Installation of Weather-resistant
s e c t i o n
indoor-outdoor Controller
All our Weather-resistant Indoor/Outdoor controllers can run at temperatures
between 35 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 60degrees Celsius). Storage tem-
perature is -4 to 149F (-20 to 65C).
Direct sunlight can easily increase temperatures inside the Controllers so chose a
shaded location.
The controllers are weather-resistant to UL-50 and ETL
be placed in areas where continuous water could cause damage.
Caution: Do not open the Controller when it is raining.
To make installation easier the Controller has a removable door. Remember to
leave at least 7ins (18cm) to the left of the controller box for the door to swing
open after installation.
Check the model number of your timer: various models are configured differently
to meet national requirements, look for the section covering the model number
on your controller. The model number can be found on the back of the housing,
together with other useful information.
Models 57396, 57392, 57384, 57386, 57388, 57382
are for installation in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa using the fit-
ted line cord.
Models 57606, 57012
are for 110/117VAC operation and are suitable for either wall-hanging installation
using the line cord fitted or permanent installation. You need to decide which type
of installation you are going to use. Ensure that you have the appropriate electrical

Installation using the fitted line cord
Use the mounting template provided to assist you in preparing the mount-
ing location: choose a flat, clean surface.
Using the upper mark on the template, insert a No. 8 screw (included) at
eye level leaving the screw head about 1/8th inch (3mm) out from the

wall. (Use expanding anchors in plaster or masonry if necessary).
Using the lower mark on the template, affix a No. 8 screw (included),
again leaving the head protruding.
Slip the slotted keyhole in the back of the Controller over the extended upper
screw and allow the lower screw to recess into the lower hole in order to pre-
vent the Controller from swinging. [See Fig. 22].
The line cord may now be inserted into the power outlet.
Proceed to section 7.
Installation using permanent wiring
Preparing the Controller for Permanent Installation
Before commencing to install the controller you must remove the fitted line
cord and replace with the pigtail wires provided.
Take off the terminal compartment cover by unscrewing the two screws and
pulling the plastic cover forward. [See figure 21], this reveals the AC Power
Cover [Figure 23].
Remove the rubber weather plug from the hole in the center and unscrew the
one fixing screw, pull the plastic cover forward to reveal the AC wiring.
Use a punch to create a hole in the blind Bottom Mounting Hole on the back
of the controller box [Figure 22: Bottom Mounting Hole].
Loosen the screw on the cord restraint and the three screws on the terminal
block and remove the line cord completely.
Feed the three wires of the pigtail through the exit nipple, under the strain relief,
and cross to the terminal block. Fasten the wires to the terminal block ensuring
that the black wire is connected to the Live terminal marked L, the white wire is
connected to the Neutral terminal marked N, and the green wire is connected to
the Earth terminal marked E. Ensure that the terminal screws and the strain relief
screw are all firmly tightened. Check that the wires are clear of any obstruction
and will not be trapped by the AC Power Cover when it is replaced.
Replace the AC Power Cover and screw tight, do not force into place, if resist-
ance is met check that no wires are trapped.
The Controller is now ready for permanent installation; follow all the instructions
for the following models to complete the installation.
Models 57344, 57346, 57348, 57342
International Models 94024, 94026, 94028, 94022
All the above listed models are designed for permanent installation only. Local
building and electrical codes usually require that an approved electrical con-
duit and electrical fittings be used to connect exterior wall-mounted equip-
ment to AC power. Please check local codes. Any permanent connection
should be made by a licensed electrical contractor in accordance with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code and other state and local codes.
Take off the terminal compartment cover of the controller by unscrewing the
two screws and pulling the plastic cover forward. [Figure 21].
Remove the rubber weather plug from the screw hole.
Use the mounting template provided to assist you in preparing the mounting
location: choose a flat, clean surface.
Using the upper mark on the template, insert a No. 8 screw (included) at eye
10
level leaving the screw head about 1/8th inch (3mm) out from the wall.
