ABSTRACT:
A wind governed sprinkler control system including a sprinkler control unit adapted to provide power upon the actuation thereof. A plurality of sprinklers are connected to the sprinkler control unit and adapted to dispense water upon the receipt of power. A wind detection switch is adapted for allowing the transmission of a wind actuation signal upon the detection of wind. Further provided is a first relay mechanism connected between the sprinkler control unit and the sprinklers and adapted to allow the transmission of power to the sprinklers only during the receipt of a first relay activation signal. Associated therewith is a second relay mechansim connected to the sprinkler control unit and adapted to provide power at an output thereof upon the actuation of the sprinkler control unit. Finally, a time delay control mechanism is adapted to deploy to the first relay mechanism a first relay activation signal only upon the receipt of power from the second relay mechanism in combination with a lack of receipt of the wind actuation signal for a predetermined time. Further, the time delay control mechanism is adapted to continue to deploy to the first relay mechanism the first relay activation signal only during the receipt of power in combination with a lack of the wind actuation signal.
