CONNECTING A MASTER VALVE OR PUMP START RELAY
The controller must be mounted 10 to 15 feet away from pump
start relay and the pump when controller used to operate a pump,
a pump start relay must be used.
Connect either wire from pump srart relay to controller terminal
"M", connect other wire to the "C" (common) terminal.
Do not connect controller directly to pump start, it can
damage the controller.
Connecting the controller to a pump is to be performed by a
qualified electrician only.
CONNECTING A RAIN SENSOR
An interrupt type rain sensor can be connected to the controller.
The sensor connects directly to the controller sensor terminal.
Connect either wire from sensor to the two sensor terminals on
the controller (see figure 1).
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
DIG controllers are programmed with the aid of four buttons:
Programming step selecctor – used to select the desired
programming mode (included clock setting mode)
Next step button – used to select the parameter to be
changed (hour, minute, etc.). Only a blinking parameter can be
changed.
Data increment
button (Increase) – Raises
the value of the selected
parameter (e.g., when
hours selected from 06:00
to 07:00).
– Data increment
button (Decrease) –
Lowers the value of the
selected parameter (e.g.,
when hours selected, from
06:00 to 05:00).
