Irritrol MC-E - Manual (Page 34)


Remote Control (Purchased Separately)
The MC-E is equipped with two remote control ports to be used with the Toro Sentinel TM Remote Central System and
hand-held maintenance remote controls.
Maintenance Remote Controls
The MC-E can be remotely operated using any of the following
remote control systems:
• KwikStart
® Remote (KSR-KIT-K) Control System
• Commercial Maintenance Remote (CMR-KIT) Control System
• Eicon’s Maintenance Remote Control System
• Some models of TRC Irrigation Remotes.
For Irritrol KSR-KIT-K and CMR-KIT:
Step 1 – Verify that the Function dial is in the Auto Run
position.
Step 2 – Secure the remote control system’s receiver cable to the MC-E KSR/CMR remote socket. Remote system such
as the KwikStart will require an adapter cable to install. Refer to the remote control system’s installation and
operation instructions for additional information.
For the Toro Sentinel Remote Central System, Eicon or
TRC Remotes (Sidekick or Commander):
The MC-E controller is designed to be compatible with the Toro Sentinel Remote Central System, Eicon and some of the
TRC remotes.
When the function dial is placed in the Remote Control position, MC-E will immediately stop all activities and it will
start receiving commands from Sentinel Central, Eicon or some of the TRC remotes. As long as the function dial is in
the Remote Control position, all scheduled programs are ignored and the 5-pin KwikStart Remote (KSR)/Contractor
Maintenance Remote (CMR) port is disabled. The MC-E will only operate based on commands received from Sentinel
Central, Eicon or TRC remotes.
Step 1 – Secure the 6-Pin ribbon data cable from the MC Link remote device to the MC-E Sentinel remote socket.
The other remotes utilizes the 6-pin Sentinel remote socket also.
Step 2 – Place the Function Dial to the Remote Control position. Leave the dial at the remote control position to
keep the MC-E under the control of Sentinel Central, Eicon or TRC remotes.
Step 3 – Return the Function dial to AUTO/RUN position to exit Sentinel’s Remote Control communication.
Any remote that uses the Sentinel remote socket bypasses the controller’s diagnosotic circuit breaker.
Do not use this type of remote for electrical troubleshooting.
