Yep...
In the setup with the original controller, the water sensor was connected right into the controller. I'd have to check but I remember 2 wires coming from a switch on the wall (that allows you to bypass the switch and them another set of wires that must come from the sensor on the roof. I believe it was one from the bypass connected to a common and then a white and light blue from the wire from the roof joined with the other wire from the bypass switch with a wire nut. One addition red wire from the set of wires from the sensor connected directly to my old controller. When I connect it to the new Rainbird one, I blow the fuse....
(Sorry been away for a few days).
Thanks,

<br />Ray,
In order to blow a fuse you would have to have the common (ground wire) come contact with the hot wire or power source. Your rain sensor is likely to be a device that connect to the common wire and essentially does not allow current to flow through it when it rains by physically breaking the connection. Does your rain senser connect into your controller?
