Mounting The Controller; Converting The Solenoids - Irritrol IBOC Plus Guía De Usuario

MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER

1. Position the mounting template (provided) on the wall at
approximately eye level. Using a small punch or nail, mark the
locations of the top and bottom centerline mounting holes and
the additional lower holes if extra cabinet support is desired.
2. Drill pilot holes at least 1-1/4" (32mm) deep using a 3/32"
(2.5mm) drill for wall stud application, or 1/4" (6.5mm) drill for
masonry.
3. For the masonry wall installation only, insert the plastic screw
anchors (provided) into the pilot holes.
4. Place a small plastic washer and a rubber washer (provided) on each
screw. Install the #10 screws into the top and bottom locations
leaving the screw head about 1/2" (13mm) from the wall.
Note: If installing additional lower mounting screws, remove
plastic hole plugs at this time.
5. Unlock and open the cabinet cover. Remove the cover by sliding
it toward the top of the cabinet.
6. Remove the phillips screw from the right edge of the control panel
enabling the panel to swing outward.
7. To remove the control panel from the cabinet, first disconnect the
ribbon cable from the terminal board. With the panel in the fully
opened position, slide it toward the top of the cabinet.
8. Hang the cabinet on the screws using the keyhole slots. Ensure the
screws engage the slotted portion of the keyhole with the plastic
washer positioned between the screw head and the inner cabinet
wall. Tighten the screws securely. Install additional screws in the
lower left and/or right mounting holes as required.
9. Reinstall the control panel and cover.

CONVERTING THE SOLENOIDS

The IBOC Plus controller activates valves by means of an electric
pulse, which latches and releases the solenoid position rather than
providing continuous power to the solenoids. This requires a DC
latching solenoid for each irrigation control valve.
The DC latching solenoid is designed as a direct replacement for the
standard 24 V a.c. solenoid (which will not work with the IBOC Plus
controller). No additional adapting is required for solenoid installation.
