Connecting a Rain Sensor

(Optional)
A rain sensor is a remote device which can be connect-
ed directly to your ECXTRA to automatically interrupt
watering during rain.
A sensor control switch is provided to enable the sensor
operation to be turned On and Off as needed.
When the rain sensor absorbs rain water it automatically
signals the ECXTRA to suspend all watering operations.
The "No Watering" symbol
corner of the display until the sensor drys out and auto-
matically resets. The symbol will disappear and timer
operation will resume as programmed.

1. Route the two sensor wires from the device into the
timer housing through the access hole provided.
2. Remove the plastic piece from the Sensor terminal
connectors. Connect the two sensor wires in any order.
3. Set the Sensor Configuration Switch (5) to NC
(Normally Closed) or NO (Normally Open) operation
as required by the type of sensor connected.
Note: Refer to the instructions provided with the rain
sensor to determine NC or NC switch type and for
additional installation and operating information.
4. Set the Sensor Control Switch (6) as required: ENB
(enable) allows the rain sensor to interrupt watering;
DIS (disable) bypasses the rain sensor input.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the ENB switch position
with the NC switch position unless a Normally Closed
rain sensor is connected. Watering operation will be
suspended if this condition occurs.
