Manufacturer’s Note:
Whenever the fuse 'trips' it is recommended that all valves and valve wiring be
inspected for 'short circuits'. Excessive tripping of the fuse will shorten its lifetime, requiring factory service and
grower loss of use. Short circuits may be caused by crossed wiring, improper grounding techniques, damaged
valves, moisture collection, or an internal controller malfunction.
"Time Extender Block”
Equipped with an additional feature; the "Time Extender". The "Time Extender" is a three (3) position toggle
switch which will multiply the "Seconds of On Time" and "Minutes Between Cycle" times by one (1X), two
(2X), or three (3X), depending on switch position. Selection of the 1X position indicates that the "Seconds of
On Cycle" and "Minutes Between Cycle" periods will be as they are marked. Selection of the 2X position of
the "Time Extender" will double all time periods, and selection of 3X will triple the time periods.
Example #1:

NOTE:
Controllers have water-tight, easy-turn switches to endure many years of continued use. Each switch
has a fixed stop position at the minimum and maximum selectable time. DO NOT force the
switches past the minimum or maximum times available for your model.
Installing Your Controller
We would highly recommend using a surge protector when operating your misting controller; so it will stop voltage
spikes and surges that could damage your controller, such damage is not covered by your warranty.
CONTROLLER LOCATION:
Selecting the proper location for mounting your new controller is important, and there are several guidelines
you should follow to insure long and satisfying service.
1) HEAT: Avoid locations of excessive heat, such as extended exposure to direct sunlight and locations near
heaters or boilers.
2) LIQUIDS: Select a location where the controller is away from direct and continuous flooding from liquids.
When water is sprayed on the controller, the water will get inside and on the circuit board shorting it out. This
will cause damage not covered by the warranty.
3) POWER: 24V plug in transformer supplied.
CONTROLLER MOUNTING:
Your new controller is supplied with all necessary mounting hardware for
a typical installation. For hollow-wall or concrete mounting surfaces, additional hardware may be required to
secure the controller properly. Pre-drill the marked locations with a 1/8” or smaller starter hole. Install the two
(2) bottom mounting screws, leaving approximately 1/16” between the head of the screw and the mounting
surface. Test fit the controller by inserting the bottom mounting holes over the head of the mounting screws.
Loosen or tighten the mounting screws as required, to provide a snug- fit between the controller and mounting
surface.
Starting Your Controller
After you have selected and mounted your controller, and wired the solenoid valves, you are ready to begin
misting operations. Improper grounding will void the warranty of the controller. Do Not connect solenoid
valves to the controller before verification and trial operation.
Connecting the 24VAC Power Plug:
Be sure the controller power switch is in the “off” position. Plug into connector. Ensure the power cord is
routed away from walkways and high traffic areas to prevent accidental interruption of power to the controller.
