ting the wire or having the correct mounting brackets.
If longer wire runs are needed for installation, no
problem! Just attach the desired length of wire ex-
tension to the attached wire with a waterproof wire
connector utilizing the appropriate gauge wire per the
following table:
If the extension needed is:
25-50 feet
use: 20 gauge
50-100 feet
use: 18 gauge
100 feet or more
use: 16 gauge
5-Year Warranty...
Hunter Industries backs up its products
A full five-year warranty by Hunter communicates to
our customers that the Rain-Clik™ is a rain sensor that
stands up to the environment. The end-user can be as-
sured of a quality product with a guarantee of depend-
able operation.
Bypassing the Rain-Clik...
System maintenance made easier
The Hunter ICC, Pro-C and SRC controllers are
equipped with a built-in sensor bypass feature. The by-
pass feature allows the user to override the operation of
the Rain-Clik for any reason. An example of the need
to override the sensor would be to manually run a valve
to check system operation immediately after a rain-
storm. In the non-bypass mode the rain sensor would
prevent the system from running in a manual or auto-
matic mode. For those controllers not equipped with
this convenient feature, Hunter manufactures a Bypass
Switch Box (Model-BPSW), which mounts next to the
controller. More information on the BPSW is available
in the Weather Sensor Options of this Training Manual,
located on page 24.

already installed or will be part of the system, the
Rain-Clik can be wired in series with the other sensors
so either or both devices can control the circuit.
Rain-Clik
Installs Simply and Easily...
No adjustments necessary
There are two versions of Rain-Clik: one that is wired
for "normally closed" sensor terminals (Rain-Clik)
and the other that is wired for "normally open" sensor
terminals (Rain-Clik-NO). Each of these units has 25
feet of wire pre-attached directly to the unit providing
for efficient installation.
Both of these Rain-Clik models are installed directly
to a controllerʼs sensor terminal post, as provided on
all Hunter controllers. For those controllers that do not
have a sensor terminal post, the installer can interrupt
the common wire circuit between the zone valves and
the controller with the provided two-conductor wire
that is attached to the sensor. If multiple common wires
are used in the system, the Rain-Clik must be tied in to
the terminus of all the common wires, then connected
to the controller terminal strip common post.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Follow these simple checks first before assuming the
unit is bad and replacing it.
System will not come on at all:
A. First, check to see that the Rain-Clik discs are dry
and the switch "clicks" on and off freely by pressing
the top of the spindle.
B. Next, look for breaks in the wire leading to the
Rain-Clik and check all wire junctions.
