Selecting the Installation Site
• Line-of-sight
If possible locate the controller where a majority of the landscape
can be viewed from one location.
• Proximity to AC power source
Long runs of both wire and conduit can add costs to your project.
In some applications, the accessibility to AC power may dictate the
location of the controller.
• Dedicated AC power source
If possible, the controller should be connected to a dedicated
120 VAC 15A circuit.
• Accessability
The controller should be easily accessable for installation setup
operation and system maintenance, yet secure from public access.
• Exposure
Avoid locating the controller where it will be exposed to irrigation
spray, afternoon sun, wind and snow.
• Communication interference
Avoid locating the controller adjacent to large power transformers
or above ground power vaults where electromagnetic energy could
impair reception.
