connection. Irrigation wire as appropriate to your Irrigation

Controller

• Solar Radiation Sensor, P/N 6450 to use evapotranspiration (ET) to

control the irrigation cycle. In addition to the ET pulse output, the

Rain – ET algorithm uses this information. More information is

provided below.

• Small Slotted Screwdriver

• Relays: You may need to obtain your own relays in order to switch

equipment at voltages higher than 28 Volts or power levels above 10

Watts.

Note 1: Your Residential Irrigation Controller may be connected in series to

both the ET and Alarm inputs on the Irrigation datalogger if you wish the

Irrigation system to also be suspended due to, say, high winds or cold

temperatures, for example, in addition to the Rain/ET balance.

Note 2: Due to its normal operation, this product will draw more current

from the Vantage Pro™ Console and Weather Envoy™ than in typical use.

Davis recommends you use the power adapter provided with your product if

you are concerned about battery life.
