Introduction

The Irritrol Climate Logic

wireless weather sensor system

transforms your automatic irrigation control system into

a high-efficiency, 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 specific

geographic and local weather profile information provided on

a region-specific 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
