Step 1: Controller Installation
All SL1600 controller housings are designed for indoor or outdoor
installation. Your SL1600 controller can be located in any convenient
spot such as inside the garage or on an outside wall. It is recommended
that you choose a location where the irrigation system will not be
spraying directly on the controller, in the event the housing door is
left open.
1. Open the controller's front door, then open the control panel of
your SL1600 controller.
2. Remove the control
panel from the SL1600
controller housing by
pushing upward and
outward to remove
from the hinges, then
set the control panel
aside in a safe place.
3. Mount the SL1600
controller with or
without the SL1600 controller Quick Mount bracket.
Step 2A: Installing
(recommended)
1. Determine mounting height for easy viewing and be sure to mount
low enough for field wires to reach all controller wiring terminals
and test post at top of controller.
2. Place the mounting
against the wall so that the word
"CONTROLLER SIDE" is visible
and the open ends of the housing
retainers are pointing upward.
3. Using one of the mounting screws
(or a pencil) mark the location
onto the wall of the top/center
hole (see photo).

4. Install a wall anchor in the marked position then install the bracket
onto the anchor using one of the mounting screws provided (do
not tighten screw fully yet). The center screw will automatically
level the bracket on the wall. After level is set, mark the other
mounting holes and install the remaining wall anchors.
5. Install other screws through bracket into anchors (except for
bottom center screw) and tighten all screws.
6. Align the three retainers on back of the controller housing onto
the mounting bracket and lower it into place.
7. For additional
bottom center mounting screw from
the inside of the controller. Drive the
provided screw through the mounting
notch located just below the zone
modules to secure the controller to
the bracket.
Step 2B: Installing Without Quick Mount Bracket
1. Determine mounting height for easy viewing and be sure to mount
low enough for field wires to reach controller wiring terminals and
test post at top of controller.
2. Install a wall anchor in the desired
location. This will be for the top/center
hanger hole of the controller.
3. Install one of the mounting screws
provided into the wall anchor.
4. Hang the controller on the mounting
screw by positioning the controller on
the head of the mounting screw. Check
the controller for level, then drive a 2nd
screw into the "notch" inside the bottom/
center location to mark position for second anchor. Remove
controller from top keyhole and install second anchor and then
remount controller and tighten both screws to secure unit.
Step 3: SLM4 Module Installation
1. The SL1600 controller is equipped with
one 4-zone module (SLM4). Additional
SLM4 modules may be added to expand
capacity to 16 zones. The SL1620 has
20 fixed zones; the SL1624 has 24 fixed
zones. The SLM4 module is useable only
on the SL1600.
Bracket
2. The SL1600 controller will automatically
recognize the additional zones as they are installed. No special
programming or resetting is required to initialize the modules.
3. You can insert or remove a module without removing power from
the controller.
4. To install
push the module into
the channels until you
feel it lock in place. To
remove a module, push
DOWN on the center
release panel on the top
of the module and use the top tab to pull it out.
