Brand: K-Rain SKU: 2514
Product Overview
The K-Rain 2514 is a rain-switch-ready mechanical single-station controller for one compatible 24 VAC irrigation load. It accepts 110 VAC input and uses a built-in transformer to supply a verified 24 VAC, 20 VA output. Built-in rain-switch terminals allow a compatible weather sensor to interrupt scheduled watering without removing the programmed start times.
The controller combines a 24-hour mechanical dial, multiple start opportunities, and a repeating 14-day retained-pin schedule. A controller-face rain-switch override provides a convenient way to manage the sensor circuit when testing, servicing, or operating under approved site conditions. This makes the 2514 suitable for a single valve or compatible low-voltage control device where mechanical scheduling and rain interruption are both required.
The rain switch is not included. Confirm the selected sensor uses the approved contact arrangement and that the connected 24 VAC load—including inrush demand—fits within the 20 VA transformer rating. The 2514 does not directly switch a 110V or 220V pump motor; compatible pump control requires a properly rated separate relay or starter. Installation should follow current K-Rain wiring instructions and applicable electrical codes, with power disconnected and work completed by a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the K-Rain 2514 include a rain sensor?
No. It includes the controller terminals and override for a compatible rain switch, but the sensor is separate.
What is the output rating?
The verified output is 24 VAC, 20 VA.
Can it power a pump directly?
Not a line-voltage pump motor. A properly rated compatible relay or starter is required when pump control is part of the system.
Why Buy This K-Rain 2514 from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply distinguishes the 2514's 20 VA low-voltage output from the 2510 and 2520 line-voltage models, helping customers select the correct rain-switch-ready controller for a valve, relay, or pump-control design.
