  • Page 3: General Features

    General features 1. GENERAL FEATURES Rain 060 is designed to measure the speed of the trolley retraction, calculate the duration or the time of irrigation after having measured the metres of unrolled pipe. Rain 060 is composed by a control unit with a 10-key keypad and a back-lighted 8-large-character display. Rain 060 works at 12V DC power (usually connected to a battery).

    Operating features 2. OPERATING FEATURES Rain 060 can operate using both the metric system and the in/ft system. 0 / 1 . SWITCH ON/OFF START IRRIGATION START Unrolled pipe METRES IRRIGATION TIME SPEED 2.1. Keys functions Rain 160 is equipped with a 10-key keypad enabling the use of the device. Except for the ON/OFF key all other keys serve several functions depending on the intensity of the pressure exerted: SHORT, LONG and CONTINUOUS.
  • Page 5 Operating features METRES unrolled pipe key - SHORT pressure Displays the amount of metres of unrolled pipe. - LONG pressure Enables programming the metres of unrolled pipe (the symbol * on the left side of the display shows the beginning of the programming process).
  • Page 6 Operating features SPEED key - - SHORT pressure Before the irrigation phase (unrolling) displays the programmed SPEED expressed in metres/hour (m/h). During irrigation displays the instantaneous speed (im/h). In SPEED programming mode, single m/h decrease. In METRES unrolled pipe programming mode, single metre decrease. In IRRIGATION TIME programming mode, single minute time decrease.

    Operating features 2.2. Regulation of display’s contrast To facilitate the adjustment of the contrast, it was added a direct control from the keyboard. To increase the contrast, keep contemporarily pressed for some seconds these two keys: SPEED key + TIME IRRIGATION key To decrease the contrast, keep contemporarily pressed for some seconds the two keys: TIME IRRIGATION key SPEED key -...

    Programming 2.3. Programming To start programming Rain 060 press the key of the feature to be programmed for at least one second until the symbol * appears: it enables programming the desired feature using the corresponding + and – keys. 2.3.1.
  • Page 9: Irrigation Cycle

    Irrigation cycle 3. IRRIGATION CYCLE For a correct irrigation procedure, respect the following phase sequence: PHASE DESCRIPTION - Switch on the control unit - Unroll the pipe. Metres of unrolled pipe are displayed. - Program the rewinding speed as desired. - Start irrigation cycle pressing the START key.

    Irrigation cycle Press another key to confirm and hh:mm] - Backlighting on pass to another feature (e.g. irrigation TIME key _h_), or wait [<-m 352] - Backlighting off 8 secs to go back to irrigation frame. NOTES: 3. In programming mode, if no key is pressed for 8 seconds, the display goes back to the irrigation frame and the last displayed datum is confirmed.

  • Page 12: End Of Irrigation Cycle

    Irrigation cycle 3.6. End of Irrigation Cycle Rain 060 can be programmed to stop winding the pipe in case the winding is set up to stop ( m/h = 0) when the metres are lower than the programmed parameter (default = 10m), after a while it displays [ <- m .
  • Page 13: Test Procedure

    Test procedure 4. TEST PROCEDURE The test procedure allows to perform tests on the gear motors connected to Rain 060, on the battery voltage, on the relay, on the sensors, and other possible compatible connections. To enter this procedure you need to press simultaneously the keys METRES _m_ and IRRIGATION TIME _h_ at any time while the equipment is on.

    Connections 5. CONNECTIONS There are the following connectors used for connecting external peripheral devices: 2-pin screw connecting terminal for 12 V DC (Red=+, Black=-) 3-pin Seal-type connector for inductive speed sensor IN. It is also possible to connect a reed-type magnetic sensor (Brown=+12V;...
