ABOUT THE LEIT LINK REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET

Thank you for purchasing DIG’s LEIT Link Remote Control Handset.This manual is designed to help you get the LEIT Link handset up and running quickly.This manual will describe all you need to know about how to use the LEIT Link handset. After you read this manual and have familiarized yourself with the basic functionality of this device, you can use this manual as reference for less common tasks in the future.

Models Available

• LEIT Link

Master™ operates 99 groups of controllers with up to 99 controllers per each group

• LEIT Link

Multi-Pro™ operates 99 controllers in one group

The LEIT Link Remote Control Handset is a 2-way radio communication device that operates in the ISM band 902-928 MHz (868/869 Europe). The LEIT Link is a practical solution to ﬁeld communications and the management of any LEIT XRC controller in remote or hard to reach sites.

Using the LEIT Link Remote Control Handset one can review status reports, modify program settings, temporarily interrupt a running program to do a manual run, test a valve or skip to the next valve mode. The current running program and current valve open information is provided when activated. In Check Status Mode the handset also can review time, date, budget, sensor activation (if rain sensor is active), and solenoid integrity.In Uplink History one can review the hourly usage of each valve for all months and annual usage. Manual Run usage per month is also provided. All of these features can be accessed from a distance of up to 800 feet line of site.

The handset can request or send information and commands to a particular controller. It will also receive conﬁrmation for the information sent or requested.

IMPORTANT:The LEIT XRC requires greater energy for radio communication than is used for operation of the controller alone. In order to retain sufﬁcient energy to maintain valve control, the radio on the controller will automatically turn off in low light conditions.

The LEIT XRC controller requires daily exposure to light levels at a minimum of 15.000 to 20.000 lux, which is equivalent to daylight around 9 AM-10 AM on a cloudy day. On very cloudy days the controller requires more time to charge up and operate with the radio. To maximize the energy available the XRC controller should be installed in an open, un-shaded area.

SETTING UP THE LEIT LINK HANDSET AND LEIT XRC CONTROLLER

IMPORTANT: In order to establish 2-way communication between the LEIT Link handset and the LEIT XRC controllers, a simple set up process using Radio Setup in both units must be completed.

1. Settings in Radio Setup on the LEIT XRC should be changed from Local Mode to Remote Mode.

2. Controller ID addresses and Group Number addresses should be assigned to each controller and handset in the system.

3. The radio-receiving module within the controller is automatically turned off at night to conserve power.The start and stop times are selectable, the default is 7 AM to 5 PM.

4. The same Client Code Number must be assigned to all units, handsets and controllers. In addition, a descriptive Controller Address can be assigned with up to 14 characters to uniquely identify each location.

Note: No 2 handsets or controllers in the same group number can have the same ID number.

IMPORTANT: Communication between the LEIT Link and the LEIT XRC controllers is

automatically limited to daylight hours when there is sufﬁcient light energy (un-shaded daylight). Bright light will enable the radio to operate automatically,overriding the start/stop times in Radio Setup.

COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE PROTOCOL:

Local Mode: The LEIT XRC controller is not listening to a signal from the LEIT Link Remote Control Handset. (Set in controller Radio Setup.)

Remote Mode: Allows the LEIT XRC controller to scan for a signal from the LEIT Link Remote Control Handset. (Set in controller Radio Setup.)

Client Code Number: Allows a user to have a unique identity code for their LEIT XRC controllers and LEIT Link handset. This is a security feature, which locks out unauthorized users. This is set as a description (AAAAA01_ZZZZZ99).All units should have the same description. (This code is set in the handset and in the controller during Radio Setup.)

ID Address: Used as an individual address for a single controller and handset within a group of controllers. (This ID is set in the handset and in the controller Radio Setup.)

Group Number: Allows for a group of controllers to be isolated from another group. (This number is set in the handset and in the controller Radio Setup.) (MULTI-PRO handsets will communicate with group 1 only.)

SETTING THE RADIO OPERATION

Radio Setup available only on model XRC Controllers.

In these screens the handset allows you to limit the controller radio operation time. You will need to limit the use of the radio controller to daylight hours to prevent power drainage of the controller. Our suggestion is 8 AM-5 PM. This will allow the controller to operate within the window between early morning and late afternoon. The LEIT XRC requires greater energy for radio communication than

is used for operation of the controller alone. In order to retain sufﬁcient energy to maintain valve control the radio on the controllers will automatically turn off in low light conditions.

6. Make sure that the water pressure is not too high (over 150 PSI). Use a pressure regulator if

necessary.

PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS:

The valves will come on using the “Manual Run” feature but will not water automatically.

Check the following:

1. The Rain Stop is active. To reactivate the program schedule, go into the Main Menu-Rain

Stop/Restart and cancel the Rain Stop (see Rain Stop, page 8-9).

2. No programming schedules have been entered yet. Go into Main Menu Setup Schedule and

enter a program (see Programming Schedule, page 13-15).

