Flow / Rain Bucket / Status
(Normally Open / Normally
Closed) Sensor
Secure the flow / rain bucket / status
sensor's black lead to screw IN 2 (or any
terminal input thru IN 6) and red or
white lead to terminal input 12V (see
illustration).
DO NOT ATTACH A LEAD
TO THE G (ground)
TERMINAL. That will
short the power to
the controller.
Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor must be connected to the
Temperature Probe Connection port. See Sensor Input
Board Overview on page 1 for port location.
Sensor Configuration - Local Mode
Sensor configuration can either be done at the satellite in Local Mode or at a Central computer
!
running Lynx. If communication is established between a satellite and a Lynx system, the Lynx
system will overwrite all locally defined sensor configuration information. Meaning, if operating a
Lynx system, the sensors must be configured with Lynx.
Procedure
1. Return power to the controller.
2. The controller can automatically tell if a pressure
sensor and/or a temperature sensor is installed. For
flow, rain, and status sensors, however, we need to tell
the controller what kind of sensor has been installed
on that terminal.
3. Press the
Station Settings button.
