Connecting the Power Source - Outdoor Models
WARNING: All electrical components and connection
methods must comply with all applicable national and local
electrical codes including installation by qualified person-
nel . These codes may require a junction box installed on
controller's 1/2" (13mm) NPT nipple and a means in the fixed
wiring of disconnecting AC power having a contact separation
of at least 0 .120" (3mm) in the line and neutral poles . The
connection wire must have insulation rated @ 105° C min .
The controller must be connected to a grounded power
source . Do not connect to one phase of a 3-phase power
supply used by a pump or other electrical equipment .
Prior to connecting controller wiring, verify that power has
been turned off at the source by using an AC volt meter .
1 . Install a 1/2" (13mm) NPT conduit body to the transformer thread-
ed fitting . From the conduit body, install electrical conduit routing to
the AC power source (per electrical code) .
2 . Pull 14 AWG through the conduit into the conduit body .
3 . Using twist-on wire connectors, attach the mating wires as shown
in Figure 10 .
4 . Close and secure the conduit body cover .
5 . Apply power to the controller and check controller operation . If
the controller is not operating, disconnect the power at the source
and have a qualified electrician check for possible short circuit .
CAUTION: For maximum
protection of the controller
electronic components when
installed outdoors, always
keep the cabinet cover closed
and locked whenever possible .
Store the cabinet keys in a safe,
convenient location .
