The connector block is designed for use with most common irrigation systems, including Rain Bird, Rain Master,
and Toro. For the industrial controllers used in agriculture and turf management, it provides electronic pulses for
wind, rain, and evapotranspiration (ET, requires a solar radiation sensor). All users can use the alarm settings in the
Vantage Pro or Pro2 console or Weather Envoy to inhibit the irrigation cycle based on weather conditions. The device
will inhibit the irrigation cycle if ANY of the alarms are active.

In addition to the requirements for WeatherLink, the Irrigation capability has the following additional hardware
requirements.
requirements.
• Computer running 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista with Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework. Requires at least
3 MB of RAM and 512 KB of hard disk space.
• Industrial Irrigation Controller with inputs for wind, rain, and/or ET; or a Residential Controller with a
Common or a Rain Sensor connection.
• 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.
• 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:
An industrial controller can also be connected to the Alarm Output on the irrigation data logger if you want the irrigation system to also be suspended
due to cold temperatures or other variables you set.
due to cold temperatures or other variables you set.
Note:
A residential controller may be connected in series to both the ET and Alarm outputs on the Irrigation data logger if you want the irrigation system to
also be suspended due to high winds or cold temperatures in addition to the Rain-ET balance.

Caution:
The Alarm Output Module is not suitable for any use in which the health or safety of any person or the value or protection
of valuable property is dependent on the operation of the streaming data logger.
