Installing the Wi-Fi Module

1. Remove all parts from the packaging.

2. Power down the controller.

3. Loosen the two screws on the top of the control
board cover.

4. Carefully remove the cover and set it aside.

5. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the rubber
plug from the antenna port on the top of the
cabinet.

6. Remove the nut and the lock washer from the
bottom of the antenna, and then insert the stem
of the antenna into the port on the top of the
cabinet.

7. From the inside of the cabinet, place the lock
washer on the stem of the antenna, and then
thread the nut onto the stem. Use a wrench to
tighten the nut sufficiently to ensure that the
antenna makes good contact with the outside
of the cabinet.

8. Partially thread one of the provided mounting
screws into the lower mounting pin (C) on the
inner top of the cabinet.

9. Connect the end of the antenna cable onto the
stem of the Wi-Fi module and hand-tighten it.

10. Position the notch on the edge of the Wi-Fi
module mounting plate on the partially
threaded screw (C). Tighten the screw so it holds
the mounting plate in place.

11. Align the holes on the Wi-Fi module mounting
plate with the mounting pins (A & B). Use the
screws provided to securely attach the module
inside the cabinet.

BL-3200WF-X Wi-Fi Module for X/XS Cabinet

Installation Guide

12. Carefully turn the Wi-Fi module in the
mounting bracket so the indicator lights are
visible.

13. Inspect the cable coming from the right end
of the Wi-Fi module. A label identifies the
RJ45 connector that is plugged into the Wi-Fi
module. If you ever need to disconnect or
replace this cable, make sure to plug the
labeled end into the Wi-Fi module. This cable
supplies power over Ethernet and plugging it in
incorrectly will damage the irrigation controller.

14. Notice that the cable coming from the right end of
the Wi-Fi module splits in two. The thin cable with the
white connector is the power cable. The thicker
cable is Ethernet.

15. Inspect the power cord to ensure that it is not
wrapped around the Ethernet cable. If it is, unwrap
it.

16. Plug the 5-pin connector on the power cable into
one of the 5-pin male power connectors on right
end of the controller board.
