Instruction Manual MWS MINI-WEATHER STATION
INSTALLATION CARD
GENERAL
MWS features a wind speed sensor and rainfall sensor.
MWS-FR features a wind speed sensor, a rainfall sensor, and a freeze sensor
for near-freezing conditions.
Each sensor operates independently of the others; therefore, any or all of
them may be switching at a given moment. See the enclosed separate product
installation instructions for details on each sensor’s operation and settings.
Use only the “mounting” details contained on this sheet.
MOUNTING
The weather station is designed to mount on a post of 2″ (50 mm) PVC pipe.
However, any combination of pipe and fittings can be used to tailor an
installation. The enclosed “reducer” fitting has two purposes:
1. It allows for the use of 1/ 2″ (12.8 mm) PVC pipe for shorter mounts2. It
allows for mounting onto a surface (wood post or deck).
Important: For the most accurate temperature sensing, rotate
the weather station so the thermostat portion points north.
WIRING TO HUNTER CONTROLLERS
The Mini-Weather Station connects directly to Hunter controllers. This allows
you to easily override the sensor by using the Bypass Sensor option on the
controller.
- Route the wires from the Mini-Weather Station up through the same opening used for valve wiring.
- Connect both wires to the SEN terminals (Figure 1).
OTHER 24 VAC CONTROLLERS
All three sensors are electrically connected in series, so only two wires need to be used to connect to the irrigation controller. Use the red and blue wires to hook up to normally closed controllers (Figure 2). Follow the wiring instructions in any of the separate sensor manuals, or place the two wires on the controller’s “sensor input” screw terminals if available (Figure 3).
