The Easy Rain™ battery-operated
single-valve irrigation controller is a professional system
designed to automate irrigation
on a site where no AC power is available. The quick-installation
and easy-to-use design make the Easy Rain the perfect choice
for watering isolated sites, AC-restricted or wireless areas,
drip zones and greenhouses, and for repairs, testing, and
provisional operation of AC-powered irrigation systems during
power interruption.
Features and Benefits:
Operates with any top-grade 9V alkaline battery for applications
with no AC power supply. (Duracell™, Energizer™,
etc.)
Factory pre-wired with a DC latching solenoid in a plastic
adapter that hand-screws onto most Rain Bird valves for
quick and easy out-of-the box installation.
Program module mounts directly on solenoid adapter for
easy installation.
Pre-wired cable, over 20 inches (50,8 cm) long, allows
programming outside of valve box.
One programming knob to access all functions for programming
ease.
