Installing the Battery

CAUTION: To avoid hazards from improper
battery usage, always replace the battery with the
same or equivalent alkaline battery type. Properly
dispose of used batteries as recommended by the
battery manufacturer.
Open the controller door. Carefully swing the control module open by pulling it from the
right edge. Locate the battery compartment at the top of the module. Press down on
top of the the cover while pulling it outward to remove. Attach the battery wire clip to a
standard 9-volt alkaline battery. Position the battery in the compartment and reinstall
the cover. A flashing "12:00 AM" should show on the display. See Figure 1.
Note: The battery will power the clock, but it will not operate the valves.

Mounting the Controller

Locate your Rain Dial Plus indoor model in an area protected from weather, such as a
garage, within 5' (1.5m) of a grounded electrical outlet. The outdoor model can be
installed almost anywhere, but try avoiding exposure to direct sprinkler spray. The
controller must be powered by a grounded AC circuit which is not shared with
motorized equipment.
Use the mounting template (provided) to locate the mounting holes. Drive the top #10
screw into a wall stud, leaving about 1/4" (6.5 mm) exposed. Open the door to your
controller and pull forward on the right edge of the control module. Hang the controller
on the screw using the keyhole slot provided. To secure the controller, drive screws
through the lower mounting holes provided.
Note: The lower mounting hole locations on the outdoor cabinet have thin webbing
which can be easily removed with a 5/32" (4 mm) drill. Also, be sure to use screw
anchors if installing the controller on drywall or masonry.
CAUTION: The outdoor controller cover
must be closed and locked to protect the
electronic components from moisture damage.
Two keys are provided with each controller.
Be sure to keep the keys in a safe location.
