mounting bracket. Slide the controller
down into position on the bracket.
DO NOT PLUG TRANSFORMER INTO
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE
CONTROLLER IS MOUNTED AND ALL
VALVES HAVE BEEN CONNECTED.
BACK-UP BATTERY INSTALLATION
Rotate the battery compartment
cover handle to the 11
o’clock position to remove
the cover (see drawing).
Insert battery.All
controller display
elements will briefly
appear on the display,

time “12”– the controller is
now ready to be programmed.
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.
The battery is intended for irrigation program backup only.During
electrical outages the program will not be erased, however,valves
will not operate.
CONNECTING VALVES AND TRANSFORMER
1. Install control wire between valve location and controller
2. At the valve, connect a common wire to either solenoid wire of
all valves. Connect a separate wire to remaining wire of each
valve.Waterproof all wire splice connections.
3. Remove cover from controller to access the terminal strip area.
4. Connect valves common wire to “C”(common) and individual
valve wire to appropriate valve # on the controller terminal (see
Figure 1).
5. Insert transformer wire through the hole in the bottom of the
controller and connect the wire to the two screws marked
“AC”. (Polarity does not matter.)
Do not plug transformer into power source until the controller
is mounted.
Model 5004 – 4 valves
Model 5006 – 6 valves
CONNECTING A MASTER VALVE OR PUMP START RELAY
The controller must be mounted 10 to 15 feet away from pump
start relay and the pump when controller used to operate a pump,
a pump start relay must be used.
Connect either wire from pump srart 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.
CONNECTING A RAIN SENSOR
An interrupt type rain sensor can be connected to the controller.
The sensor connects directly to the controller sensor terminal.
Connect either wire from sensor to the two sensor terminals on
the controller (see figure 1).

Press and icon will
appear.The controller is
shut down. Press to
return to the original
programming. (The
icon will disappear.)

possibilities are:
•The valve is in standby
mode (WAIT). icon will flash once every two seconds (30
times every minute).
•Valve is in“short mode”. The icon will flash once every 1/2
second (120 times every minute).
VALVE IS IN STANDBY MODE (WAIT)
Standby mode – (WAIT) i.e.
the valves are programmed
to open, and two valves are
already open.
To check that the valve is
in (WAIT) mode,select the
flashing valve and return to
the manual position. If the
appears, then the valve is in (WAIT) mode.
NO POWER
“AC Off” appears on the
display during controller
irrigation program
execution, or during
“manual” irrigation system
operation via the irrigation
controller, when no power
is delivered.
In this situation, the controller can be programmed,but cannot
operate the valve.
VALVE IN MODE
(A short-circuit in the
solenoid or wiring.)
To check if the valve is
short-circuited, select the
flashing valve and move to
the manual position. If
appears, then the

display, meaning that no
irrigation period has been
set for the current valve. In this case,the irrigation controller “does
not know” when to close the valve.
In this situation valve opening is disabled.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
a. Check the wiring on the controller’s terminal strip and on the
valves, at the beginning of a new season.
b. Clean the system head filter once every few months.A blocked
filter is asking for trouble!
c. The battery should be removed if the irrigation controller will
not be in use for a prolonged period.
