Part 2 - Power Wire Connection Note: The Receiver requires 24 V ac to operate. It should only be connected to an irrigation controller that uses a 24 V ac UL listed Class 2 transformer to supply power. Caution: Do not connect the Receiver directly to 120/240 V ac power asthis may result in irreversi...

The obstacles will all affect the transmitted signal and typically reduce the radiatedpower that will be read by the Receiver. Different objects such as walls and floorsaffect the transmitted signal differently depending on the material composition, geom-etry and thickness. Typically, most residenti...
