Assigning A Common Sensor

The system supports the concept of a “Common Sensor” which is designed to ensure the system operates properly even when the wireless

signal from a distant sensor is lost. This can be due to a dead battery, temporary interference or reduced range due to heavy rain. With a

common sensor assigned, the system will use the data from the Common sensor in the system as a fail-safe until connectivity to the lost

sensor is regained. As long as the primary sensor for a zone can be heard, the common sensor data is ignored.

COMMON POSITION

ZONE POSITION

1. Only one sensor can be assigned as a common sensor at a time.

2. Choose a sensor that is nearest to the base station with a strong

wireless signal and a zone that is drier than average.

3. When pairing this sensor, navigate to the common position

nearest “Zones:” Press [Select] and rotate the

wheel until “C” is shown. Press [Select].

4. Rotate the wheel to the zone position you wish to assign the sensor to control

and press [Select].

Rotate the wheel to reveal the zone number and press [select].

5. Navigate to [S] to save this setting.

6. If you assign another sensor as the Common, it will automatically remove the

Common setting from the

previously assigned sensor but maintain any zone assignments for that sensor.
