Installing the Sprinkler Timer
If you must install it outdoors, use a
water-resistant cabinet, such as the
Rain Bird TC-2 Timer Cabinet. The
TC-2 is a heavy-duty, weather
resistant plastic case that lets you
convert any indoor timer to outdoor
use.
Choose a Proper Location
Choose a secure location where you can
easily reach the timer. We recommend
mounting the timer at eye level in a utility
room (garage, laundry room, etc.)
1. The mounting location must be within 5
feet (1,5m) of an electrical wall outlet.
NOTE:
To minimize electrical
interference, select a location at least
15 feet (4,6 m) away from high-draw
motors such as air conditioners,
refrigerators, or pool pumps.
2. When selecting a location, choose a flat,
stable vertical surface on which to mount
the timer. Make sure to allow enough
clearance for electrical conduit and
connections at the bottom of the timer
case.
Although this manual provides directions for
connecting the wiring to the timer, local
electrical codes may vary in their require-
ments for proper and safe installation.
NOTES:
This timer must be installed in
full compliance with local electrical
codes.
The ISM sprinkler timer must be
installed indoors only.
