Cabinet Installation

Selecting the proper installation site for the GDC is essential to safe

and reliable operation. The GDC features a weather resistant cabinet designed for indoor or outdoor installation.

The GDC should be installed on a vertical wall or other sturdy structure near

a grounded power source. Select a location that shades the controller during the

hottest hours of the day and provides as much protection from direct sunlight,

rain, wind and snow as possible. DO NOT mount the controller where it is

exposed to direct spray from the irrigation system.

For easy operation and better view of the display, install the GDC so that the

display is at or slightly below eye level.

Step 1 – Drill two pilot holes 15.25cm apart for the top keyholes of the

controller cabinet.

Step 2 – Install the top screws leaving approximately 5–6mm of exposed

screw to accommodate

the cabinet.

If mounting the cabinet on dry wall or

masonry, install the appropriate type of screw

anchors or fasteners to ensure secure installation.

Step 3 – Hang the cabinet using the top keyhole slots.

See

Figure 1.

Step 4 – Open the cabinet door and install the bottom two

screws to

secure the cabinet.
