Installation Instructions
Mounting The Controller
This controller unit is an INDOOR MODEL and MUST not
be exposed to rain or water ingress.
(If the controller needs to be outdoors, you can purchase
a HOLMAN outdoor weatherproof box to mount the
controller inside.This box is available from your irrigation
supplier.)
Install the controller near a 240V AC mains outlet,
preferably located in a house, garage or other covered
area. For ease of operation, eye level placement is
recommended.
Drive one #8 screw into the wall, leaving about 4mm of
the screw exposed. If necessary, use a toggle bolt or
masonary shield.
Hang the controller from the key slot located in the back
of the case. Make sure the head is properly seated inside
the controller case. Additional screws may be inserted
through the holes in the lower corners of the controller
case.

To stop the automatic watering cycles during winter,
turn
the dial to the

position and then
press
the
back
and
next
buttons simultaneously.

To adjust in 25% increments, use
or
buttons.
