Controller Installation
Mounting the Controller
1. For safe, reliable operation select an installation site which will provide:
Protection from direct irrigation spray
Protection from direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day
Access to a 110 volt circuit that is not controlled by a light switch nor feeds a noisy load
such as a large motor.
Access to a #6 to #10 grounding wire and copper clad ground rod.
Access to the sprinkler control valve wiring.
2. Securely mount the controller through the stud mounting locations or the optional
masonry mounting hole using appropriate wood screws or concrete anchors (not
included).
NOTE
: If installation will be on drywall or masonry, install screw anchors to assure secure
mount.
3. Use a 1/2" metal
conduit coupling to attach
a connection box to the
power nipple on the
bottom of the controller as
shown in the diagram
below.
4. Drill a hole in the
bottom of the controller
box to install a 1/2"
conduit for the ground
wire as shown below.
