System

1.1 Parts Identification

1. PVM Photovoltaic module harnesses the 

energy of light and generates the electricity 
to power the unit day and night in any of 
weather condition

2. Antenna

3. Stations and sensor wires

1.2 System Components 

To properly install the LEIT-2 controller, the following components will be
needed:

1. Control unit: LEIT-2, 2 station controller 

2. The controller is installed using 1 of 3 mounting 

configurations available:  

a. Valve box mounting dome, color: green

(Model 30-30)

b. Mounting column bracket

(Model 30-831)*

c. Valve clip attachment

(Model 30-832)

If the mounting column plastic attachment is used, a mounting column is also
needed. Use one of the two following mounting columns: model MCOL2S
(small) 25" (63 cm) or MCOL2L (large) 50" (128 cm) mounting column including
mounting tool kit with cement glue (to firmly attach mounting bracket to
column).
