Toro EC-XTRA Landscape Timer, 6-Zone (53794) Installation Guide

A rain sensor is a remote sensing device that can be 

connected directly to your ECXTRA to interrupt auto-

matic watering operation during rain.
A sensor bypass switch is provided to enable the sensor 

operation to be turned On and Off as needed.
When the rain sensor detects rain, it signals the ECXTRA 

to suspend all watering operations. The “No Watering” 

symbol

will appear in the upper right corner of the dis-

play until the sensor drys out and automatically resets. 

The   symbol will then disappear and timer operation 

will resume as programmed. 

1.  Route the two sensor wires from the device into the 

timer housing through the access hole provided.

2.  Remove the plastic piece from the Sensor terminal  

connectors. Connect the two sensor wires in any order.

3.  Set the Sensor Configuration Switch (6) to NC  

(Normally Closed) or NO (Normally Open) operation 

as required by the type of sensor connected. 

  Note: Refer to the instructions provided with the rain 

sensor to determine NO or NC switch type and for 

additional installation and operating information.

4.  Set the Sensor Bypass Switch (5) as required: ENB 

(enable) allows the rain sensor to interrupt watering; 

 (disable) bypasses the rain sensor input. 

  IMPORTANT: Do not use the ENB switch position 

with the NC switch position unless a Normally Closed 

rain sensor is connected. Watering operation will be 

suspended if this condition occurs.
