The irrigation controller is designed to operate
standard electrical valves of up to 24VAC 2.2 W.
The valves are not supplied with the controller.
1. Close the main water valve.
2. Install valves in the irrigation system.
The main electrical valve may be installed at the
entrance to the irrigation system. The main valve
will open automatically when one of the valves is
open, and will automatically close with the closing
of the last valve.
The main valve is shown on the display panel and
on the connection toolbar by the letter M.
It is not necessary to program the main valve.
2. Mechanical Manual Operation
The irrigation valves may be opened/closed
unrelated to the operation of the controller. This
mode is useful when irrigation is necessary
immediately, and either a lock of time or
knowledge makes operating the irrigation
controller impossible.
The manual operating handle is located under the
solenoid.
1. To open the valve turn the handle counter-
clockwise (illustrated in 2)
2. To close the valve turn the handle clockwise
(illustrated in 1)
• When the electricity is turned on the valve
cannot be closed manually.
• To operate a valve with the controller, the
manually operated handle must be in a closed
position (1).
1. Adjusting the Irrigation Controller to the Valves
ATTENTION !
Direct water flow according to the arrow
above entrance pipe (A). (Illustration 1)
ATTENTION !
If there is a main manual valve, this
should also be opened manually

Installation and Wiring Instructions
ATTENTION !
It is recommended to position controller in
an accessible place and at eye-level.
• Open the controller door with the attached key.
• To get to the connector board, release the lock screws on the left
side of the controller beneath the main cover and open the panel.

Installation and Wiring Instructions
1. Controller Installation
Install the controller on the wall or in a controller cabinet by mounting it with two screws at the
designated holes . Use the included plugs to cover these screws.
Place a 9V Alkaline Non-rechargeable battery in the appropriate place.

Installation and Wiring Instructions
2. Adding or Replacing 4 Valve Module
Attention: Modules may be added or replaced only in the AC-800248 Model
In order to add or replace a 4 valve module the following procedures must be performed:
1. Turn selector to Testing mode.
2. Turn off electricity.
3. Wait one minute.
4. Remove battery.
5. With a "cross-head" screwdriver, open screws
on front of module.
6. Add or replace module with a push or pull as
shown in illustration.
7. Fasten screws at front of module.
8. Replace battery in position.
9. Turn on electricity.
* The number of valves the controller will now
operate will appear on the LCD display.
* The current time must be set.

Installation and Wiring Instructions
3. Connecting Solenoid Wires
General
Two wires identical in color and polarity are connected to each solenoid. One wire (either one) must
connect to the desired valve in module. The second wire must be connected to joint C point in
model. Distance between controller and valves usually are longer than solenoid wires. The valve
control cable may be used to connect wires. The valve control cable connects the controller to
solenoid connector box.
Valve Control Cable Features
• Valve control cable transmits only 24 volt
• Number of wires in valve control cable must be at least the same number of selected valves, in
addition to two – one for master valve and one for joint wire. To facilitate wiring, it is recommended
to use differently colored wires.
• It is recommended to use cable with larger number of wires to allow for additional valve
connections in future, or in order to substitute faulty wire.
• Minimum width of valve control cable wires must be 0.5 mm2. If valves are at a distance of more
than 100 meters from controller, consultation with Galcon is necessary in order to set correct width.
• Valve control cable must be xed on wall with nail clasps or alternately underground in properly
protective pipe.
• It is recommended not to use a cable composed of several connected parts. If necessary, the
cable parts should be connected with protective connection box.
• Connection of valve control cable to valves must be made with electrical connectors in properly
protective connector box (not included). It is recommended at the number if connection points in
designated box exceed number of valves.
