Mounting the Controller to a Wall

All necessary hardware is included for most installations.

1. Use the hole at the top of the controller as a reference and

secure a 1" (25 mm) screw into the wall. Note: Install screw

anchors if attaching to drywall or masonry wall.

2. Align controller with the screw and slide the keyhole

on top of the controller over the screw.

3. Secure controller in place by installing screws in the holes.

For PCC-601-A and PCC-1201-A: If the supply cord is damaged,

it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent or a

similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

NOTE

The indoor Pro-C is not weather or water resistant, and

must be installed indoors or in a protected area. This device

is not intended for use by young children. Never let children

play with this device.

Outdoor model is water and weather resistant. Connecting

the outdoor Pro-C to the primary power should be done

by a licensed electrician following all local codes. Improper

installation could result in shock or fire hazard. This device

is not intended for use by young children. Never let children

play with this device.

Connecting AC Power

Indoor Cabinet

Route transformer cable through the hole on the bottom left

side of the controller and connect one Yellow Wire to each of the

screws marked AC and the Green Wire to GND.

NOTE

To be performed by a licensed electrician only.

Always use UL listed ½" (13 mm) conduit with male adapter

when installing AC wiring. Pro-C/PCC controllers are intended

to be supplied AC power with a 15A rated overcurrent

protected device.

Outdoor Cabinet

1. Route AC power cable and conduit through the ½" (13 mm)

conduit opening on the left side of the bottom of the cabinet.

2. Connect the wires to the transformer wires located inside the

junction box. International units are supplied with a built in

terminal strip. Always use a UL listed conduit ½" (13 mm) male

adapter when installing the AC wiring.

3. Insert the adapter into the ½" (13 mm) hole at the bottom of the

controller. Attach a nut to the adapter inside the enclosure.

4. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the battery

terminals and place in the battery compartment in the front

panel. The battery allows the user to program the controller

without AC power. Watering will not occur without AC power.

Since this controller has non-volatile memory, the program

clock and calendar will be retained during a power outage even

if no battery is installed.

Connecting Station Wires

1. Route valve wires between control valve location

and controller.

2. At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire

of all valves. This is most commonly a white colored wire.

Attach a separate control wire to the remaining wire

of each valve. All wire splice connections should be

done using waterproof connectors.

3. Route valve wires through the conduit and attach conduit

to one of the openings on the bottom of the cabinet.

4. Strip ½" (13 mm) of insulation from ends of all wires.

Secure the valve common wire to “COM” (Common) terminal.

Attach all individual valve control wires to the appropriate

station terminals.
