Introduction

The Irritrol Climate LogicTM wireless weather sensor system

transforms your automatic irrigation control system into

a high-eciency, water resource-management center.

Compatible with remote-ready Irritrol and Toro controllers,

Climate Logic automatically regulates watering duration

corresponding to real-time weather conditions and specic

geographic and local weather prole information provided on

a region-specic Setup Card. In addition, integral rain and

freeze sensing further reduce wasteful, unnecessary irrigation

and icing conditions.

Your Climate Logic system consists of a self-contained,

Weather Sensor/Transmitter that continuously monitors

current air temperature, solar radiation and precipitation.

This data is transmitted at regular intervals throughout the

day to the Receiver Module; linked directly to your controller’s

remote control port. Each day, Climate Logic calculates and

adjusts the programmed station run time duration to the

amount required for the next automatic watering cycle.

The Climate Logic system is designed for easy installation,

setup and use. To take full advantage of the features and

capabilities provided by the Climate Logic system, take a

moment to review the detailed information provided within

this guide.

To answer any questions you may have regarding the Climate

Logic system, or any Irritrol product, please contact an Irritrol

Customer Service representative at (U.S.) 1-800-634-8873 or

(E.U.) +39 0765 40191.

raised to ½” (12 mm), or ¾” (19 mm) as preferred. Prior to install-

ing the Weather Sensor, adjust the threshold to the preferred setting as follows:

Note: Increasing the threshold extends the length of time required for the Weather Sensor to signal the

Receiver Module to stop irrigation, as well as extending the dry-out period before scheduled watering can

resume. In areas where heavy fog, mist or high humidity is common, the ⁄” (3 mm) setting is not recom-

mended due to the increased sensitivity to moisture.

All setup parameters are selected, adjusted and entered using the

NEXT/BACK, / and SAVE keys.

Auto Program Adjust: In all cases, Climate Logic regulates the

run time of all stations assigned to Program A. The Auto Program

Adjust feature enables stations assigned to Program B, or Programs

B and C to be regulated as well.

Watering Restriction Setup: This feature enables the Climate

Logic system to restrict watering for a specied daily time period.

The restriction-period start time can be set to any hour of the day.

The duration period can be set from 0 to 24 hours, in 30-minute

increments.

Schedule Update Time: The Weather Sensor transmits weather-

related data to the Receiver Module at regular intervals throughout

the day. At the default time of 8:00 p.m., the watering adjustment

factor for the next 24 hours is calculated and updated on the Home screen. The Schedule Update Time can

be set to any hour of the day, but is recommended to occur between scheduled watering operations.

Average Percent Days: This setting denes how many days of compiled weather data are used to calculate

the current watering adjustment % factor. By default, Climate Logic compiles data from the three previous

days to provide a moderately smooth adjustment factor. This feature can be adjusted from 1 to 7 days.

Decreasing the number of days, increases the adjustment variation; increasing the number of days results

in less variation and a smoother daily average.
