Introduction
Your PRO469 Multi-Program Irrigation Controller is available in 6 and 9
station configurations. Designed to cover a wide range of applications from
residential and commercial turf, to light agriculture, and professional
nursery.
This controller has a possible 3 separate programs with up to 12 starts per
day. The controller has a 7 day watering schedule with individual day
selection per program or a 365 calendar for odd/even day watering or
selectable interval watering schedules from every day to every 15th day.
Individual stations can be allocated to one or all programs and can have a run
time of 1 minute to 12 hours 59 minutes or 25 hours if the water budget is set
to 200%. Now with “Water Smart Seasonal Set” which allows the automatic run
times to be adjusted in percentage from “OFF” to 200% per month.
We have always been concerned with sustainable water usage. The controller has
many water saving features that can be used to maintain the highest standard
of plant quality with the least amount of water consumption. The integrated
budget facility allows global changes of run times without affecting
programmed run times. This allows for decreasing total water consumption on
days of minimal evaporation.

Programming
This controller has been designed with 3 separate programs to allow different
landscape areas to have their own individual watering schedules
A PROGRAM is a method of grouping stations (valves) with similar watering
requirements to water on the same days. These stations will water in
sequential order and on the days selected.
L Group the stations (valves) which are watering similar landscape areas
together. For example, turf, flower beds, gardensthese different groups may
require individual watering schedules, or PROGRAMS
L 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
® To select a different PROGRAM, press . Each press will move to the next
PROGRAM number. This is handy for quick reviewing of previously entered
information without losing your place in the programming cycle

Installation
Mounting the Controller
® Install the controller near a 240VAC outletpreferably 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
Electrical Hook-up
All electrical work must be carried out in accordance with these instructions,
following all applicable local, state and federal codes pertaining to the
country of installationfailure to do so will void the controller’s warranty
Disconnect mains power supply before any maintenance work to the controller or
valves is undertaken
Do not attempt to wire any high voltage items yourself, i.e. pumps and pump
contactors or hard wiring the controller power supply to the mainsthis is the
field of a licensed electrician
Serious injury or death could result from improper hook upif in doubt consult
your regulatory body as to what is required
Field Wiring Connections
1. Prepare wire for hook-up by cutting the wires to the correct length and
stripping approximately 0.25 inches (6.0mm) of insulation from the end to be
connected to the controller
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
® Do not over tighten as this may damage the terminal block
® A maximum of 0.75 amps may be supplied by any output
4. Check the inrush current of your solenoid coils before connecting more
than two valves to any one station
Power Supply Connections
® It is recommended that the transformer is not connected to a 240VAC supply
which is also servicing or supplying motors (such as air conditioners, pool
pumps, refrigerators)
® Lighting circuits are suitable as power sources

Valve Installation and Power Supply Connection
® The purpose of the master valve is to shut off the water supply to the
irrigation system when there is a faulty valve or none of the stations are
operating correctly
® It is used like a back-up valve or fail safe device and is installed at the
start of the irrigation system where it is connected to the water supply line
13 of 20
Installation (continued)
Station Valve Installation
® Up to two 24VAC solenoid valves can be connected to each station output and
wired back to the Common (C) connector
® With long cable lengths, voltage drop can be significant, especially when
more than one coil is wired to a station
® As a good rule of thumb select your cable as follows: 050m cable dia 0.5mm
L 50100m cable dia 1.0mm
L 100200m cable dia 1.5mm
L 200400m cable dia 2.0mm
® When using multiple valves per station, 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
® To install a rain sensor, wire it between the Common (C) and the Rain Sensor
(R) terminals as shown

Pump Start Relay Connection
L This controller does not provide mains power to drive a pumpa pump must be
driven via an external relay and contactor setup.
L The controller provides a low voltage signal that actuates the relay which
in turn enables the contactor and finally the pump
Pump Protection (System Test)
® Although the controller has permanent memory and thus a default program will
not cause erroneous valve actuation as in some controllers, it is still good
practice when using a system where the water supply comes from a pump to
connect unused stations on the unit back to the last used station
® This in effect, inhibits the chances of the pump ever running against a
closed head
L In some circumstances not all operational stations may be hooked upfor
example, if the controller was capable of running 6 stations 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 stations on the
controller
® In the above example this would mean stations 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 stations, should be linked together and then looped to the last
working station with a valve on it
® Using this example, the connector block should be wired as per the diagram
below
Single Phase Pump Installation ® It is recommended to always use a relay between the controller and the pump starter
