rotate…the…battery…compartment…cover…handle…to…the…11…o’clock…position…to…remove…
the…cover…(see…drawing).…Install…one…9-volt…alkaline…battery…into…terminal…clip…and…

“12:00”,…the…controller…is…ready…to…program.
IMPORTANT: To replace the battery compartment
cover, insert it with the handle in the “11” o’clock
position to avoid possible cover guide
pin breakage.

Do not plug transformer into power source until the controller is mounted.
5. connecTing a masTer valve or PumP sTarT relay
Mount…the…controller…10…to…15…feet…away…from…the…pump…start…relay…and…the…pump.…
notE:…to…operate…a…pump,…a…pump…start…relay…must…be…used.
connect…either…wire…from…pump…start…relay…to…controller…terminal…“M”,…connect…other…
wire…to…the…“c”…(common)…terminal.
Do not connect controller directly to pump start, it can damage the controller.
Connecting the controller to a pump is to be performed by a qualified
electrician only.
