8. Connecting The IC has 1 rain sensor port with 2 outputs labeled RS1 and RS2 Also most rain sensors have 2 wires coming out of them One of those wires goes into RS1 and the other into RS2 The outputs don t have a polarity so it does not matter which wire goes to which output It is very important that the wires do NOT have a voltage in them This can happen if the sensor wires are somehow connected to the common wire It isa common practice for installers to do this so specially if the IC is replacing an older controller that you make sure the sensor is not energized and not connected to the common wire 39 enue N JOSN L M I 8 Flow Meter 8 Flow Meter The IC has 1 port dedicated to a flow meter If a Reed Switch type flow meter is attached to FS1 FS2 and ifthe flow meter port is enabled in the Settings gt Other section the IC will track the water usage and log it to a USB memory stick if one is attached to the USB porton the IC 8 1 Flow Meters Supported The IC supports Reed Switch based flow meters These type of meters look like a regular water meter but they have a small appendage the Reed Switch on top of one of the dials As the dial turns the Reed Switch ticks or turns the switch ON and OFF Itis this switch activity that the IC detects and measures The faster the water flows through the meter the faster the ticks and the higher the flow 8 2 Flow Meter Settings For the IC to collect data or meas
