ABOUT THE LEIT LINK REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET
Thank you for purchasing DIG’s LEIT Link Remote Control Handset. This manual is designed to help
you get the LEIT Link handset up and running quickly. This manual will describe all you need to
know about how to use the LEIT Link handset. After you read this manual and have familiarized
yourself with the basic functionality of this device, you can use this manual as reference for less
common tasks in the future.
Models Available
• LEIT Link®Master™operates 99 groups of controllers with up to 99 controllers per each group
• LEIT Link®Multi-Pro™operates 99 controllers in one group
The LEIT Link Remote Control Handset is a 2-way radio communication device that operates in
the ISM band 902-928 MHz (868/869 Europe). The LEIT Link is a practical solution to field
communications and the management of any LEIT XRC controller in remote or hard to reach
sites.
Using the LEIT Link Remote Control Handset one can review status reports, modify program
settings, temporarily interrupt a running program to do a manual run, test a valve or skip to the next
valve mode. The current running program and current valve open information is provided when
activated. In Check Status Mode the handset also can review time, date, budget, sensor activation
(if rain sensor is active), and solenoid integrity. In Uplink History one can review the hourly usage of
each valve for all months and annual usage. Manual Run usage per month is also provided. All of
these features can be accessed from a distance of up to 800 feet line of site.
The handset can request or send information and commands to a particular controller. It will also
receive confirmation for the information sent or requested.
IMPORTANT: The LEIT XRC requires greater energy for radio communication than is used for
operation of the controller alone. In order to retain sufficient energy to maintain valve control,
the radio on the controller will automatically turn off in low light conditions.
The LEIT XRC controller requires daily exposure to light levels at a minimum of 15.000 to 20.000
lux, which is equivalent to daylight around 9 AM-10 AM on a cloudy day. On very cloudy days
the controller requires more time to charge up and operate with the radio. To maximize the
energy available the XRC controller should be installed in an open, un-shaded area.

SETTING UP THE LEIT LINK HANDSET AND LEIT XRC CONTROLLER
IMPORTANT: In order to establish 2-way communication between the LEIT Link handset and the
LEIT XRC controllers, a simple set up process using Radio Setup in both units must be completed.
1. Settings in Radio Setup on the LEIT XRC should be changed from Local Mode to Remote Mode.
2. Controller ID addresses and Group Number addresses should be assigned to each controller
and handset in the system.
3. The radio-receiving module within the controller is automatically turned off at night to conserve
power. The start and stop times are selectable, the default is 7 AM to 5 PM.
4. The same Client Code Number must be assigned to all units, handsets and controllers. In
addition, a descriptive Controller Address can be assigned with up to 14 characters to uniquely
identify each location.
Note: No 2 handsets or controllers in the same group number can have the same ID number.
IMPORTANT: Communication between the LEIT Link and the LEIT XRC controllers is
automatically limited to daylight hours when there is sufficient light energy (un-shaded
daylight). Bright light will enable the radio to operate automatically, overriding the start/stop
times in Radio Setup.
COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE PROTOCOL:
Local Mode: The LEIT XRC controller is not listening to a signal from the LEIT Link Remote Control
Handset. (Set in controller Radio Setup.)
Remote Mode: Allows the LEIT XRC controller to scan for a signal from the LEIT Link Remote
Control Handset. (Set in controller Radio Setup.)
Client Code Number: Allows a user to have a unique identity code for their LEIT XRC controllers and
LEIT Link handset. This is a security feature, which locks out unauthorized users. This is set as a
description (AAAAA01_ZZZZZ99). All units should have the same description. (This code is set in the
handset and in the controller during Radio Setup.)
ID Address: Used as an individual address for a single controller and handset within a group of
controllers. (This ID is set in the handset and in the controller Radio Setup.)
Group Number: Allows for a group of controllers to be isolated from another group. (This number is
set in the handset and in the controller Radio Setup.) (MULTI-PRO handsets will communicate with
group 1 only.)

SETTING THE RADIO OPERATION
Radio Setup available only on model XRC Controllers.
In these screens the handset allows you to limit the controller radio operation time. You will need to
limit the use of the radio controller to daylight hours to prevent power drainage of the controller. Our
suggestion is 8 AM-5 PM. This will allow the controller to operate within the window between early
morning and late afternoon. The LEIT XRC requires greater energy for radio communication than
is used for operation of the controller alone. In order to retain sufficient energy to maintain valve
control the radio on the controllers will automatically turn off in low light conditions.

following screens. Press to review the changes and
to exit.
Press to repeat. Press or to move to the next feature.
UPLINK RADIO STATUS
The Uplink Radio Status is used for testing the range between the remote control handset and the
controller. The screen also provides the voltage information of the controller. The Rx and Tx figures
give an approximate indication of radio signal strength received at the controller (Rx) and handset
(Tx). The quality of the signal at that range is identified with a number between 0-3, with 3 being
the best, strongest signal. The V signal is an indication of the voltage level at the controller. The fully
charged controller will show 2.13 V on the display.
To enter Uplink Setup System press . To skip Uplink
Radio Status and move to the next feature press or

