EASY RAIN™

Single-Valve Battery-Operated Controller

Primary Applications:

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.
• Choice of 6 calendars (cycles) for scheduling flexibility.
• Choice of 7 run times for diverse watering requirements.
• Soak time (4 hours) between the double cycles (2X) for special terrain and applications.
• Easy-to-use manual start/stop function.
• Standby function prevents unnecessary irrigation during rainy weather.
• Resin-encased electronic components, silicone-filled cavities, and waterproof battery compartment allow operation even in flooded valve boxes.
• Incorporates TBOS (formerly UNIK™) technology for field-proven reliability.
• Handy “Cycle Indicator” reminds you of the calendar/cycle selected in the controller’s program
