Controller Installation

Installing the Cabinet

1. For safe and reliable operation, select an installation
site which can ideally provide the following conditions:
• For Indoor model controllers – Inside a garage or
other structure which will provide protection from the
weather.
• For outdoor model controllers – Protection from
irrigation spray, wind and snow. A shaded location is
recommended.
• Access to a grounded AC power source (within 4'
[1.2m] for indoor models) which is not controlled
by a light switch or utilized by a high current load
appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.
• Access to the sprinkler control valve wiring and
optional accessory wiring.
2. Drive a wood screw (provided) into the wall at eye level.
Leave the screw extended approximately 1⁄4" (6mm)
from the wall. See Figure 1.
Note: If installing the controller on drywall or masonry,
install screw anchors.
3. Remove the lower cabinet access cover by pressing it
on the bottom and pulling it directly outward from the
cabinet.
4. Hang the cabinet on the screw using the keyhole slot
on the back panel. Make sure the cabinet slides down
securely on the screw.
5. Install the lower mounting screw and tighten securely.

Note: Conduit and adapters are not provided. Install
conduit as required by local electrical codes.
6. Remove the power wire access cover. Remove the
conduit knockout according to the size of conduit being
used. Install 1⁄2" (13mm) conduit for power/equipment
ground wires (outdoor models only) and 3⁄4" (19mm) or
1" (26mm) conduit for valve wires (all models).
