by two, 9-volt lithium batteries located in a battery cassette making it easy to remove and replace batteries when needed. The Receiver will also operate on 2, 9-volt Alkali batteries, but with a much shorter service life. • Provides reliable and consistent wireless communication up to 200 yards. • Includes unique paired frequencies that eliminate interference when other Thrive EVO’s TM are used on the same or adjacent sites. • Manages up to four individual remote-control valves per Transmitter. If additional valves are needed, then another EVO TM is required. • Manages up to four valves with DC Latching solenoids at one time if the control system has this capability. • Displays real-time remaining battery life and signal strength on the Thrive Transmitter TM . • Has a built-in fail-safe to turn off any operating valves in the event that AC power is lost. • This is an FCC compliant product that does not requi…
