Upgrading from old rain bird system

Hi - I am trying to determine if the 12 station Netro  spark would be easy for me to install.

I currently have a rather old rain bird system with 16 valves.


I think I understand the mapping of the com and individual values. But I am confused about the 24 vlt and my current rain sensor.

It seems like my 24vlt wires come from a pack/converter that is plugged into an outlet. Is this directly convertible - not sure how I take the orange wires and the devices they are connected to on the left of the picture to the new controller?


As well, would my current hunter rain sensor still work with the new controller, or do I need a different one?


Thanks for your help and advice.

Hi Bryan, 

 

The two orange wires directly go to the two 24 VAC slots of Netro. If you are in US, please make sure it is 110V input and 24V output power Adapter. The AMP should be larger than 600AM if your sprinkler system has mater valve.  

You do not need to connect the rain sensors because Netro get the weather forecast through WiFi. You can check Netro Whisperer sensor and it is only available on our own website https://netrohome.com  due to lack of stock.


Thanks,
