A. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing DIG's LEIT RC2 remote control handset, which operates as a part of the LEIT-2 system. This manual describes how to get the LEIT RC2 handset up and running quickly. After reading this manual and having been familiarized with the basic functionality of the handset, the manual can be used as a reference for less common tasks in the future.

B. About the LEIT RC2 Handset

The LEIT-2 is a wireless irrigation control system that combines the RC2 remote control handset with a 2-station ambient (solar) powered controller. The LEIT RC2 remote control handset is an advanced wireless device that is used to communicate with up to 99 LEIT-2 controllers, or 198 valves, from a distance of up to 350 feet (100 m) line of sight. The LEIT RC2 handset has a large LCD display and sophisticated, intuitive icon-based software

used to review and program the LEIT-2 controllers. All LEIT-2 controller functions are controlled and reviewed by the RC2 remote handset. After installation, no further visits to the controller are required.

IMPORTANT:

controllers are automatically limited to daylight hours when there is sufficient light energy. Longer bright light days will enable the radio to operate automatically over longer parts of the day, including through the night.

1.2 Battery charge outlets and recharging the battery

The LEIT RC2 contains a cell battery pack that is rechargeable using the AC/DC wall mounting charger 120 or 220 VAC/60 h2, 12 VDC @150 mA. To charge the LEIT RC2 handset, plug the wall mount charger into the wall and connect the power connector into the side of the LEIT RC2 handset. The initial charge takes approximately 8 hours. Do not disconnect the handset during the initial charge. When in use, the handset should be charged daily for a few hours as needed. If the handset is charged, you will see a charging icon and a battery appear. The battery repeats a filling action, indicating that the battery is charging. Once the battery is charged, it will stop the filling motion, and the wording CHARGED will appear. A car charger model 30-851 is available, if needed.

2. About the Handset and Controller Communication Method

In order to establish 2-way communication between the LEIT RC2 handset and the LEIT-2 controllers, a simple setup process using HANDSET SETUP and CONTROLLER SETUP must be completed.

Handset and Controller ID are used as an individual address to identify the handset and controller if more then one handset or controllers are used on a system (the permissible ID is 0-99.) The ID should be assigned to each handset first, and after connecting to a controller for the first time, set the ID for the controller.

Client ID enables the user to have unique identity codes for their handsets and field controllers. This is a security feature that locks out unauthorized users (the permissible ID is any letter combination that follows this format: AAA-ZZZ). In addition, after connection to the controller, a descriptive controller address can be assigned to the controller with up to 14 characters to uniquely identify the location of each LEIT-2 controller on the system.

3. Setting the Handset ID and Client ID

First, set the Handset ID. Start by pressing to enter the menu, and then press to navigate down to the HANDSET SETUP. Press to enter

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 General Information for Handset and Controller

1) The LEIT-2 wireless irrigation controller needs adequate light. The radio

cannot maintain proper functionality in a continually 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 it off to guarantee correct controller operation. When the radio is off, less power is used and the controller charges faster. The radio's internal circuitry can turn itself on again when sufficient light has charged the controller to adequate levels. At low light levels the radio will periodically turn off.

2) The radio will function better if the controller is located at higher elevation.

If there is a choice do not situate the controller in a hollow.

3) To communicate, the controllers and handsets MUST have the same Client

ID Code. This

is the users unique identification code, which prevents

interference from other users in the area.

4) If two controllers 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.

5) The handset needs to be kept in a charged state. After 500-1000 charge

cycles the internal batteries may need replacement.

IMPORTANT:

controllers are automatically limited to daylight hours between 8 AM to 5 PM, when there is sufficient light energy. Longer bright light days will enable the radio to operate automatically over longer parts of the day, including through the night.

5.2 Programming Problems

Causes: The valves will turn on using the "Manual Run" feature but will

not water automatically. Check the following:

Solution:

1) The Rain Stop is active. To reactivate the program schedule, go into the

Main Menu-Rain Stop/Restart and cancel Rain Stop (see Programming, page XXXXXXXX).

2) Check the date and time on the controller to make sure that it is the same

as the handset.

3) No programming schedules have been entered yet. In Controller Menu,

select program and Setup a Schedule.

4) The programmed runtime of the stations is set to "0" duration. Go into

Controller Menu, select the program and alter runtime.

5) A sensor is hooked up to the system that is inhibiting irrigation or sensor

wires are not connected if sensor added.

6) If the valves operate correctly in a manual run but not in a scheduled

program, check that the following settings are correct:

• Review the programs

• Sensor is active

• Month stop - turn off Month off and Month Selection screens

• Schedule start times, runtimes per program set correctly

7) 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.

8) Make sure there is enough time between the programs and/or start times

to meet your watering time in budget (up to 200% possible)

Causes: No communication Solution:

1) Check that the controller PVM (solar) panel is not covered. If it has been

covered for an extended period, the controller time will reset.

5.3 The Password has been Changed or Forgotten:

Please call DIG Customer Service with the serial number of the controller.
