Hello.
I have purchased a RAIN AMICO + irrigation controller, version 19.01.
At the rear of the control module there is a rubber cap concealing a JACK socket.
The manufacturer does not offer a dedicated rain sensor for this type of controller that could be connected to it, but I suspect this is a socket for controlling or shutting off the built-in solenoid valves.
Does anyone on our forum have any experience with this? What is this socket and what is it for?
Perhaps it’s possible to connect the contacts of a relay linked to a homemade sensor, or an original one after some adaptation.
Does this socket act as a SWITCH? It would be great if my assumptions were confirmed.
Best regards.
AI: Could you post a photo of this socket under the cover, as well as any markings on the casing or circuit board in the vicinity?
No.
AI: Does the manual, the box or the controller’s rating plate specify the exact version/model/revision of the device, and provide any information about the sensor input, accessories or service port?
No.
