MOUNTING THE HDC CONTROLLER
1) Locate controller within 5 ft. of a standard
electrical outlet that provides continuous,
uninterrupted power. Do not install
controller within 15 ft. of a pump, pump
start relay or any high voltage junction
boxes or electric motors.
2) Choose desired location and install one
screw for top keyhole into wall. . Remove
bottom panel and insert two additional
screws in each of the bottom corners in
the holes provided. Use screw anchors if
attaching to drywall or masonry.
CONNECTING VALVE WIRES TO
CONTROLLER
1) Remove lower panel cover.
2) Connect one wire from each valve to the
desired corresponding number on the
terminal.
3) Connect the remaining valve wire from all
the valves to the “com” or common
terminal. It is suggested to use a different
color wire for the common wire to help
keep organized. “Common” wires may be
4
bundled or wired together with all other
common wires from all the valves to the
“Com” terminal of the controller.
4) Wire sizing should be of significant size to
allow a maximum of 5 volts drop between
controller and valves. Use Ohms’ Law to
calculate wire voltage drop.
5) Replace cover.
Note: All in-field wire splices should be made
using a dry type waterproof, gel-filled Hit Products
DBC-Y type connector or equivalent.
CONNECTING POWER SOURCE
1) Leave electrical power unattached until all
valve wires are connected to the
controller.
2) Remove lower panel cover to gain access
to the terminal connectors. Insert the two
wires from the plug-in transformer into the
two terminals marked ‘AC’ “AC”.
3) Replace cover.
5
MASTER VALVE/PUMP START WIRING
If a master valve or pump start relay is being used
in conjunction with this controller, wire as follows.
1) Connect one wire to the “MV” terminal
and one to the “Com” terminal.
2) If using a pump start relay, it must be;
a) Located at least 15 feet from controller
b) Have a maximum rated inrush current
less then 350MA at 24 VAC, and be properly
sized for your application.
Hit Products offers a wide range of pump start
relays for most applications that are compatible
with the HDC controller.
Note: DO NOT connect controller directly to
pump. Controller will be damaged if controller is
connected directly to pump.
SENSOR WIRING
A rain sensor or any other type of normally closed
micro-switch sensor may be used in conjunction
with this controller. Sensor activation will interrupt
controller output.
1) Remove lower cover.
6
2) Route the 2 wires from the sensor to the
bottom of the controller and connect one
each wire to the two “RS” terminals.
3) If the “Rain Sensor” switch on the front of
the faceplate is in the “ON” position and
no sensor is connected. The display will
show “SEN OFF” and no irrigation will
occur. To override the problem when no
sensor is connected-always leave the
“Rain Sensor” switch on the front panel in
the “OFF” position.

DEFAULT PROGRAM
The controller does not require a default program
after a power outage. The controller has non-
volatile memory to retain your custom program.
Four AAA Alkaline batteries maintain the real time
clock and calendar. (Batteries should be changed
annually.) Should there not be sufficient battery
power to maintain the real time clock and calendar
and there is a power outage; when the electrical
power returns, the controller will default to
midnight and Saturday.
Note: The controller will Run scheduled
programs according to the displayed Day and
Time.
ELECTRICAL AND BATTERY POWER
Loss of Power: The letters “NO PO” will be
displayed when the electrical power to the timer
has been interrupted. Check connections and
power supply.
Low Battery: The letters “LO PO” will be
displayed when the battery life is below
recommended levels. All four batteries should be
replaced.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
To successfully program controller, all three
programming elementsmust be completed. They
are:
Program Start Times (Time of day a complete
programmed irrigation cycle will start).
Station Run Times (The length of time each
station/valve will irrigate).
Calendar/Schedule (The days of week/calendar
that you desire to irrigate).
To program the controller, you are provided + or –
buttons that will change the value of the “flashing
display”. The ?or ? change the subject of
information that is flashing. The subject or
“Flashing display” is in sequence and can be
scrolled forward ?or backward ?to access all
desired programming options.
BASIC PROGRAMMING FEATURES
1) Three independent programs are
available “A”, “B” and “C”.
2) Three program start times are available
per program.
9
3) Calendar/schedule, days of week or
ODD/EVEN days.
4) Individual station run times.
INPUT THE CURRENT DATE AND TIME
1) Turn the dial to the CURRENT
DATE/TIME.
2) Use the + and –buttons to select the
current year. Push the ? button to
activate the month.
3) The month will be flashing. Use the + and
–buttons to select the current month.
Press the ? button to set the day.
4) The day will be flashing. Use the + and –
buttons to select the current date. Push
the ? button to set current time.
5) The time will be displayed. Use the + and
–buttons to select the current AM or PM
hour notation. Press the ? button to go
to hours. Hours will be flashing. Use the
+ and –buttons to set the current hour.
Push the ? button to set minutes.
