Mount Controller
Install the controller in 5 easy steps—
1. Choosing a Controller Location

2. Mounting the Controller

3. Installing the Batteries
4. Connecting the Transformer
5. Connecting Valve Wires to Controller
1. Choosing a Controller Location
Select a location near a standard electrical outlet. Avoid using an outlet
controlled by an On/Off switch.
The controller should not be exposed to the weather or operate at temper-
atures below 14 degrees or above 113 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees or
above 45 degrees Celsius). Avoid direct sunlight.
Installation works best in a garage or protected area. The controller should
not be mounted outdoors.
2. Mounting the Controller
A mounting template is provided to assist you in mounting the controller.
Screw a No. 8 screw at eye level leaving the screw head extended out from
the wall about 1/8" (3 mm). Use expanding anchors in plaster or masonry
if necessary.
Slip the keyhole slot in the back
of the controller over the extended
screw.
Screw a No. 8 screw through
each of the two holes at the bottom of
the box into the wall
[See Figure 19].

3. Install the Batteries

The controller requires two AA alkaline batteries to keep the program in
memory in case of AC power loss. In a typical installation, fully charged bat-
teries should provide sufficient power for approximately one year of protec-
tion. Therefore, we recommend changing the batteries annually.
Remove the battery cover by sliding it to the left.
Insert two AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment.
Return the battery cover to its closed position.
Weak or missing batteries can cause the time, date, and program to be erased
after a power failure. If this happens, you will need to install fully charged
batteries and reprogram the controller.
Note: Batteries alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling system. The 24-
volt transformer must be plugged in and have power to operate your system normally.
4. Connecting the Transformer
With the cover off, find the two terminal holes labeled "24 VAC." Make
sure the transformer is not plugged in. Insert one of the two power leads
from the transformer into each terminal. It doesn't matter which lead goes
into which terminal.
It may be necessary to open the terminal to allow for wire insertion or
removal. To do this, simply press upward on the tab located on top of the
terminal [See Figure 8, Page 4].
Plug in the transformer [See Figure 20].
Warning: Do not link two or more controllers together with one transformer.
Slide the cover back on until it snaps.
