Owners Manual and Programming Instructions
Installation Instructions
Remove lower access cover. Place a screw into the wall and hang the controller from the
keyhole on the back. Secure the controller using one or more screws below the terminal
strip. One wire from each solenoid should be connected to the C terminal (common wire).
The other wire from each solenoid to its respective number on the terminal strip. Connect
the transformer wires to the 24 VAC terminal strip. Attach the two sensor wires (if needed)
to the SEN terminals. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the battery wire
clip. Plug the transformer into a nearby power outlet.
