External Repeater Installation Rain Bird Par+ Satellite Plastic Pedestal - Toro Turf Guard Installation Setup Manual

External Repeater Installation - Rain Bird Par+ Satellite - Plastic Pedestal
To complete this installation, you will need an EXTERNAL repeater, a power conversion board (to tie into the unit's 24
VAC power supply), and two 3/4" (19mm) #10 sheet metal screws.
The conversion board will first have to be modified before it can be installed: you will need to cut the red and black wires
just before the first plug. Then cut the yellow and other black wire from the board as shown in Figure 17.
Step 1 Turn the power source OFF to the Rain Bird Par+ satellite controller and remove the front plastic door.
Step 2 Mount the conversion board on the front of the satellite using the adhesive back. Older Rain Bird models
may require attaching the power conversion board in a different location due to space constraints – NEVER
MOUNT THE POWER CONVERSION BOARD TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE PEDESTAL.
Step 3 Cut the 3 plug cable assembly as shown in Figure 17. Connect the red wire running from the conversion board
to terminal 8 labeled Valve Hot. Connect the black wire to any of the open common slots (terminals 1–5).
See Figure 18.
Step 4 Mount the repeater on the side of the pedestal using two 3/4"
(19mm) #10 sheet metal.
Step 5 Using a 1/4" (6.4mm) drill bit or larger, drill a hole through the sidewall
of the pedestal and pull the repeater cable through to the inside.
Step 6 Strip the end of this repeater cable so an inch or more of the
two wires inside is exposed.
Step 7 Next, locate the power connector cable (the cable that would
otherwise connect the power conversion board to an internal
repeater) and cut one end just below the white plug, cutting
both black and red wires.
Step 8 Using pliers and two of the splice connectors provided, splice the
cables together, as shown in Figure 16. The red wire on the power
connector cable attaches to the white wire on the repeater cable and
the black wire connects to the black wire.
Step 9 Seal all the remaining holes in the pedestal with sealing tape
and/or foam gaskets. The repeater is now connected to a
24 VAC power supply.
Step 10 Turn the power source back ON to satellite.
Step 11 Record the repeater ID and location in the Installation Log.
