Install the controller after you have programmed it. This controller will operate only with the Hydro-Rain
®
DC latching solenoid
that is included in the HRC-900 package. Replace the original solenoid on the valve to be connected to the controller with the
included Hydro-Rain
®
DC Solenoid (HRC-900-SD-MD) as follows: If more than one valve will be used with this controller you will
need to purchase additional Hydro-Rain DC latching solenoid modules. (# HRC-900-SD-MD).
1.
Make sure the main controller unit is fully inserted into the docking bay.
2.
Twist on the protective controller cover tight enough to ensure a waterproof, dirt-proof seal, but do not over-tighten.
3.
Remove the existing solenoids from the valves to be connected to the controller by twisting counterclockwise.
4.
Replace the solenoids you have just removed with the HRC-900-SD-MD solenoid(s) that is included with the controller. Twist
them clockwise onto the valves.
NOTe: If the new solenoids aren’t compatible with the threads of the valve, use the thread converter
that came with the controller to install them.
5.
Insert the solenoid jacks into the corresponding numbered valve ports on the back of the docking bay. Align the notches
on the plugs with the notches in the valve ports.
6.
Using the clip provided mount the controller on a valve solenoid for optimal accessibility and visibility.
