Installation Guide

Installing the Ethernet Switch in an X Cabinet Enclosure

1. Halt all watering while you install the Ethernet switch.

 BaseStation 1000: Press the OFF button.

 BaseStation 3200: Turn the dial to the OFF position.

2. Open the internal door of the BaseStation X cabinet enclosure.

3. Find the orange power connector on the wires coming from the transformer. Gently pull the connector away
from the board to disconnect the power.

4. On the right side of the cabinet, locate the 3 mounting pins on the inner wall.

5. Partially thread a screw into the lower mounting pin.

6. Locate the notch on the long edge of the
Ethernet switch mounting plate, and then
position the notch on the partially
threaded screw.

7. Align the upper holes on the Ethernet
switch mounting plate with the upper
mounting pins, and secure the mounting
plate with screws.

8. Tighten the screw in the notch.

9. If it isn’t already connected, attach the
USB-style power connector to the Ethernet
switch port labeled PWR INPUT.

10. Attach the other end of the USB-style
power connector to either of the mini USB
ports on the control board.

11. Attach an Ethernet cable to the communication module (such as a
cell modem gateway or Ethernet radio) and to one of the ports on
the Ethernet switch.

12. Attach another Ethernet cable to the Ethernet switch and to the
back of the controller display.

13. In the third Ethernet port, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
wall jack.

14. Reconnect the orange power connector to the board in order to
restore power to the controller.

15. Verify that the LEDs on the communication module are illuminated.
