NOTE: Before you launch the App, you
will need to enable locations services
on your phone/tablet in order for the
App to geolocate your device during

The only distinction is the outside
plastic housing.
Technical Data
• Operating temperature range of
32º to 120º F
• Operating Pressure: 7 to 200 psi
Note: Where sustained pressures
may exceed 120 psi the installation
of a pressure reducing valve (PRV) is
recommended.
Battery Life
• Will vary based on number
of cycles per year, operating
pressure, and temperature. We
recommend checking the battery
every 6 months, but in many
cases, you will get more life out
of them.
HG-6 REMOVABLE
(REQUIRES CONTROLLER)
Bluetooth Instructions
The BL-KR battery powered
irrigation module communicates
with the K-Rain BL Application on
a Smartphone or Tablet by using
Bluetooth SMART 4.0, (low energy)
on an iPhone with iOS version 7
minimum or an Android phone/tablet
with Marshmallow version 6.0
or higher.
Important:
For use only with 9V DC
Latching Solenoids. As some
solenoids will come from the
manufacturer with the plunger
already magnetically latched
open, some zones will default
to OPEN. Follow the start-up
procedure for systems with DC
Latching Solenoids. (Page 09)
For every change to the program
in the Mobile App, you must
exit back to the home screen
and tap the blue TRANSMIT
button (bottom right corner).
The Application aggregates
changes and transmits them
to the controller when you have
finished programming.
Programs A, B, and C are
independent programs, including
start times, run times, watering
days, and water budget.
