ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
OF CONTROLLER UNITS
MODELS 510.XXXP AND 510.075P
If the mounting plate [2] is
attached to the controller,
remove it.
1. Insert the mounting coupling [1]
into the mounting plate, aligning
the words“top”, which are
stamped on both the coupling,
and the plate.
2.Press the mounting plate,with
the mounting coupling inserted,
against the irrigation controller
back.
WALL ORVALVE MOUNTING
The controller mounting plate [2] can be mounted on a wall
using two screws,in which case mounting coupling [1] is not
used.The distance between the controller and the solenoid is
limited by the length of its connecting cable. To mount
controller on a valve, use plate #1.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION OF
MODEL 510.075-100 AND 510.000P
1. Shut the main irrigation system
valve.
2. Before installing the hydraulic valve
[5] in the irrigation system, remove
the solenoid [1] from the valve with
a 90° counter-clockwise turn.Be
careful not to lose the seal (O-Ring
#2) [3].
3. Install the hydraulic valve in the
irrigation system, paying attention to
the correct water flow direction, as
indicated by the arrow [4].
4. After installing the hydraulic valve [5],assemble the solenoid
with a 90° clockwise turn.Be sure to place the seal (O-Ring #1)
[3] in its proper location.
MANUAL-MECHANICAL OPERATION
The valve can be opened and closed
independent of controller operation.
Manual operation is useful when
immediate irrigation is required, without
the delay of controller programming.
The 3-position valve handle [A] is located on the solenoid Manual
valve,and functions as follows:Open [1],Automatic Operation
[AUTO],Closed [2].
IMPORTANT: For automatic operation,the valve handle must
be in the middle [AUTO] position.

INSTALLING THE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER
Your controller can be installed in line directly to PVC pipe fittings,
(inlet female pipe thread,outlet female pipe thread)
NOTE: Wrap all fittings with teflon tape.Do not use thread
paste on valve as this will damage the valve and void your
warranty.
NOTE: The controller can be mounted in any position.We
recommend a short test cycle before attaching your lines to
the outlet side.
IMPORTANT: Make sure flow direction arrow is pointed away
from water source.Never use the controller unit as a handle
for tightening the valve to the pipe.