3. You programmed the controller,but did not ACTIVATE the programs. Go into Main Menu Setup

System and activate the desired programs (see Activating Programs, page 17).

4. The programmed runtime of the stations is set to “0” duration. Go into Main Menu Setup

Schedule and alter runtime (see Selecting a Watering Duration, page 14).

5. You are not using a sensor,but you programmed the system for sensor operation. Go into

Main Menu and then Uplink System to check that sensors are unused (see programming, page 18).

6. A sensor is hooked up to the system and is in a state that inhibits watering.

7. If some valves will not operate in a manual run, enter Uplink System and set the Open

checkmark in the Active CCT test screen. Then repeat the manual run and then check the status. If there is an open circuit (wire break) it will be reported. Repeat with the short checkmark set, to look for short circuits (wires touching).

8. If the valves operate correctly in a manual run but not in a scheduled program check that the

following settings are correct:

• Active Programs screen.

• Sensor – Sensor in Use, Sensor Location and Sensor Governs screens.

• Month stop – Turn Month off and Month Selection screens

• Schedule start times, runtimes per program set correctly

9. If a program runs but starts unexpectedly check the schedule settings. If a new program starts

before the old program has completed it will be stacked to commence later.The handset gives warnings if runtimes and starts overlap but the LEIT X or XRC controller does not.

10. Make sure there is enough time between the programs and/or start times to meet your

watering time in budget (up to 200% possible) (see Monthly Budgets, page 9).

11. The password has been changed or forgotten: Please call DIG Customer Service with the

Serial Number of your controller.

GROUPING

Considerations when setting up and making changes to grouped programs:

1. If a valve that was grouped is reset to 0:00, the valve will be skipped.

2. If the lead valve of a group is set to 0:00, the next valve must be given a run time to lead the

group. (If not, the orphaned group will attach to the preceding valve.)

3. If Valve #1 is a group leader and is set to 0:00, since there is no preceding valve, the group

would remain orphaned. A default run time of 0:01 is returned to Valve #1 to prevent this occurrence.

If the provided solutions have not solved your problems, please call DIG 800-322-9146 for technical support.

Please note that tampering with the controller,or even attempting to take it apart, will VOID any warranty your product might be eligible for.

SERVICE CALL (INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING)

CHECK THE LEIT CONTROLLER AND HANDSET

1. The LEIT XRC controller functions exactly the same as the LEIT X and LEIT XR controller except for the addition of radio setup. The handset and XRC radios MUST be set up prior to operation with Client Code, ID and Group address using the key for the XRC.

2. The XRC controller must be situated in a position of adequate light. The radio cannot maintain proper functionality in a shaded position such as adjacent to a wall, unless it is on the “sunny” side of the wall. If light levels drop too low the radio will turn itself off to guarantee correct controller operation. When the radio is off, less power is used as the controller is charging. The radio's internal circuitry will turn itself on again when sufﬁcient light has charged the controller to the appropriate power level. At low light levels the radio will periodically turn on and off. For best results schedule Time on as late as possible and Time off as early as possible in UPLINK SYSTEM.

3. The radio will function better if it is located at a higher elevation. If there is a choice do not situate it in a hollow.

4. To communicate, the controllers and handsets MUST have the same Client Code. This is the user's unique identiﬁcation code, which prevents interference from other users in the area.

5. For LEIT Link Multi-Pro handsets, only one group, is permissible therefore all controllers must be set to group 1 (default).

6. For LEIT Link Master handsets, the handset can communicate with controllers, which have been arranged in functional groups and setup accordingly.

7. If two controllers in the same group are set to the same ID, communication may be disrupted if both controllers are in range of the handset. The same occurs if two handsets are set to the same ID and are in use at the same time. All controllers and handsets in the same group must have a unique ID.

8. The handset needs to be kept in a charged state. After 500 – 1000 charge cycles the internal batteries may need replacement.

9. To verify that the controller is operating correctly, insert the LEIT key and scroll to Check Status mode. Verify if the controller accumulated the time correctly for past and current month.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR CONTROLLER

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS:

With the LEIT Key plugged into the controller,if after 2 minutes there is no visible display check the following:

1. Check the battery in the LEIT Key and replace if necessary.

2. Make sure the LEIT Key is plugged in all the way.

Some or all valves fail to operate when using “Manual Run”. (Systems NOT USING a master Valve/Pump)

Check the following:

1. Make sure that the red (hot) wires of the actuators are spliced to the hot ﬁeld wires leading to the controller.

2. Make sure all the white (common) wires of the actuators are connected to the common ﬁeld wire leading back to the controller.

3. Insert all ﬁeld wires (with 3/10” of insulation stripped from the end of the wires) ﬁrmly into the controller connector and tighten the appropriate screws so as to ensure good connection.

4. Make sure that the wires are corrosion free, the joints are tight and made waterproof.

5. Make sure that there is adequate water pressure.
