Mounting
The weather station is designed to mount
on a post of 2" PVC pipe. However, any combination of pipe and fittings
can be used to tailor an installation. The enclosed "reducer" fitting has
two purposes: 1) It allows for the use of 1/2" PVC pipe for shorter mounts,
and 2) Screwed down onto surface (wood post or deck), it acts as a base
for the weather station to fit onto.
Important: For most accurate temperature
sensing, rotate the weather station so the thermostat portion points north.
Wiring
to 24 VAC Controllers
All
three sensors are electrically connected in a series, so only two wires
need to be used to connect to the irrigation controller. Use the green
and silver (clear insulation) wires to hook up to normally-closed logic
situations (See Figure 3).
Follow the wiring instructions in any
of the separate sensor manuals, or place the two wires on the controller's
"sensor input" screw terminals if available. For controllers with normally-open
sensor inputs (most Toro models), please consult factory.
Note: For extending wires, use wire
18AWG or heavier.
