Programming

How Programming Works
This controller has been designed with 5 separate programs to allow different landscape areas to have their own individual watering schedules

  • A PROGRAM is a method of grouping zones (valves) with similar watering requirements to water on the same days. These zones will water in sequential order and on the days selected
  • Group the zones (valves) which are watering similar landscape areas together. For example, turf, flower beds, gardens–these different groups may require individual watering schedules, or PROGRAMS
  • Set the current time and correct day of the week. If odd or even day watering is going to be used, make sure the current year, month and day of the month is correct
  • If left unattended for over 1 minute, the LCD display will return to AUTO no matter the position of the MAIN DIAL. If you were in the process of programming this controller, turn dial to AUTO and then back to the position you were programming to continue

Set Automatic Program

Set the automatic PROGRAM for each group of zones (valves) by completing the following three steps:

  1. Set watering START TIMES
    • For each start time, all the zones (valves) selected for the PROGRAM will come on in sequential order
    • If two start times are set, the zones (valves) will come on twice
  2. Set WATER DAYS
  3. Set ZONE RUN TIME (durations)

This controller has been designed for quick intuitive programming. Remember these simple tips for hassle free programming:

  • One push of a button will increment one unit
  • Holding a button down will fast scroll through units
  • During the programming, only flashing units are able to be set
  • Adjust flashing units using + or –
  • Press LEFT or LEFT to scroll through settings as desired
  • The MAIN DIAL is the primary device for selecting an operation
  • Press to select different PROGRAMS. Each push on this button will increment one PROGRAM number

Installation

Mounting Controller

  • Install the controller near a 240VAC outlet–preferably in a house, garage, or exterior electrical cubicle
  • For ease of operation, eye level placement is recommended
  • Ideally, your controller location should not be exposed to rain or areas prone to flooding or heavy water
  • This inbuilt controller comes with an internal transformer and is suitable for outdoor or indoor installation
  • The housing is designed for outdoor installation but the plug needs to be installed in a weatherproof socket or under cover
  • Fasten the controller using the key hole slot positioned externally on the top centre and the additional holes positioned internally under the terminal cover

Power Supply Connections

  • It is recommended that the transformer is not connected to a 240VAC supply also servicing or supplying motors (such as air conditioners, pool pumps, refrigerators)
  • Lighting circuits are suitable as power sources

Electrical Hook-up

  • Installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions and all Local, State and Federal codes
  • Disconnect all 240VAC power before commencing any wiring or valve connection
  • Avoid connecting to a 240VAC supply also servicing motors (ie. pool pumps, refrigerators, etc.)

Field Wiring Connections

  1. Prepare wire for hook-up by cutting the wires to the correct length and stripping approx. 6mm of insulation from the end to be connected to the controller
    • A maximum of 2 solenoid valves can be run off each output
  2. Ensure terminal block screws are loosened sufficiently to permit easy access for wire ends
  3. Insert stripped wire ends into the clamp aperture and tighten screws
  4. Do not over tighten as this may damage the terminal block
    • A maximum of 0.75 amps may be supplied by any output
  5. Check the inrush current of your solenoid coils before connecting more than two valves to any one zone

    • Use a 1 amp fuse

Master Valve Installation

  • For a detailed illustration of valve installation, view page 32
  • The purpose of the master valve [connected to the PUMP terminal] is to shut off the water supply to the irrigation system when there is a faulty valve or none of the zones are operating correctly
  • It is used like a backup valve or fail safe device and is installed at the start of the irrigation system where it is connected to the water supply line

Rain Sensor Connection

  • For a detailed illustration of rain sensor connection, view page 32
  • A rain sensor detects rainfall and tells the controller to suspend watering, resuming after the sensor dries out
  • This is wired between the SENSOR TERMINAL [SENS] and the COMMON [COM] as shown belowK-RAIN-KRC9-Professional-Irrigation-Controller-FIG-26

Zone Valve Installation

  • Up to two 24VAC solenoid valves can be connected to each zone output and wired back to the Common [COM] connector
  • With long cable lengths, voltage drop can be significant, especially when more than one coil is wired to a zone
  • As a good rule of thumb select your cable as follows:
  • 0–50m cable dia 0.5mm
  • 50–100m cable dia 1.0mm
  • 100–200m cable dia 1.5mm
  • 200–400m cable dia 2.0mm
  • When using multiple valves per zone, the common wire needs to be larger to carry more current. In these circumstances choose a common cable one or two sizes larger than required
  • When making connections in the field, only ever use gel filled or greased filled connectors. Most field failures occur due to poor connections. The better the connection here, and the better the waterproof seal the longer the system will perform without trouble

Pump Relay Connection

  • This controller does not provide mains power to drive a pump–a pump must be driven via an external relay and contactor (pump start) setup
  • The controller provides a low voltage signal that actuates the relay which in turn enables the contactor and finally the pump
  • Although the controller has permanent memory and thus a default program will not cause erroneous valve actuation, it is still good practice when using a system where the water supply comes from a pump to connect unused zones on the unit back to the last used zone
  • This in effect, inhibits the chances of the pump ever running against a closed head

Pump Protection

  • In some circumstances not all operational zones may be hooked up–for example, if the controller was capable of running 6 zones but there were only 4 field wires and solenoid valves available for connection
  • This situation can pose a risk to a pump when the system test routine for the controller is initiated
  • The system test routine sequences through all available zones on the controller
  • In the above example this would mean zones 5 through to 6 would become active and would cause the pump to operate against a closed head
  • This could possibly cause permanent pump, pipe and pressure vessel damage
  • It is mandatory if the system test routine is going to be used, that all unused, spare zones, should be linked together and then looped to the last working zone with a valve on it
  • Using this example, the connector block should be wired as per the diagram below

Pump Installation
It is recommended to always use a relay between the controller and the pump starter for single phase pump installationK-RAIN-KRC9-Professional-
