INSTALLATION

Controller Installation

• Choose a proper place for

installation where you can connect
the device to an external power 6 FEET
source. Please make sure the
distance between the device and
the power socket is under 6 feet
(1.8 meters). Meanwhile, you
should leave proper heights and 3 IN.
space to install conduits of the
device.

the screw head and the
wall.

• You can tighten up both

holes on the bottom using
screws just in case, though
it would be uneasy to
disassemble them
afterward.

Wiring Connection

a) Connect zone valves

• Connect the power supply of each zone valve to the terminal of the controller,
corresponding to the station number.
• Connect the common line of each valve to the common port C.

1 2

20
b) Connect master valve (optional)
Optionally connect the master valve or the pump to the controller.
• Connect the power supply of the master valve or the pump to port M on the terminal of
the controller.
• Connect the common line of the master valve or the pump to the common port C.

c) Connect Pump Start Relay(optional)

Connect a selectable pump start replay to the IIC-800-WIFI controller.
Water pumps are used to extract water from wells or other water sources. If you want to
start up the water pump of the controller, you must install a pump start relay.
The connection of the pump start relay and the controller is the same as the main valve
does, but the connection of the water source is different.
Note: The IIC-800-WIFI controller does not provide the main power supply for the water
pump.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

21
d) Connect rain sensors (optional)
• Remove the jumpers on ports 24 VAC- and S1 (or S2) of the terminal. (Two rain
sensors can be connected at the same time.)

• Separately connect the 2 lines of the rain sensor to ports 24 VAC- and S1 (or S2).

22
Note:
• The 24 VAC- port is a common port.
• You must connect the S1 port and S2 port with the 24 VAC- port if there is no rain
sensor connected.

Power Supply Connection

• This controller adopts adapters following local safety regulations' certification,

convenient and safe.
• Insert the power output end into the PWR IN jack of the device.

• Put power lines into the line slots of the device.

Note:
PLEASE DO NOT turn on the power before confirming all lines are well-connected.
• Please cut off the power of the line if it's damaged. In that case, we suggest changing
a replacement line to avoid potential harm.

 Troubleshooting Guide
Q: The water supply is not available?
A: Please confirm if the water main is connected and if all water pipes are open
and work normally.

Q: Lines are loose or incorrectly connected?

A: Please confirm if the ground line and the main valve, or the triac, are steadily
connected to the controller, and firmly linked on the scene.

Q: Electrical wires on the scene are corroded or damaged?

A: Please install a replacement wire if the original one is damaged. You can install a
waterproof connector if needed.

Q: The rain sensor in connection being activated?

A: Please dry out the rain sensor or disconnect it to the terminal of the controller, and
then connect 2 SENS ports using the jumper.

Q: The jumper on the terminal that linked 2 SENS ports is missing or

damaged?
A: Link 2 SENS ports on the terminal of the controller with a jumper, which is 3 to 4 mm
thick.

Q: When the device displays "Time Error" and keeps alarming, and the
app shows that “The clock is abnormal, please check it in time ”,
does the device still work normally?
A: Please disconnect the power and then reconnect. If the problem is still not resolved,
please contact us.

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE TABLE

Before programming the controller, we suggest using this irrigation schedule table to
arrange watering work at each zone and keep it as a reference.
Name each zone one by one on the second column, such as the lawn on the front yard,
left side of the courtyard.
Determine the irrigation duration time of each zone on the third column.
Customize the watering start time of each zone on the fourth column (total 6 start times
programmable for each zone).
Select the cyclic days of irrigation on the fifth column by marking on the checkbox. If you
choose intervals, please enter the number from 1 to 9.
