Mounting the Controller
Install the controller near a 240VAC
outlet–preferably in a house, garage,
or exterior electrical cubicle
For ease of operation, eye level
placement is recommended
Ideally, your controller location should
not be exposed to rain or areas prone
to flooding or heavy water
This inbuilt controller comes with an
internal transformer and is suitable
for outdoor or indoor installation
The housing is designed for outdoor
installation but the plug needs to be installed
in a weatherproof socket or under cover
Fasten the controller using the key hole slot
positioned externally on the top centre and the
additional holes positioned internally under the
terminal cover
Electrical Hook-up
All electrical work must be carried out
in accordance with these instructions,
following all applicable local, state
and federal codes pertaining to the
country of installation–failure to do so
will void the controller's warranty
Disconnect mains power supply
before any maintenance work to the
controller or valves is undertaken
Do not attempt to wire any high voltage items
yourself, i.e. pumps and pump contactors or
hard wiring the controller power supply to the
mains–this is the field of a licensed electrician
Serious injury or death could result from
improper hook up–if in doubt consult your
regulatory body as to what is required
Field Wiring Connections
1. Prepare wire for hook-up by cutting the wires to
the correct length and stripping approximately
0.25 inches (6.0mm) of insulation from the
end to be connected to the controller
2. Ensure terminal block screws are loosened
sufficiently to permit easy access for wire ends
3. Insert stripped wire ends into the clamp
aperture and tighten screws
Do not over tighten as this may
damage the terminal block
A maximum of 0.75 amps may
be supplied by any output
4. Check the inrush current of your
solenoid coils before connecting more
than two valves to any one station
Power Supply Connections
It is recommended that the transformer is not
connected to a 240VAC supply which is also
servicing or supplying motors (such as air
conditioners, pool pumps, refrigerators)
Lighting circuits are suitable as power sources
