  • Page 7: Controller Configurations

    CONTROLLER CONFIGURATIONS This controller can operate four different iterations of ReWater's recycling irrigation systems, thus there are slightly different controller configurations available. Those iterations are:  CA Compliant Greywater (110v)  City of LA Compliant Greywater (110v and 220v)  Rain Harvesting (110v and 220v) ...

  • Page 8: General Information

    • How the sensor feature works OW THE BACKUP SYSTEM WORKS The Complete Control uses non-volatile memory to store watering programs. This type of memory prevents the watering program information from becoming lost in the event of a power failure.

  • Page 9: How The Electronic Circuit Breaker Works

    OW THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER WORKS The Complete Control is equipped with an electronic circuit breaker. If the controller detects a short circuit, the shorted station (valve) will be turned off automatically. The display will then flash "SHORT" and the shorted station number, or “RELAY,” “3-WAY,” “BW,” or “FW.”...

  • Page 10: How The Sensor Feature Works

    OW THE SENSOR FEATURE WORKS The Complete Control is equipped to operate with an optional rain sensing device, commonly called a "Rain Switch", to prevent automatic watering during rain . The rain switch is a simple device, typically installed on a roof overhang or stationary structure exposed to rainfall and full sun and shielded from irrigation spray.

  • Page 11: Programming The Controller

    ECYCLING ALVES This feature MUST be set up first -- The stations in the Complete Control must be divided into freshwater stations and recycling stations. The lower numbered stations are fresh water, the higher numbered stations are recycling. The station number you select here will be the first recycling station on your controller.

  • Page 12: What Is A Watering Program

    (always) be used. The Complete Control has four independent watering programs for your use. Separate programs are usually used to group stations with similar watering requirements. For example, you might use one program to water lawns in full sun every day.
  • Page 13 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER Note that we have 40 minutes total watering time per cycle in Program A. If we had set the next start time at 2:30 a.m., the start time would have been delayed until 2:40 a.m., enabling the first cycle to finish as programmed.

  • Page 14: Watering Schedule Form ( Sample ) Setting

    PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER ATERING SCHEDULE FORM SAMPLE For your convenience, a Watering Schedule Form, with a Quick Reference Card on the backside, is provided. Use the form to plan and record your automatic watering activities. Use the quick reference instructions when minor programming changes are required. Keep the card with the controller by attaching it to the inside front door.

  • Page 15: The Current Tim E A Nd Da Te

    PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER ETTING THE CURRENT TIME AND DATE Before you can program the controller for automatic watering, you must set the controller clock to the current time and date. This controller features a 365-day calendar with automatic leap year compensation. Once the date is set, the controller keeps track of the date and enables trouble-free, odd/even day of the month watering required in some locations.

    3. Press the ON(+) or OFF(-) button to turn the recycling stations on or off. ELECTING RECYCLING VALVE DOSING DURATIONS The Complete Control distributes water to recycling stations in uniform “doses”, no matter the programmed station time, until all recycling program stations are satisfied. “Dosing” insures that...

  • Page 17: Setting The Backwash Interval

    PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER ETTING THE BACKWASH INTERVAL The backwash interval setting is used to adjust how often the Complete Control backwashes the sand filter of trapped debris. The Complete Control automatically backwashes that filter by counting the accumulated recycled irrigation hours. When that count equals the backwash interval setting, it performs a backwash cycle (default at midnight).

  • Page 18: Setting Program Start Times

    5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each program as necessary. Note: The Complete Control will operate one watering cycle in a program at a time. If a start time occurs while a watering cycle is in progress, the start time will be delayed until the previous cycle is finished (this is called "start time stacking").
  • Page 19 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER • Odd Days or Even Days To select every odd or even number calendar day, use this option. Because the 31st and the 1st are both odd number days, the 31st is automatically removed from the schedule . This watering option can be combined with Days of the Week to form a more compl ex watering schedule.

  • Page 21: Operating The Controller

    During station operation, the adjusted run duration will be displayed. ANUAL PERATIONS Manual operation allows you to run individual stations or start automatic watering programs as needed immediately. The Complete Control provides separate dial positions for each type of operation: Single Station and Program Cycle. INGLE TATION This option enables individual stations to be operated for an untimed duration (turned On/Off) or operated for a selectable duration from one minute to 10 hours.
  • Page 22 OPERATING THE CONTROLLER To set Single Station feature, follow the steps below: 1. Turn the function dial to Single Station position. 2. Select Program A, B, C or D with the Program switch. 3. Use one of the following options to operate the station: For untimed operation: A.
  • Page 23 OPERATING THE CONTROLLER Note: You may advance through the stations by pressing the NEXT key for the next station. To terminate operation at any time, press the OFF button. 5. After all manual Program Cycle commands have been entered, return the function dial to the Run position.

  • Page 25 DO NOT mount the controller where it will be exposed to direct spray from a sprinkler system. NOTE: If your system has a 220v pump, it will need a RWJB1 or RWJB2 pump relay junction box, which comes pre-connected to your Complete Control and takes up almost twice the horizontal space as the Complete Control alone.
  • Page 26 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES OUNTING THE ONTROLLER 1. Center the mounting template (supplied) on the wall at about eye level allowing a minimum of 14" (35.6cm) to the left of the template for cabinet door clearance. Using a small center punch or nail, mark the wall at the three mounting hole locations. Note: When installing the controller on a plasterboard or masonry wall, use the appropriate type screw anchors to prevent the mounting screws from stripping.
  • Page 27 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ONNECTING THE ALVE IRING 1. Use the lower numbered screw terminals for the freshwater sprinklers and surface drip irrigation valves (see page 8). 2. Use the higher numbered screw terminals for the recycling valves. 3. Caution: All wiring splices must be waterproofed to prevent short circuits and corrosion. 4.

  • Page 33 ONNECTING THE UPPLEMENTAL WATER VALVE The Complete Control is used on all four iterations of ReWater’s recycling irrigation systems. All iterations of ReWater's systems use supplemental water for backwashing the sand filter and for irrigation. However, the supplemental water valve on some iterations are configured differently depending on applicable codes.
