INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor 8200 Series can be easily mounted indoors. Find a
location near a 120V receptacle (230/240V for 8274, 8276, and 8279 models).
Install the EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor near eye level if possible. Install the top screw in
the wall and adjust the depth for a snug fit when the controller is suspended
on the screw. Remove the wiring skirt and suspend the controller on the first
mounting screw and insert and tighten the second screw through the lower hole
provided in the case (pre-drilled or anchors as necessary).
Low Voltage Wiring
Low voltage output cables should be enclosed in conduit affixed near the
controller. (For field connection, AC wires must have an insulation rated at
75° C minimum). Conduit should be secured near the case (follow local codes).
Field wiring is best accomplished with the AC disconnected from the unit.
Terminal Strip
All zone, pump and sensor wire connections made inside the EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor
utilize screw type connectors that require a small screwdriver. The terminal
strips in the controller accept 12 AWG (2.1mm) wire or smaller. (See figure 1)
Connecting aster Valve or Pump-Start Relay
The EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor is equipped with a shared circuit to operate either a
pumpstart relay or a master valve. Connect one wire from the pump-start relay
to COM (common) on terminal strip, the other to PMP/MV (pump/master valve)
on the terminal strip. Refer to the pump-start relay manufacturer’s instructions
for specific installation details. (See figure 1)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting Rain/ oisture Sensor
The EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor is equipped to operate a sensor with normally-closed
leads. To install a sensor, remove the factory-installed jumper wire from the
sensor connector on the terminal strip and insert the sensor wires. Refer to the
sensor manufacturer’s instructions for specific installation details. (See figure 1)
If a sensor has suspended watering, the sensor indicator segment will appear
on the LCD. The symbol will go off when the sensor has dried out. The
EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor will resume operation based on the selected program.
NOTE: anual operations will ignore the rain sensor
Connecting the Batteries and Starting the Controller
Remove the wiring skirt. Insert two new AA Alkaline (LR6 in Europe) batteries
into the battery clips in the pocket directly above the terminal strip. The AA
batteries enable the EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor to be programmed without AC power
and maintain the programs and real time clock in the event of a power outage.
If the batteries are not installed, the controller will lose real time and programs
in the event of a power outage. The batteries should be replaced every five years,
or when low battery symbol appears. Replace the batteries while the unit is AC
Powered to prevent loss of clock and settings. (See figure 1)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting the Transformer
120 VAC in United States, Canada and Mexico; 230 VAC in Europe, and
240 VAC in Australia and South Africa
NOTE: Refer to and follow local codes if different from these instructions.
CAUTION: Disconnect 120V (230/240V for 8274, 8276, 8279 models) power
Connect the AC Power connector from the transformer to the plug provided on
the left side of the terminal strips and route the cable through the slot provided
in the case.
Attach the wiring skirt to the unit.
Plug the AC power adaptor into the nearest receptacle.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Programming Overview
The EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor can be programmed under AC power or powered from
the two AA alkaline batteries. Before programming the EZ Pro™Jr. Indoor, it
may be helpful to become familiar with some general programming guidelines:
• If a segment(s) on the LCD is flashing, it means that it can be changed
by the user.
• When using keys, hold the button three seconds to start a fast scroll.
• Be sure the appropriate program letter is displayed when you are
programming; program changes are specific to the program letter
displayed on the LCD.
• There is no “ENTER” key. Key-presses and dial settings are stored
automatically for you.
• If you make a programming change while a program is running, the
program terminates immediately. The new program starts at the next
start time scheduled.
• When not running, the controller displays the current time and the current day.
• During manual operations, there is a 5-second delay before the operation
begins. During this time, you can change your settings. Each time you
make a change, the delay resets to 5 seconds.
• MANUAL and CYCLE procedures only operate with the Program dial set
in the AUTO position.
• After a test procedure runs, the controller reverts back to the AUTO
procedure and runs the next program scheduled.
• The test procedures ignore the sensor connection; this allows
you to water or run your program even if the sensor has
suspended operation.
• To clear all programs and start over, press and hold SELECT ‘–’ and
ADJUST ‘–’ for three seconds
• Only one start time is needed per cycle. All programmed zones will
run sequentially.
• All three programs are independent and will run if programmed
regardless of dial position.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Front Panel Layout
Looking at the front panel (See figure 3), you see a large LCD, 4 rubber
buttons, one large rotary dial, and two small rotary dials. The rubber buttons
are marked SELECT and ADJUST and are the core of Signature’s exclusive
SELECT&ADJUST programming. The keys are identified with ‘+’ or ‘–’ for
increasing or decreasing the segment you’re working on.
SELECT&ADJUST works on the principle that you first SELECT what you want
to set, and ADJUST the variables of what you selected. For example, if you
want a run time of 10 minutes on zone 5, you would use the SELECT keys to
select zone 5 and, once on zone 5, you would use the ADJUST keys to set the
run time to 10 minutes.
There are instances when only SELECT or only ADJUST are required.
They will be explained in this guide where appropriate.

NOTE: The ODE dial must be in the PROGRA position.
NOTE: Every time the ‘+’ or ‘–’ key is pressed, the display will increase
or decrease one unit. Hold the ‘+’ or ‘–’ key for three seconds to
initiate a fast scroll.
NOTE: Please refer to the Technical Data section for an explanation of the
LCD segments.
