Introduction
The Irritrol Climate Logic
wireless weather sensor system
TM
transforms your automatic irrigation control system into
a high-efficiency, water resource-management center.
Compatible with remote-ready Irritrol and Toro controllers,
Climate Logic automatically regulates watering duration
corresponding to real-time weather conditions and specific
geographic and local weather profile information provided on
a region-specific Setup Card. In addition, integral rain and
freeze sensing further reduce wasteful, unnecessary irrigation
and icing conditions.
Your Climate Logic system consists of a self-contained,
Weather Sensor/Transmitter that continuously monitors
current air temperature, solar radiation and precipitation.
This data is transmitted at regular intervals throughout the
day to the Receiver Module; linked directly to your controller's
remote control port. Each day, Climate Logic calculates and
adjusts the programmed station run time duration to the
amount required for the next automatic watering cycle.
The Climate Logic system is designed for easy installation,
setup and use. To take full advantage of the features and
capabilities provided by the Climate Logic system, take a
moment to review the detailed information provided within
this guide.
To answer any questions you may have regarding the Climate
Logic system, or any Irritrol product, please contact an Irritrol
Customer Service representative at (U.S.) 1-800-634-8873 or
(E.U.) +39 0765 40191.
