The Rain Bird Wireless Rotor This unique rotor has an enclosed sealed-lead rechargeable battery. The battery level is maintained by the solar panel at the top of the rotor case. The battery is positioned in the enclosed compartment next to the communication board. Page 3 MAINTENANCE The Wireless EAGLE 500/700 series Rotor is an exclusive Closed-Case design. All of the superior characteristics of the EAGLE rotor are featured in this product, including the Rain Bird standard top- serviceable features. For performance data and maintenance information, please refer to the EAGLE Series Rotor catalog. Special screws have been used to assist in the prevention of theft and to maintain the integrity of the sealed battery/communication board. Please contact Rain Bird for assistance when the battery needs servicing or any troubleshooting is required. LED Diagnostics The Rotor enters a diagnostics mode following a successful configuration or by receiving a specific command from the Handheld Device.

Page 5 Home – Main MenuKeypad Entering the Rotor ID To configure and control the Wireless Rotors, a logical address must be assigned to the rotor in the Handheld. This will be the same identification used in the Central Control Software. The Rotor ID consists of the hole #, the area handle, and the station. Both the hole # and the station entries are configured for two-digits. For example, hole #3 – rough - station 11 would be entered as 03311 as shown below: Page 4 THE WIRELESS HANDHELD DEVICE The Wireless Handheld Device provides operating capability in the field, performing a number of functions without having to send a page through the central control computer. Prior to being able to communicate with a Wireless Rotor using the Central Control, the Rotor must be configured With the Handheld Device. The Handheld Device is powered by two AA Batteries. To preserve the life of the batteries, several power management features have been implemented. If the Handheld Device remains idle for longer than 10 minutes, the unit will be shut off automatically. Additionally, the backlight feature of the LCD Display screen will only remain active for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the LCD Display screen will return to its normal mode of operation. To turn the Handheld Device on, momentarily press the F4 Function key. (Handheld may take up to 30 seconds to show the main menu.) To turn the Handheld Device off, momentarily press the F4 Function key from the Main Menu. Handheld Menu Structure Following is a graphical representation of the Menu Structure for the Handheld Device: Menu – Sub-Menu Off Send Time Home 1 2 2F4 F3 F2 F1 Enter Rotor ID Enter Rotor ID F4 F3 F2 F1 1 3 4 5 BLIT Time Menu Enter Config Data Setup Time Clear Rotor Database TableChg RotorOps PWR Ctrl Diag Unit Conf Ctrl MAIN MENU F1 – Menu F2 – Time (Shows current time/date set in the handheld) F3 – BLIT (Backlight) F4 – OFF F1 – Ctrl (Control) F2 – Conf (Configure) F3 – Unit F4 – Home (Returns to the main menu) 1.Enter “03”on the keypad for the hole #. 2.Once the hole number is entered, the numerical equivalent for each of the area handles will be displayed. Select the corresponding number on the keypad. 3.To complete, input the station number “11”and then press <enter> on the keypad Page 7 5. The Handheld is now ready to configure the Rotor. Once the “Activate Rotor With Magnet”screen appears, activate the rotor by passing a magnet across the LED display area of the Solar Panel. The magnet should pass over the LED once with the surface of the magnet slightly brushing along the top of the solar panel. Observe the flashing of the LED on the Solar Panel. Once the LED begins to flash approximately once every second, press the Prog <F3> key on the Handheld. After approximately 30 seconds, the solenoid should click twice to indicate that the Rotor has been successfully configured. 6. By default, the handheld will prompt for the next Rotor ID to be configured. To enter another Rotor ID, return to step 1 of this section. If finished, press the Home <F4> to return to the main menu. Page 6 CONFIGURING A ROTOR Prior to being able to perform any of the functions for Controlling a Rotor,the Rotor configuration data must be input into the Handheld and then transferred into the Rotor with the use of a magn…

Also, based on the results of the enclosed data, I have concluded that the equipment tested meets or exceeds the requirements of the Rules and Regulations governing this application. Measurement Repeatability Information The test data presented in this report has been acquired using the guidelines set forth in FCC Part 15 Subpart C (CFR 47, 15.201 – 15.209 and 15.231). The test results presented in this document are valid only for the equipment identified herein under the test conditions described. Repeatability of these test results will only be achieved with identical measurement conditions. These conditions include: The same test distance, EUT Height, Measurement Site Characteristics, and the same EUT System Components. The system must have the same Interconnecting Cables arranged in identical placement to that in the test set-up, with the system and/or EUT functioning in the identical mode of operation (i.e. software and so on) as on the date of the test. Any deviation from the test conditions and the environment on the date of the test may result in measurement repeatability difficulties. All changes made to the EUT during the course of testing as identified in this test report must be incorporated into the EUT or identical models to ensure compliance with the FCC regulations. C. L.
