Primary Applications:
Indoor electromechanical controller for residential use. Ideal for areas subject to either electrical storm activity or power surges, as well as applications where programming ease is essential.

Features and Benefits:
  • Independent station timing knobs make this controller the easiest to program, read, and understand.
  • Electromechanical design for best reliability and electrical surge resistance.
  • 24-hour clock (automatic starts on any hour except midnight) allows automatic irrigation cycles day or night and provides for multiple, repeat cycles.
  • Easy, at-a-glance programming provides a visual display of the watering schedule.
  • Master valve/remote pump start circuit for optimal irrigation control.
  • External, plug-in transformer (U.S./Canada) provides convenient installation.
  • Front panel-mounted fuse for easy access and quick diagnostics.
  • Quick-connect plug on front panel for ease of installation.
  • Indoor-mount cabinet for clean-looking, professional installation.
  • Latch accepts padlock for greater security.
  • Compact size saves space. Master on/off switch allows shutdown for rain, winter season, and maintenance.
  • UL Listed; CSA, CE approved.
