1 Introduction
The Galcon G.S.I Controller commands the irrigation valves in the field.
It is connected wirelessly to the G.S.I web application that enables
programming the controller remotely.
Creating irrigation programs for the G.S.I Controller is primarily done
from the G.S.I web application. However, you can also create a simple
irrigation program directly on the controller even before setting up the
web application. You can also perform manual irrigation directly from
the controller.
This manual describes how to install the G.S.I Controller, test to verify
successful installation, perform basic, initial irrigation programming, and
perform manual valve irrigation. For information on using the G.S.I web
application, see the G.S.I web application online help available at:

click the icon.
G.S.I Controller Models
There are two models of the G.S.I Controller, based on the type of
power supply used:
DC unit (pre-installed with a Lithium pack 14.4 V) or rechargeable
batteries.
AC unit.
This document describes the DC unit type.

2 Setting Up the G.S.I Controller
Setting up the G.S.I Controller system includes the following tasks:
Installing the Controller (see below)
Establishing the Electrical Connections (see page 12)
Installing the Controller
The controller is designed to withstand outdoor installation conditions
(at a rating of IP64). However it is preferable to provide additional
protection from the climate by installing it in a sheltered position.
Appropriate installation of the controller will ensure dependable
operation throughout the years.
The controller can be installed in two ways:
Installation on a wall or in a control cupboard.
Installation on a metal pole of 1¼” to 1½” diameter.
Installing on a Wall or in a Control Cupboard
To install the controller on a wall or in a control cupboard:
1. Unlock and open the controller cover (Figure 1).
2. Swing out the control panel (Figure 2).

3. For the internal casing on the right side, unscrew the two screws
and open the casing (Figure 3). Mount the controller to the wall or
to the control cupboard through the marked holes (Figure 4 and
Figure 5) with the aid of three screws. Close the screws by hand
only.
4. Close the internal casing and fasten its screws.
5. Swing the control panel back into place.
6. Close and lock the controller cover.
