HD16 with Hunter Wireless Rain Clik sensor... how to do the wiring?

I recently bought the RainMachine HD16 and I want to connect the existing rain sensor (Hunter Wireless Rain Clik). However, before doing so, I would like to understand the wiring!

The Hunter Wireless sensor is connected to a RainBird controller which I am replacing. The current wire configuration has 2 yellow wires connected to the AC connectors of the controller, and a blue wire and a white wire connected to the SENS connectors of the controller.

Like in the old setup, I would like the controller to provide the power for the sensor.

I purchased the Rain Sensor cable adapter but I am confused as to how I connect it! I understand where it goes on the controller, but my confusion is the specific wiring.

I read the Rain Sensor article on the RainMachine site and in the #2 - Active Sensor powered by the RainMachine the diagram shows 3 connections going from the sensor to the controller... yet, the Rain Sensor cable adapter only has 2 wires!

I would appreciate some help with the wiring.

Thanks...

In addition to the above, here is an excerpt from the Hunter Wireless Rain Clik sensor manual where they discuss connecting the sensor to controllers other than Hunter...

Receiver Installation, Other Controllers:

A. Normally Closed Sensor Applications (See Figure 4)

Attach the two yellow wires to the AC terminals of the controllers (polarity does not matter).
To attach the receiver to this type of controller, attach the blue wire and the white wire to the sensor terminals of the controller, or in-line with the valve common.

Hopefully this helps...

Does anyone have any ideas on how I should do the wiring?
