2: TYPICAL INSTALLATION

Determine where the Controller, Pressure Tank and

Transducer will be located before starting the installation.

Controller

The controller is rated NEMA 3R (Raintight) so it may be

located outdoors. It must be mounted vertically. Locate

the enclosure in a shaded area where the temperature stays

within 14ºF to +122ºF (-10ºC to +50ºC).

Opening Controller Cover

Lay the controller on a flat surface or hang

on wall before removing the cover screw.

Failure to do so may result in dropping and damaging the

unit. Once screw is removed, lift the cover up and out to

remove. There is a locking tab on the bottom of the unit to

accommodate a padlock if so desired.
