3.6 

Disconnecting the Pro Max-UA from a Non-Rain Master Controller 

To disconnect the universal adaptor, use the following procedure: 

Step 1

  Disconnect the large 37 pin connector plug from the universal adaptor by 

grasping the plug’s body, not by the cable, and pull straight out. 

3.7 Non-Rain 

Master 

Controllers Lacking 24 Volts AC 

24 Volts AC is required to power the Universal Adapter. If 24 Volts AC is not available from the 
controller, use a step-down transformer to convert from the line voltage (usually 117 or 240 
Volts AC) to 24 Volts AC and run the 24 Volts AC wire into the PC cable to the two wires 
designated for 24 Volts AC and COMMON. There is no need to worry about the polarity of 
these two connections. Additionally, connect the PC cables COMMON wire to the controller’s 
COMMON terminal. Do not connect the PC cables 24 Volts AC wire to the controller.
