Get your indoor AC controller running smoothly.
Step 1: Mount Indoors
Secure the timer to an interior wall (like a garage or utility shed) using the included mounting hardware. Ensure it is located near a standard 110V electrical outlet.
Step 2: Connect Power
Plug the attached transformer directly into your 110V wall outlet to supply power to the unit.
Step 3: Wire the Valves
Run multi-strand irrigation wire from your outdoor 24V AC valve manifolds into the building. Strip the ends and connect the common wire to the ‘COM’ terminal, and the individual valve wires to terminals 1 through 6.
Step 4: Program via Dial
Turn the dial to set the current time and date, then rotate it through the stations to easily input your desired watering days, start times, and run durations.
