SELECTING AN INSTALLATION SITE
Selecting the proper installation site for the controller is essential to safe and reliable
operation. The Total Control features a weather resistant cabinet designed for indoor or
outdoor installation.
For easy operation and better view of the display, install the controller so that the display is
at, or slightly below eye level.
The controller should be installed on a vertical wall or other sturdy structure near a
grounded power source. Select a location that shades the controller during the hottest hours
of the day and provides as much protection from direct sunlight, rain, wind and snow as
possible. DO NOT mount the controller where it will be exposed to direct spray from the
irrigation system.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER
1. Open the cabinet door and TM mounting plate. Position the controller on the wall and
mark the top mounting hole location (See item 30 on page 3).
2. Install the top mounting screw leaving the screw head about 1/4" (6 mm) out from
the wall.
NOTE:
Use the correct type of screws for the wall construction material. For masonry
or dry wall, install screw anchors to enable screws to be tightened securely.
4. Hang the controller on the screw. Install another mounting screw in the lower mounting
hole (See item 31 on page 3)and tighten both screws to ensure the controller is securely
fastened.
