Cabinet Installation
Selecting the proper installation site for the 2-wire decoder is essential to safe
and reliable operation. The 2-wire decoder features a weather resistant cabinet designed for indoor or outdoor installation.
The TDC 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 is
exposed to direct spray from the irrigation system.
For easy operation and better view of the display (Stand-alone model),
install the TDC so that the display is at or slightly below eye level.
Step 1 –
Drill two pilot holes 15.25cm apart for the top keyholes of the
controller cabinet.
Step 2 –
Install the top screws leaving approximately 5–6mm of exposed
screw to accommodate
the cabinet.
If mounting the cabinet on dry wall or
masonry, install the appropriate type of screw
anchors or fasteners to ensure secure installation.
Step 3 –
Hang the cabinet using the top keyhole slots.
See
Figure 1
.
Step 4 –
Open the cabinet door and install the bottom two
screws to
secure the cabinet.
