 Air Cannon Controller - multiple circuit

Installing Controller

To install the controller, follow the procedures in this manual corresponding 
to the following steps:

1. Mount the controller enclosure on a wall.

2. Wire individual air cannon solenoids to controller or, if air cannons are 

wired to a solenoid enclosure, wire solenoid enclosure to controller.

3. If using an external flow switch, wire dry contact to controller.

Mounting 
enclosure

WARNING

!

All electrical work must be done to National Electrical Code 
(NEC) standards.

1. Determine location for controller.

CAUTION

!

Do not mount controller in area subject to shock, vibration, 
temperatures exceeding 130°F (55°C), or explosion. Damage 
to controller circuitry could result.

2. Mount onto wall with fasteners.

3. Drill conduit holes in controller enclosure for solenoid and power wires. 

Use care not to damage internal components. Drill in most weather-proof 
location available on enclosure.

4. Using electrical connectors, route wires from solenoid valves to 

controller enclosure.
