The unique TMC-424E Expansion Modules are color-coded for easy identification.
The modules can be mixed and matched in any combination and are available in
six models as indicated in the table below.

The Expansion Modules can be installed and removed at any time without powering
down the controller. The TMC-424E will gain instant access to the module and will
logically number the stations based on module position.
For example, if three 4-station modules are installed, the stations will be numbered
1–12: module I (stations 1–4) module I I (stations 5–8) and module I I I ( s t a t i o n s
9–12). If module I I is removed, stations 5–8 will be automatically assigned to
module I I I. All stations will remain in sequence without gaps.
Getting Started
As an initial step, we recommend that you take a few moments to browse through
various sections of this User's Guide. Also, take the time jot down some basic
watering program and station information on the Watering Schedule form provided.
Having this information readily at hand will be very helpful during the initial controller
setup and programming procedures.
Note that the Watering Schedule form provides a convenient pocket for the User's
Guide and Quick Reference Guide when folded and attached to the inside of the
cabinet door.
