K-Rain 2514 110V-to-24V Irrigation Timer with Rain-Switch Support
Brand: K-Rain | SKU: 2514
Product Overview
The K-Rain 2514 is a mechanical single-station controller for one compatible 24 VAC irrigation load. It accepts 110 VAC input and uses a built-in transformer to provide 24 VAC, 20 VA output. 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. Before ordering, confirm the connected load, inrush demand, sensor contact arrangement, supply voltage, and installation requirements. The rain switch is sold separately, and the 2514 does not directly switch a 110V or 220V pump motor.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
- Confirm the connected 24 VAC load, including inrush demand, remains within the 20 VA transformer rating.
- Use the approved rain-switch contact arrangement.
- A line-voltage pump requires a properly rated separate relay or starter.
- Disconnect power and follow current K-Rain instructions and applicable electrical codes.
- Line-voltage work should be completed by a qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the K-Rain 2514 include a rain sensor?
No. It includes compatible rain-switch terminals and an override; the sensor is sold separately.
What is the controller output?
The verified output is 24 VAC at 20 VA.
Can it power a pump directly?
Not a line-voltage pump motor. Pump control requires a compatible, properly rated relay or starter.
Why Buy the K-Rain 2514 Irrigation Timer?
Big Frog Supply separates the input, low-voltage output, rain-switch function, and pump-control limitations so homeowners, contractors, and maintenance teams can compare the 2514 with K-Rain’s line-voltage timer models before ordering.
