now

ready

to

be

Important!

Make

sure

to

replace

2.4

Installing

the

Controller

in

the

Irrigation

System

lf

the

mounting

plate

[2]

is

attached

to

the

back

of

the

controller,

remove

it.

1.

Insert

the

mounting

coupling

[1]

in

the

rectangular

opening

on

the

mounting

plate,

aligning

the

word

"TOP"

imprinted

on

both

the

coupling

and

the

plate.

2.

Press

the

mounting

plate,

with

the

mounting

coupling

inserted

in

it,

against

the

back

of

the

irrigation

controller

and

push

upwards.

The

controller

mounting

plate

[2]

can

be

mounted

on

a

wall

using

two

screws

(not

included

in

the

kit),

in

which

case

the

mounting

coupling

[1]

is

not

used.

The

distance

between

the

controller

and

the

solenoid

is

limited

by

the

length

of

connecting

cable

between

them.

2.5

Wiring

the

Solenoids

in

the

DC-4,

DC-4S

and

DC-6S

Models

In

the

DC-4,

DC-4S

and

DC-6S

models,

connect

the

valves

to

the

cables

emerging

from

the

controller

according

to

the

illustration

and

explanation

below.

*

*In

specific

models

only.

Labeled

cables

emerge

from

the

controller

[1].

The

end

of

each

cable

is

protected

by

a

cover

that

must

be

removed

prior

to

connecting

the

cable.

The

cables

are

specifically

designed

to

connect

to

Galcon

DC

type

irrigation

valves

and

solenoids

[3].

The

controller

and

its

connections

are

waterproof.

To

safeguard

the

waterproof

characteristics,

compliance

with

the

following

is

essential:

-

Do

not

remove

protective

covers

from

cables

that

are

not

connected

to

valves.

Exposed

cable

ends

can

short-circuit

with

each

other

or

with

conducting

bodies.

e

Connect

the

cables

to

the

valves

(3)

using

the

special

waterproof

connectors

(2)

supplied

with

the

product.

See

illustration.

1.

Cut

away

the

covering

from

the

controller

cable

(1)

near

the

end

of

the

cable

and

expose

the

cable

leads

from

the

black

insulation.

The

solenoid

cables

have

three

wires:

white,

red

and

black.

Do

not

expose

the

three

wires

from

their

colored

insulation.

z

2.Connect

each

of

the

wires

to

a

waterproof

connector

(2).

3.

Three

wires

emerge

from

each

of

the

solenoids:

white,

red

and

black.

Cut

the

entire

exposed

segment

of

the

wires.

Connect

the

white

wire

from

the

solenoid

to

the

same

to

connector

which

you

connected

the

white

wire

from

the

controller,

and

apply

pressure

to

the

red

protruding

part

of

the

connector

with

a

pliers

until

it

is

aligned

with

the

base.

Connect

the

other

wires

in

the

same

manner:

red

with

red,

and

black

with

black.

See

the

illustration.

4.

Connect

as

many

of

the

other

controller

cables

to

solenoid

cables

as

there

are

valves

in

the

system.

Make

sure

that

each

valve

number

matches

the

number

on

the

cable

emerging

from

the

controller.

5.

Do

not

lengthen

the

cable

wires

except

in

the

DC-4L

and

DC-6S,

9S,

12S

models.

6.

In

the

DC-4L

and

DC-6S,

9S,

and

12S

models,

solenoids

can

be

connected

up

to

a

distance

of

50m.

The

cables

used

must

be

identical

to

the

solenoid

cables.

The

connections

are

made

in

the

same

manner.

*

The

grey

cable

(4)

connects

to

the

sensor

and

comes

with

the

DC-1S,

DC-4S

and

DC-6S

models

only.
