7.0 Connecting to Power

Indoor Model: After you have completed all valve connections and have a stable controller installation, route the two leads from your transformer through the bottom hole and connect to the 24 VAC INPUT terminals, then snap the control module closed. Plug the transformer into a standard 120 volt outlet. A flashing "12:00 PM" should show on the display.

Outdoor Model: Outdoor controllers have a built-in transformer which must be connected directly to a grounded, 3-wire, 120 VAC power source. This connection should be made by a licensed electrical contractor in accordance with all requirements of the National Electrical Code and applicable state and local codes. NOTE: Local building and electrical codes usually require that approved electrical conduit and fittings be used to connect exterior, wall-mounted equipment to 120 VAC power. CAUTION: DO NOT connect the contrller to one phase of a 3-phase power system used by a pump or other electrical equipment.

To connect to an outdoor model controller, complete the following:
1. Turn of installation site power at the associated circuit breaker.
2. Verify that power has been turned off at the installation site by using an
appropriate AC voltage meter.
3. Install the conduit and associated fittings.
4. Connect power and ground wires per electrical codes.
5. Turn power on.
6. Check controller operation. If the controller is not operating, unplug
the transformer and check for shorts.
