Depending on local conditions, the Mini-Weather
Station can keep the irrigation system from starting or
continuing after rainfall quantities of
1" (3 mm, 6 mm, 13 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm).
Sets to Shut Down System from
12 to 35 mph Winds...
Adjusts to actuate at various wind speeds
A simple turn of the side adjustment knob on the
Mini-Weather Station allows the irrigation system to
shut down between wind speeds of 12 and 35 mph.
Wind speeds often vary according to ground height, so
for irrigation system control, the wind speed about 6
feet above the ground would be a good representative
height for the Mini-Weather Station placement.
Automatically Shuts Off Water at 37°F (3°C)...
Eliminates ice on landscapes, walkways,
and roadways
Accurate, epoxy sealed temperature-sensing element
automatically stops system water flow at near freez-
ing temperatures and resets system when temperatures
rises above the set point of 37°F (3°C) (+/- 2°F).
5-Year Warranty...
Hunter Industries backs up the products
A full five-year warranty by Hunter communicates to our
customers that the Mini-Weather Station stands up to the

Sensor Bypass Switch Box
Complete control over the system
The Bypass Switch Box for rain, wind or
freeze sensors is an easy way to give any
automatic controller bypass capabilities
for its remote sensors. During system
servicing or troubleshooting it is often
necessary to bypass any sensors, and for the
end user it provides an easy way to put their
irrigation system in a manual mode, inde-
pendent of sensor control. It mounts next to
the controller and, by simply moving the
switch, any sensor is bypassed.

Bypass Switch Box Installation
Instructions
Mounting
The box may be mounted quickly and easily by using
the adhesive tape on the back. Simply peel the liner off
and press the box to any smooth, clean and dry surface.
If desired, the box can be screwed to a surface by using
the two mounting holes located at the top and bottom
of the box.
Wiring
One wire of the
Bypass Switch Box
Rain, Wind
needs to be connected

along one leg of the
sensor anywhere
between the common
terminal on the con-
troller and the sensor.
The other wire of
the Bypass Switch
Box is connected
Fig. 1
along the second leg
of the sensor that leads to the solenoid valves (Fig. 1).
If possible, make the wire connec-
tions using the "T-Tap" connectors
as shown (Fig. 2). Simply lay the
wire in the channel and close down
the top half with pliers. No wire
stripping is required. Any wire size
between 20 and 14 AWG can be
inserted in the T-Tap.
