Installing the Leaf Wetness Sensor
Evaluate the proposed sensor location as compared to the cable length
supplied. In order to obtain an accurate reading, mount the Leaf Wetness
Sensor in an exposed area.
Once the Leaf Wetness Sensor has been mounted, route the cable back
to the Control Module. The leaf wetness sensor is supplied with a
standard 50-foot cable. The cable provided is a 22 gauge, 2 conductor
shielded cable with a ground drain lead. If additional cable is required, a
good splice and waterproof insulation are essential; merely twisting the
respective wires together is not adequate.
Once the Leaf Wetness Sensor has been placed, route the cable back to
the Control Module.
Using a small Straight Slot screwdriver, attach the wires from the end of
the cable to the Leaf Wetness terminal posts screws as follows:
Red Wire - Terminal #19
Bare Wire - Terminal #20
Black Wire - Terminal #21
Installing the Solar Radiation Sensor
Evaluate the proposed sensor location as compared to the cable length
supplied. The solar radiation sensor should be installed in an area that
receives full sunlight away from any object that can create a shadow
over the sensor. Please be aware that the sun position changes from
season to season.
The sensor should be mounted on a leveled surface for accurate
readings.
Once the solar radiation sensor is mounted, route the cable to the
Control Module. It may be convenient to combine this step with routing of
other sensors.
Using a small straight screwdriver, attach the wires from the end of the
cable to Channel X1 terminal block in the Multi-Purpose Channels area
as follows:
No Connection - Terminal #22
Bare and Red Wire - Terminal #23
Black Wire - Terminal #24
