2.2 Controller Installation

Option A: Valve Box Mounting Dome, color: green (model 30-830)

1. Lay the template on top of the rectangular or round irrigation box cover and

drill 4-8 holes, make sure to review the template position on the valve box

before drilling (see drilling instruction on the template) using 1/4" drill

(.250") (6 mm). The holes are used to hold the mounting dome to the

irrigation box cover. Using the same template, drill 1 hole using a 1/2"

(.500") (12 mm) drill bit to allow the wires from the controller into the valve

box cover (see 1-4)

2. Insert the controller into the mounting dome (see 3).

3. Insert the controller wires into the valve box cover (see 4).

4. Use #2 Philips screwdriver to attach the mounting dome to the valve box

cover with the #10 Philips head screws that are included with the mounting

dome (see 5).

5. There are 6 wires or three sets of wires from the controller, 1 pair for each

valve and 1 pair for sensor connection (labeled V-1, V-2 and S). Connect the

controller's output station wire (V1 red) to the hot wires (red) on the

solenoid. Then connect the controller's output station common wire (V1

white) to the white wire on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice

waterproof connectors. Repeat the same steps for station 2. Leave slack in

the wires on each side so repairs can be carried out easily (see 6).

NOTE: V1 may be identified by label or striped wires.

6. Reattach the valve box cover on top of the valve box and if available lock

the cover to the box (recommended) (see 6).
