II. Installation
Selecting an Installation Site
Install the timer with the display at eye level. If you will be using a pump, the timer must be
mounted at least 15 feet (4.5m) away from your pump start relay and pump. Do not plug the
timer into any power circuit serving a refrigerator, a pump, an air conditioner, a garage door
opener, a washer or dryer, or other high-powered equipment.
WARNING: This timer is designed for indoor installation only. Installing this timer
outdoors will void the warranty and may result in an electric shock hazard.

Mounting the timer

1. Select an indoor location within 6 feet (1.8m) of an outlet to mount your timer. Do not use
an outlet that is controlled by an On/Of switch. Mount with display at eye level.
2. Drive one #8 screw into wall leaving approximately 1/8" (3.2mm) exposed. Use a plastic
anchor sleeve if wall is plaster board or masonry.
3. Mount the hanger kit to the top/back of the timer. Hang the timer on the mounting screw.
4. Drive two additional #8 screws through the holes at the bottom of the timer case into the
wall to secure.
Note: To enable programming the timer prior to installation, connect a 9-volt Alkaline
battery to the battery clip at this time. Refer to "Dial Programming" on page 4 for
programming instructions.
Caution: Replace battery with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of used batteries
as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Connect the Valves & Transformer
WARNING: To avoid an electrical shock hazard, do not plug the transformer
into the outlet until all wire connections to the timer have been completed.
The timer operates on 24 V a.c. Do not attempt to connect the timer directly to
the wall outlet. This will destroy the timer and may result in electrical shock or
fire hazard.