6. Make sure that the water pressure is not too high (over 150 PSI). Use a pressure regulator if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS:
The valves will come on using the “Manual Run” feature but will not water automatically.
Check the following:
1. The Rain Stop is active. To reactivate the program schedule, go into the Main Menu-Rain
Stop/Restart and cancel the Rain Stop (see Rain Stop, page 8-9).
2. No programming schedules have been entered yet. Go into Main Menu Setup Schedule and
enter a program (see Programming Schedule, page 13-15).
3. You programmed the controller, but did not ACTIVATE the programs. Go into Main Menu Setup
System and activate the desired programs (see Activating Programs, page 17).
4. The programmed runtime of the stations is set to “0” duration. Go into Main Menu Setup
Schedule and alter runtime (see Selecting a Watering Duration, page 14).
5. You are not using a sensor, but you programmed the system for sensor operation. Go into
Main Menu and then Uplink System to check that sensors are unused (see programming,
page 18).
6. A sensor is hooked up to the system and is in a state that inhibits watering.
7. If some valves will not operate in a manual run, enter Uplink System and set the Open
checkmark in the Active CCT test screen. Then repeat the manual run and then check the
status. If there is an open circuit (wire break) it will be reported. Repeat with the short
checkmark set, to look for short circuits (wires touching).
8. If the valves operate correctly in a manual run but not in a scheduled program check that the
following settings are correct:
• Active Programs screen.
• Sensor – Sensor in Use, Sensor Location and Sensor Governs screens.
• Month stop – Turn Month off and Month Selection screens
• Schedule start times, runtimes per program set correctly
9. If a program runs but starts unexpectedly check the schedule settings. If a new program starts
before the old program has completed it will be stacked to commence later. The handset gives
warnings if runtimes and starts overlap but the LEIT X or XRC controller does not.
10. Make sure there is enough time between the programs and/or start times to meet your
watering time in budget (up to 200% possible) (see Monthly Budgets, page 9).
11. The password has been changed or forgotten: Please call DIG Customer Service with the
Serial Number of your controller.
GROUPING
Considerations when setting up and making changes to grouped programs:
1. If a valve that was grouped is reset to 0:00, the valve will be skipped.
2. If the lead valve of a group is set to 0:00, the next valve must be given a run time to lead the
group. (If not, the orphaned group will attach to the preceding valve.)
3. If Valve #1 is a group leader and is set to 0:00, since there is no preceding valve, the group
would remain orphaned. A default run time of 0:01 is returned to Valve #1 to prevent this
occurrence.
If the provided solutions have not solved your problems, please call DIG 800-322-9146 for
technical support.
Please note that tampering with the controller, or even attempting to take it apart, will VOID any
warranty your product might be eligible for.

SERVICE CALL (INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING)
CHECK THE LEIT CONTROLLER AND HANDSET
1. The LEIT XRC controller functions exactly the same as the LEIT X and LEIT XR controller except
for the addition of radio setup. The handset and XRC radios MUST be set up prior to operation
with Client Code, ID and Group address using the key for the XRC.
2. The XRC controller must be situated in a position of adequate light. The radio cannot maintain
proper functionality in a shaded position such as adjacent to a wall, unless it is on the “sunny”
side of the wall. If light levels drop too low the radio will turn itself off to guarantee correct
controller operation. When the radio is off, less power is used as the controller is charging.
The radio's internal circuitry will turn itself on again when sufficient light has charged the
controller to the appropriate power level. At low light levels the radio will periodically turn on
and off. For best results schedule Time on as late as possible and Time off as early as possible
in UPLINK SYSTEM.
3. The radio will function better if it is located at a higher elevation. If there is a choice do not
situate it in a hollow.
4. To communicate, the controllers and handsets MUST have the same Client Code. This is the
user's unique identification code, which prevents interference from other users in the area.
5. For LEIT Link Multi-Pro handsets, only one group, is permissible therefore all controllers must
be set to group 1 (default).
6. For LEIT Link Master handsets, the handset can communicate with controllers, which have
been arranged in functional groups and setup accordingly.
7. If two controllers in the same group are set to the same ID, communication may be disrupted
if both controllers are in range of the handset. The same occurs if two handsets are set to the
same ID and are in use at the same time. All controllers and handsets in the same group must
have a unique ID.
8. The handset needs to be kept in a charged state. After 500 – 1000 charge cycles the internal
batteries may need replacement.
9. To verify that the controller is operating correctly, insert the LEIT key and scroll to Check
Status mode. Verify if the controller accumulated the time correctly for past and current
month.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR CONTROLLER
ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS:
With the LEIT Key plugged into the controller, if after 2 minutes there is no visible display check
the following:
1. Check the battery in the LEIT Key and replace if necessary.
2. Make sure the LEIT Key is plugged in all the way.
Some or all valves fail to operate when using “Manual Run”. (Systems NOT USING a master
Valve/Pump)
Check the following:
1. Make sure that the red (hot) wires of the actuators are spliced to the hot field wires leading to
the controller.
2. Make sure all the white (common) wires of the actuators are connected to the common field
wire leading back to the controller.
3. Insert all field wires (with 3/10” of insulation stripped from the end of the wires) firmly into the
controller connector and tighten the appropriate screws so as to ensure good connection.
4. Make sure that the wires are corrosion free, the joints are tight and made waterproof.
5. Make sure that there is adequate water pressure.
