MOUNTING CONTROLLER TO WALL
• Select an indoor location near a 120 VAC
outlet.The location should be protected from
moisture and sunlight
• Remove the mounting bracket from the back
of the controller
• Place the mounting bracket slightly below
eye level. Secure the bracket with #5 or #6
1" screws (Note: If installing on drywall,
install screw anchors).
• Align controller housing with 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,
followed by the blinking 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 5006-IP – 6 station controller
M = Master valve or pump controller
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 a controller is used 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.
CONNECTING A RAIN SENSOR
An interrupt type rain sensor can be connected to the controller.
The sensor connects directly to the controller sensor connection.
Connect either wire from sensor to the two sensor terminals on
the controller (see figure 1).

1/2 second (120 times every minute).
VALVE IS IN STANDBY MODE (WAIT)
When two valves are currently open,
and a third valve is scheduled to
open, the third valve will enter into a
wait mode.A blinking O will appear
above the number of the valve
which is on wait.
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
