This Orbit ® Sensor provides conservation, convenience, and flexibility to your fully automatic watering system. Never again will you see your sprinklers running on a rainy day. Now, after a set amount of rain has fallen, the sensor will send a wireless signal to the receiver and prevent the timer from watering. The added freeze sensor will provide peace of mind (when temperatures drops below 37°F (3°C) by interrupting your sprinklers and reduce the hazards of standing water freezing on your driveway, sidewalks, and patios. Please read this manual completely before you install and use the sensor. A few of the notable design features include: RF Communication RF (Radio Frequency) technology eliminates unsightly wires and simplifies mounting. Battery Power The Rain/Freeze sensor is powered by 2 replaceable 3V lithium batteries (models 57071, 57271, 27681) or by a solar cell and a rechargeable battery pack (models 57070, 57270, 27680). (See figure 1) SECTION 1 Introduction WTM230900 57071-24 rA.qxd 4/11/03 8:03 PM Page 2 1. Manual Test Stem Pushing downward on stem tests transmitter communication with the receiver. 2. Rain Fall Adjustment Cap– Range adjustable from 1/8" to 1" (3mm to 25mm). This setting will prevent watering when rainfall reaches the setting. 3. Vent Ring An adjustable ring designed to control the rain delay duration. 4. Communication Antenna Transmits a wireless signal (up to 200’) to the Rain/Freeze receiver. 5. Mounting Brackets Attach to gutter or flat surface 5 ENGLISH 4 Feature Control Switch Located on the bottom of the transmitter, the 3 position control switch allows you to select Rain Sensor, Rain/Freeze Sensor and Sensor Off (See figure 2).

(See figure 4) 6. Communication Antenna Receives Wireless signal from the Rain/Freeze sensor. 7.Manual Override Button Functions in 2 ways: 1. Stop timer from watering 2. Allow watering when Rain/Freeze sensor is active -See Manual override (Section 4) for additional detail 8. Sensor Override LED Indicates when Manual Override is on (see Manual Override above). 9. Active Sensor LED Indicates when the rain/freeze sensor is overriding the sprinkler timer. 10. Low Battery LED Indicates when battery needs to be replaced. (Only applicable to models 57071, 57271 and 27681) 6 7 8 9 10 SECTION 2 Installation Instructions Mounting the Receiver 1. Select a Location within 6” adjacent to your sprinkler timer (receiver may be located indoor or outdoor). 2. Mount rain/freeze receiver (antenna side up) using screws provided. 3. Extend and straighten the antenna upward. Wiring the Receiver to Timer Important: This sensor is designed for 24 Volt Irrigation Timers only do not connect the receiver to 120/240 VAC. All wiring must conform to applicable local codes. Disconnect power to the sprinkler timer (unplug timer, turn off the appropriate circuit breaker or remove fuse) before attempting to connect the rain sensor receiver. The two most common wiring situations are detailed below. The green “normal open” wire is not used in most installations.For non-standard wiring situations, please contact our customer support hot-line. 24-Volt Solenoid Valves Only (No booster pump). 1. Remove wire terminal cover from timer WTM230900 57071-24 rA.qxd 4/11/03 8:03 PM Page 6 9 ENGLISH 8 2. Check your timer for pre-installed sensor terminals. If the timer does not have sensor terminals, proceed to step 3. If it does, take the wire from rain/freeze receiver and connect the white (common) wire to one sensor terminal and the yellow (normal closed) wire to the other. (see figure 5) Skip to step 5. 3. Disconnect the common valve wire from the timer, and attach it …
