The RME SENTAR II Controller has the ability to affect irrigation based on an external rain sensor or remote switch. This feature can be programmed on an individual program basis so that one or more programs will cease watering as long as the rain sensor is active.

The external sensor or switch must be of the type which is Closed when there is no rain detected, and opens when rain is detected or it is desired to suspend irrigation.

Most commercial rain sensors are of this type. See the wiring instructions in the

MOUNTING and INSTALLATION section.

EXAMPLE: You have program 4 set up to operate your outdoor lighting, however you also have a rain sensor connected to your RME SENTAR II.

PROGRAM

Press: QUIT The controller will return to automatic mode.

Once programmed in the above manner, the designated program(s) will not turn on any stations unless the rain sensor terminals labeled pins 1 & 2 are shorted together, either by an external switch or the appropriate rain sensor.

If any program is set up to be sensitive to the rain sensor then the status of the rain sensor can be determined by pressing the REVIEW key repeatedly or holding it down until the display shows the word SNSR- followed by WET or DRY. If Dry, the controlled program(s) will operate normally. If Wet, no irrigation will take place on those program(s). Additionally, when a program is scheduled to operate, an asterisk will appear in the leftmost location of the display. If the external sensor has detected rain, or the external switch is Open.

Note: The external sensor is independent of the Rain Switch on the front of the controller. Leave the switch in the Automatic Watering position.
