The display will then flash "SHORT" and the shorted station number, or “RELAY,” “3 -WAY,” “BW,” or “FW.”...
GENERAL INFORMATION OW THE SENSOR FEATURE WORKS The controller is equipped to operate with an optional rain sensing ® COMPLETE CONTROL device, commonly called a "Rain Switch", to prevent automatic watering during rain. The rain switch is a simple device, typically installed on a roof overhang or stationary structure exposed to rainfall and full sun and shielded from irrigation spray.
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER This section covers the following topics : • Getting started • Selecting the number of recycling valves • Setting the current time and date • Erasing existing programs • Setting the recycling features • Setting the station run duration •...
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER NOTE: Fresh water valves must be plumbed to a constant -pressure fresh water supply, and recycling valves must be plumbed to the recycled water main line from the ReWater System. NOTE: The ReWater System will automatically supplement any shortage of recycled water with fresh water through the FW valve at the filter at midnight.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER Note that we have 40 minutes total watering time per cycle in Program A. If we had set t he next start time at 2:30 a.m., the start time would have been delayed until 2:40 a.m., enabling the first cycle to finish as programmed.
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER ATERING SCHEDULE FORM SAMPLE For your convenience, a Watering Schedule Form, with a Quick Reference Card on the backside, is provided. Use the form to plan and record your automatic watering activities. Use the quick reference instructions when minor programming changes are required. Keep the card with the controller by attaching it to the inside front door.
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER ETTING THE CURRENT TIME AND DATE Before you can program the controller for automatic watering, you must set the controller clock to the current time and date. This controller features a 365 -day calendar with automatic leap year compensation.

Installation Procedures This section includes instructions for mounting the controller cabinet and making the necessary wiring connections. To ensure safe operation, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. The following procedures include: I. Selecting an Installation Site II. Mounting the Controller III.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES OUNTING THE ONTROLLER 1. Center the mounting template (supplied) on the wall at about eye level allowing a minimum of 14" (35.6cm) to the left of the template for cabinet door clearance. Using a small center punch or nail, mark the wall at the three mounting hole locations. Note: When installing the controller on a plasterboard or masonry wall, use the appropriate type screw anchors to prevent the mounting screws from stripping.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ONNECTING THE ALVE IRING FIRST, CONNECT THE EARTH GRD LUG ON THE PC BOARD TO A GROUNDING ROD 1. Use the lower numbered screw terminals for the dedicated freshwater valves (see page 8). 2. Use the higher numbered screw terminals for the recycling valves. Caution: All wiring splices must be waterproof to prevent short circuits and corrosion.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ONNECTING A ENSOR COMPLETE CONTROL ® is designed for use with a normally-closed rain sensor or “Rain Switch”. (Refer to page 7 for additional important rain switch information.) 1. Route the two wires from the sensor into the cabinet through the field wire access opening.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ONNECTING THE OWER IRES The controller has a built-in transformer which must be connected directly to a grounded three- wire 120 VAC power source, and an ERTH GRD lug that must be connected to a grounding rod prior to any other wire being connected. WARNING All electrical components must meet applicable national and local electrical codes including...
