Rain Shut Off Status Light Blinking
If your Irritrol rain shut off indicator light (the one at the top) is blinking, your rain sensor has been bypassed.
If there is a rain event and you need to water your lawn for whatever reason, you can bypass the sensor by pressing the Smart Bypass button once. If you have pressed this inadvertently, simply press the Smart Bypass button again to exit bypass mode. The light should return to a steady state indicating the sensor is active.
