Introduction Adding a RainSensor or RainSensor + Freeze to your automatic sprinkler system is an effective means of conserving water and lowering your monthly water bill, while promoting a healthier lawn and garden. Designed for ease of installation, your sensor- controlled irrigation system will be up and running in minutes.
Installation Procedure v Adjust Rain Sensitivity: The sensitivity setting determines the amount of rainfall required to trigger the RainSensor and suspend automatic watering.

I f t h e co n n e c ti o n w ir e w i ll n o t re a c h th e t i me r , i t ca n b e ex t e n de d t o 10 0 f t (3 0 m ) us i n g 18 A W G (1 .
v Connect RainSensor Wiring: Route the RainSensor connection wire into the timer through the access hole in the base of the timer cabinet. Note: Avoid routing the wire over any sharp edges where damage to the wire insulation may occur. For best results, hide the wire as much as possible by tucking it under shingles and/or moldings.
• Remove all common wires from the common terminal(s) and join to one RainSensor wire lead using a twist-on wire connector. (Be sure to include the common wire from the pump start relay or master valve in this connection). Attach the remaining RainSensor wire lead to the valve common terminal.
RainSensor Operation v Automatic Operation When the RainSensor activates due to sufficient rainfall (or freezing conditions - model 53853 only), watering will be terminated until the RainSensor automati - cally resets.
