Controller Dimensions
Figure 3.2 shows the controller dimensions with the lid closed.
Figure 3.3 shows the dimensions of the controller box with the lid open. It indicates where holes should be drilled for wall or
panel mounting without using the supplied mounting tabs.
Figure 3.4 shows the depth dimensions of the controller. When installing on a wall or panel, make sure to allow adequate
space for opening the enclosure door or making electrical connections.

Pole Mounting
1. Remove the 4 nuts and 4 screws from the mounting kit.
2. With the enclosure open, drop 1 nut into each drilled corner of the box.
3. Use a screwdriver to push the nut down and set it in place.
Figure 3.5 Placing the nut in the enclosure
4. Place the 2 brackets on the back of the enclosure so that the flanges on the brackets will point toward the ground.
5. Attach the mounting brackets to the enclosure using 2 screws for each bracket. Make sure that the screws
properly thread into the nuts that you seated in steps 2 and 3.
6. Place 2 hose clamps over the mounting pole and tighten them until they are almost secure.
7. Place the flanges from the mounting bracket into each of the hose clamps.
8. Completely tighten the hose clamps until the entire controller unit is secure on the pole.

Placing Dome Connectors and Plugs in the Enclosure
When installed as directed, this product is rated IP-67 and can withstand temporary immersion in up to 1 meter of water. To
meet the IP-67 rating, the following conditions must be met.
lThe lid must be completely closed and screwed down.
lThe 6 ports must be plugged with either cord grips and cables, port plugs, or a combination of both.
lAdditionally, O-rings must be used as described below.
Attach plugs and dome connectors to the enclosure using the following steps.
1. Place a large O-ring over the threaded end of the plug or dome connector.
2. Screw the threaded end of the plug or dome connector through the bottom of the enclosure. Tighten it to “snug” and
then an turn it an additional half turn.
Do not over tighten.
3. Inside the enclosure, place the lock nut, concave-side-down, over the threaded end of the plug or dome connector
and tighten with a flat-head screwdriver and mallet. Tighten the lock nuts so that there is approximately 1 thread
showing above the nut.
4. Screw the dome nut onto the threaded connector. Tighten it to “snug” and then turn it an additional half turn.
19
Do not over tighten.
5. Thread sensor or electrical cables through the dome connectors for later wiring by a qualified electrical technician.
Tighten to approximately 15 in-lbs of torque.

Electrical Connections
Danger—Only properly trained and qualified personnel should install the controller described in this manual. This
instrument should be installed for use in non-hazardous locations only.

Power Options
The Con TROLL PROis available with 2 power options.
lDC-powered, which requires a 9-36 VDC supply as the primary power source. This model can trigger low-voltage
(<50 V) relays only. See "Input/Output Connections" on page 24
lAC-powered, which requires a 100-240 VAC as the primary power source. This model can trigger low-voltage
relays (<50 V) through the I/O board only (See "Input/Output Connections" on page 24), and high-voltage relays
(>50 V) through the AC board only.
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Recommendations
Before making wiring connections, discharge any static electricity from your body before touching circuit boards and
other internal components by touching a grounded metal object.
When making wiring connections, make sure to remain properly grounded by wearing an ESD wrist strap or similar
device.
Customer-Supplied Electrical Equipment
The end user must supply the following items.
l18-12 AWG wire for electrical connections using conduit or 100-240 VAC power supply
l24-12 AWG cable for connecting relays and PLC devices
lFor hard-wired locations using conduit, a 100-240 VAC or 9-36 VDC source with over current/disconnect protection
will be provided by the end user.
lFor cord-connected plug and socket locations, approved suitable wiring to be provided by the end user.
Ensuring Dome Connectors are Water-Tight
The dome connectors that you installed must be tightened securely after sensor cable or electrical cables are routed through
them.
These dome connectors are not meant to be weight-bearing.
For best results, ensure that the following conditions are met.
lThe cable does not slide or move after the connectors are tightened.
lSufficient cable has been threaded through the connector so that secure wiring connections can be made.
lThere is no weight or force from the water pulling on the cable.
Ensuring Good Electrical Connections
To ensure that all sensors and power sources function properly consider the following recommendations.
