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.
