Introduction
The OSMAC RDR Satellite Controller is designed for installation on a substantial concrete foundation with imbedded
conduit of various diameters to enable power, field and earth ground wiring to be routed into the cabinet for connection.
A mounting bolt positioner and basic mounting hardware components are included with each controller. Additional materials
required to complete the installation must be obtained separately. A material list can be compiled by reading through the
instructions completely prior to starting the installation.
CAUTION: For your protection and the safety of the product user, comply with all Caution and Warning
statements within this document. All installation practices must comply with all applicable national and/or local
electrical and construction codes.
Foundation Construction
1. Prepare a hole for the foundation and
wiring conduit using the minimum
recommended dimensions shown in
Figure 1.
Note: Refer to local electrical codes for
required depth of buried wiring.
2. Trench to the foundation site as
required for each wiring run.
3. Position straight and sweep elbow
conduit sections in foundation hole as
shown. Tape the conduit ends to seal
out dirt. Backfill soil to form a 6"
(15.2cm) foundation depth. Conduit
should not extend more than 2" (51mm)
above the finished top surface of the
foundation.
4. Prepare the sides of the foundation hole
with wood forms.
5. Prepare the mounting bolt positioner
with the 5/16 x 4-1/2" bolts and nuts
(provided) as shown in Figure 1. The
threads should extend 2" (51mm) from
the top surface of the bolt positioner.
6. Pour concrete into the formed
foundation hole. Press the mounting
bolt positioner into the concrete until it is
flush and level with the foundation
surface and aligned with the conduit.
7. Finish the concrete with a level flat area
of 16" x 16" (41cm x 41cm) for the
pedestal base. To prevent pooling at the
base of the pedestal, add a slight taper
away from the cabinet base contact
area. Allow concrete to sufficiently
harden before continuing.
8. Remove the hex nuts from the mounting
studs. Remove the cabinet cover and
doors. Carefully position the controller
onto the studs. Install a flat washer and
a hex nut on each stud and tighten
securely.

  • Page 2 The following instructions depict one of several acceptable earth grounding methods. Due to variables in soil composition and terrain, the method shown may not be suitable for your installation site. Contact your local Toro distributor for assistance and availability of the required earth ground resistance test instrument. Recommended ground testers are: AEMC Instruments, model 3710 clamp-on tester, or Biddle Megger, model 250260 (or equivalent).

    Note: The decoder module utilizes a programmable frequency synthesizer which enables each of the preprogrammed frequencies to be changed as needed for the irrigation site conditions. Contact your local Toro distributor for additional information regarding frequency reprogramming. Important: The base station transmitter, hand-held radio and frequency decoder module must be set to the same frequency to enable communication.
