1.
To create an opening in the silicon grommet ensure that WaterMe is on a secure surface.

Apply pressure carefully and release pressure once an opening has been made.
Standard Installation grommet incision
Smart Installation grommet incision
The sensor and valve wires are required to exit the controller via the bottom or rear grommet. The silicon grommet needs
to be cut to allow the sensor and valve wires to exit the controller. The WaterMe Wireless Irrigation Controller has two wire
grommets, one at the base of the controller for standard installation and one at the rear for smart installation.
The following process outlines the recommended method to make an incision and create an opening in the grommet.
For this process you will need the following:
Item
Type
1
WaterMe Wireless Irrigation Controller
2
Sharp utility knife
Caution
•
To minimise water ingression ensure that the opening is not oversize but large enough to allow wires to pass
through. If the unit is installed where there is a possibility of water ingress, it is advisable to seal the grommet
area with a suitable silicone sealant.
