22 Ec Controller
CAUTION : To avoid electrical shock, DO NOT
plug in the transformer until you have connected it
to the controller.
To connect the transformer cable to the terminal strip in the
controller cabinet:
1. Make sure the transformer is NOT plugged in.
2. Plug the snap-on connector on the transformer cable into
the “24VAC” connection point on the controller terminal
strip.
3. Plug the transformer into any standard, three-prong 117
VAC grounded wall plug. For 230V versions, attach an
appropriate plug and plug in the transformer to a
230VAC power source.
Connect Field Wires to Remote
Control Valves
DIAGRAM 28
The wires coming back to the controller from the electric valves
in the field can be routed into the controller through the hole in
the bottom of the cabinet.
Mount the Controller
DIAGRAM 26
1. Hold the provided template against the wall in the desired
mounting location. Use a pencil to mark the location of the
three holes for the mounting fasteners, as shown on the
template.
2. Use a nail to tap a small pilot hole on each pencil mark for
the mounting fasteners. Using the mounting fasteners
provided, drive the top two fasteners into the wall.
3. Use the keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the controller
to hang the controller on the two mounting fasteners. Make
sure the shafts of the fasteners are well up into the narrow
part of the keyhole slot.
4. Remove the lower access cover and drive the third
mounting fastener through the hole in the controller’s lower
access panel.
Connect Main Power Wires
DIAGRAM 27
The Ec controller has an external transformer that reduces
standard supply voltage to 24 VAC to operate the remote valves
connected to the controller.
