Safety Information

WARNING
Special precautions must be taken
when valve wires (also known as
station or solenoid wires) are locat-
ed adjacent to, or share a conduit
with other wires, such as those
used for landscape lighting, other
“low voltage” systems or other
“high voltage” power.
Separate and insulate all conduc-
tors carefully, taking care not to
damage wire insulation during
installation. An electrical “short”
(contact) between the valve wires
and another power source can
damage the controller and create a
fire hazard.
All electrical connections and wiring
runs must comply with local build-
ing codes. Some local codes require
that only a licensed or certified
electrician can install power. Only
professional personnel should in-
stall the controller. Check your local
building codes for guidance.
Outdoor controller shall be
permanently connected to fixed
wiring by a flexible cord, and
have a cord anchorage. The cord
anchorage shall relieve conductors
from strain, including twisting,
at the terminals and protect the
insulation of the conductors from
abrasion.

CAUTION
Stationary appliances not fitted
with means for disconnection from
the supply mains having a contact
separation in all poles that provide

age category III, the instructions
state that means for disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring in accordance with the
wiring rules
This appliance can be used by chil-
dren aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or

understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by

For controllers not provided
with supply cord, the fixed
installation must include a dis-
connecting device for all three
poles suitable for overvoltage
category III protection.
