Hunter Wireless Rain-Clik Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION
The Wireless Rain-Clik™ acts as a switch to break the circuit to the solenoid
valves of the irrigation system when it has rained. This allows the timer to
advance as scheduled, but keeps the valves from opening the water flow. Once
the Wireless Rain-Clik has dried sufficiently, the switch closes again to allow for
normal operation.
The Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik includes a freeze sensor that is designed to
keep the system from operating at or below 3°C (37°F). At temperatures above
3°C, it will close the circuit for normal sprinkler operation.
MOUNTING
Standard Mounting:
Using the screws provided with in the package, mount the Wireless Rain-Clik
on any surface where it will be exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in
the path of sprinkler spray. The switch housing portion must be upright (as
pictured), but the swivel-bracket can be moved for mounting on any angles
surface. Loosen the locknut and screw before swiveling the bracket, and then
re-tighten.
Gutter Mount (SGM Sold Separately):
The sensor gutter mount can be purchased as an optional accessory for your
Wireless Rain-Clik (order p/n SGM). The SGM allows the Wireless Rain-Clik to
be mounted directly to the side of a gutter. To install your Wireless Rain-Clik on
a gutter, Remove the screw, nut, and standard metal extension arm supplied
with the Wireless Rain-Clik, and reinstall the screw and gutter mount. Position
the gutter mount on the edge of the gutter and twist the thumbscrew to secure
it in place.
Helpful Hints for Mounting:
A. Choose a location
such as on the side of
a building or post. The
closer the Wireless
Rain-Clik is to the
controller, the better
reception will be.
Standard
DO NOT EXCEED Mount
300 feet.
B. Correct placement
of the Wireless Rain/
Freeze-Clik model is
important for accurate
temperature sensing.
The best location
would be out of direct
sunlight.
C. As described in the
"Operation" section
of this manual, "reset
rate" refers to the
amount of time it takes
Gutter
the Wireless Rain-Clik Mount
(Optional)
to dry out sufficiently
for the sprinkler
system to be allowed
to come back on. The
mounting location will
affect this rate and
should be taken into
consideration should
extreme conditions
exist. For example,
mounting the Wireless
Rain-Clik on a very
sunny, southern end
of a building may
cause the Wireless Rain-Clik to dry out sooner than desired. Similarly,
mounting on the northern end of a building with constant shade may keep
the Wireless Rain-Clik from drying soon enough.
Transmitters/Sensor
• Nothing to set up with this unit after installation
• The unit can be tested stand-alone as follows: press and hold the post on
the quick response section. Within 3 seconds of pressing and holding this
post down, the LED
Manually depress the spindle at
protruding from the
the top of the Wireless Rain-Clik
potting should blink
once. Release the
post, within 3 seconds
the LED should blink
once again. (Figure 1)
Receiver
• Using the hardware
included, mount the
receiver to the wall
(use included wall
anchors if needed).
Make sure to put the

rubber cover/gasket
under the unit when attaching it in an outdoor location.
WIRING TO YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM
WARNING! This unit is designed to be installed in conjunction with 24VAC
circuits only. Do not use with 110 or 220VAC circuits.
Receiver Installation,
SRC Controller:
(See Figure 2)
1. Attach the two yellow
wires to the AC terminals
of the SRC (polarity does
not matter).
2. Attach the blue wire to the
RS terminal.
3. Attach the white wire to
the "C" terminal.
4. Attach the valve common
wire to the RS terminal.
Receiver Installation,
Pro-C, ICC, and EC
Controllers: (See Figure 3)
1. Attach the two yellow
wires to the AC terminals
of the controller (polarity
does not matter).
2. Attach the blue wire to
one SEN terminal and
the white wire to the
other SEN terminal of the
controller.
Receiver Installation, Other
Controllers:
A. Normally Closed
Sensor Applications
(See Figure 4)
1. Attach the two yellow
wires to the AC terminals
of the controllers (polarity
does not matter).
2. To attach the receiver
to this type of controller,
attach the blue wire and
the white wire to the
sensor terminals of the
controller, or in-line with
the valve common.
B. Normally Open Sensor
Applications
1. A few controllers on the
market require a normally
open rain sensor. To
attach the receiver to
this type of controller,
attach the blue wire and
the orange wire to the
controller's sensor input.
