Installing the Ethernet Switch in a Pedestal Enclosure
1. Halt all watering while you install the Ethernet switch.
 BaseStation 1000: Press the OFF button.
 BaseStation 3200: Turn the dial to the OFF position.
2. Open the front door of the BaseStation pedestal enclosure.
3. Look inside the pedestal at the upper-right of the back wall, and then choose one of the
following mounting locations:
 If you see an empty space with 3 mounting pins, use the Back Wall Mounting
Instructions.
 If you see an Ethernet radio module mounted in this location, use the Side Wall
Mounting Instructions on the next page.
Back Wall Mounting Instructions
1. Find the orange power connector
on the wires coming from the
transformer. Gently pull the
connector away from the board to
disconnect the power.
2. Locate the 3 mounting pins on the
back wall of the enclosure to the left
of the control board.
3. Align the holes on the Ethernet
switch mounting plate with the
mounting pins, and secure the
mounting plate with screws as shown
in the illustration.
4. Continue with the Power Connector
Instructions on the last page of this
document.

Side Wall Mounting Instructions
1. Find the orange power connector on the wires coming from the transformer. Gently pull the
connector away from the board to disconnect the power. See the photo on the previous
page for the location of the orange power connector.
2. Move the Ethernet radio module out of the way:
 Remove the screws used to mount the Ethernet radio module to the back wall. You
may be able to move the Ethernet radio module toward the center of the pedestal
without disconnecting the power and antenna cables. If not, remove the power and
antenna cables, and then set the Ethernet radio module aside in a clean location.
3. On the inside left wall, remove the nuts on the lower edge of the external antenna assembly,
and then remove the screws. Set the nuts aside to be reused later.
4. Align the holes on the Ethernet switch
mounting plate with the holes on the inside
wall of the pedestal.
Note: The photo on the right shows a cell
modem module on the mounting plate
with the Ethernet switch. The cell modem
module may not be present in your
configuration.
5. Locate the 2 long screws that were provided
with the Ethernet switch. Working from the
outside of the pedestal, push the screws
through the holes on the pedestal wall and
through the holes on the Ethernet switch
mounting plate.
6. Thread the nuts onto the screws and tighten
them.
7. Replace the Ethernet radio module and reconnect the power and antenna cables if
necessary.
8. Continue with the Power Connector Instructions on the next page.

Power Connector Instructions
1. Locate the 5-pin splitter that is included with the Ethernet
switch.
2. Inside the pedestal, locate the pair of 5-pin connectors
on the upper end of the control board.
Note: The photo below shows the dust cover removed
from the control board. You may not need to remove the cover to access the 5-pin
connectors.
3. Carefully remove the plug from the lower
connector.
4. Attach the 5-pin splitter onto the lower
connector.
5. Attach the plug that you removed from the
control board onto one of the connectors on
the 5-pin splitter.
6. Attach the end of the power cord from the
Ethernet switch to the other connector on the
5-pin splitter.
7. Attach the 3’ Ethernet patch cable to the
Ethernet switch and to the back of the
controller display.
8. Attach an Ethernet cable to the communication module (such as a cell modem gateway or
Ethernet radio) and to one of the ports on the Ethernet switch. Repeat this step for any
additional communication modules.
9. In another Ethernet port, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet wall jack, if needed.
10. Reconnect the orange power connector to the board in order to restore power to the
controller.
11. Verify that the LEDs on the communication module(s) are illuminated.
12. Close the enclosure door, and then restart the controller.
