INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
This section includes instructions for mounting the controller cabinet
and making the necessary wiring connections. To ensure safe
operation, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. The
following procedures include:
• Selecting an Installation Site
• Mounting the Controller
• Installing Electrical Conduit
• Connecting the Valve Wiring
• Connecting an Optional Pump Start Relay
• Connecting an Optional Rain Switch Sensor

SELECTING AN INSTALLATION SITE
Selecting the proper installation site for the controller is essential to
safe and reliable operation. The Custom Command features a weather
resistant cabinet designed for indoor or outdoor installation.
For easy operation and better view of the display, install the controller
so that the display is at, or slightly below eye level.
The controller should be installed on a vertical wall or other sturdy
structure near a grounded power source. Select a location that shades
the controller during the hottest hours of the day and provides as
much protection from direct sunlight, rain, wind and snow as possible.
DO NOT mount the controller where it will be exposed to direct
spray from the irrigation system.
