WeatherLink Irrigation

WeatherLink brings an additional dimension to your Vantage Pro2 or Vue weather station. With this version your Vantage Pro2 or Vue weather station can be used to turn your irrigation system on or off based on current weather conditions. Connects to most common irrigation systems, including Rain Bird, Rain Master, and Toro. For the industrial controllers used in agricultural and turf management the system provides electronic pulses for wind, rain, and evapotranspiration. For homeowners, uses the alarm settings in the Vantage Pro2 console. Set the alarms to water your garden before a hard freeze hits, or to turn the system off if it starts raining. Add an optional solar radiation sensor and you can even set the alarms to turn the system on or off based on evapotranspiration.

Data logger simultaneously logs and stores the data, which can later be downloaded to your PC for all the graphing, charting, and analysis included with the standard WeatherLink.

To use WeatherLink to control more than one irrigation system you will need a Wireless Envoy or Wireless Console and Irrigation WeatherLink for each system
