2.2 ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ສາຍໄຟ

All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. This product is designed for use only in the USA and Canada.

• ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ພະລັງງານ: Connect the controller to a suitable AC power source.
• Valve Wiring: Connect each irrigation valve to its corresponding station terminal on the controller. Ensure common wires are connected to the common terminal.
• Sensor Connection (Optional): If using a rain sensor or flow sensor, connect it to the designated sensor terminals.
• Fertigation Valve (Optional): Connect the fertigation valve to its dedicated terminal if utilizing this feature.
• ຕ່ ຳtage Lighting (Optional): ສໍາລັບຕ່ໍາ voltage lighting applications, a separate relay is required and must be connected to the controller's low voltage output. This relay is not included.

2.3 Expanding Stations

The AC-24 controller can be expanded from 8 to up to 24 stations. To expand, purchase optional 4-station expansion modules (GAEC14203P0) and follow the instructions provided with the modules for installation into the controller's expansion slots.

3. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

The controller features a rotary dial and push buttons for navigation and programming. The dial selects the programming mode, and the buttons are used to adjust values and confirm selections.

3.2 Programming Irrigation (Programs A, B, C)

The controller allows for three independent programs (A, B, C) which can be set as weekly or cyclic. Each program can have up to 4 start times per day.

1. ຫັນໜ້າປັດ rotary ໄປ ໂປຣແກຣມ.
2. Select the desired program (A, B, or C) using the + ແລະ - ປຸ່ມ.
3. ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ WEEKLY/CYCLIC to choose the program type.
4. ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ເລີ່ມ to set up to 4 daily start times for the selected program.
5. ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ວາວ to assign specific valves to the program.
6. ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ DURATION to set the irrigation duration for each assigned valve (1 minute to 9 hours).
7. For weekly programs, select the days of the week for irrigation. For cyclic programs, set the cycle interval (1 to 30 days).

3.3 Independent Program (I)

The controller also features an independent program (I) for specific applications like low voltage lighting or pond pumps. This program operates independently of irrigation schedules and rain delays.

1. ຫັນໜ້າປັດ rotary ໄປ INDEPENDENT I.
2. Set the start time, duration, and frequency (weekly or cyclic) for the independent program.

3.4 ໜ້າທີ່ພິເສດ

• Fertigation Control: ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ຕົວກັ່ນຕອງ. Assign a percentage of run time for fertilizer injection to individual valves. The fertilizer valve will activate after a calculated delay and stop before the irrigation cycle ends.
• ຝົນລ່າຊ້າ: ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ຝົນຕົກ. Set a programmable "rain off" period up to 240 days to suspend irrigation.
• Seasonal Adjustment (Water Budget): ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ WATER BUDGET. Adjust irrigation duration from 10% to 190% to compensate for seasonal changes without reprogramming.
• ການ​ປະ​ຕິ​ບັດ​ຄູ່​ມື​: ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ຄູ່ມື to manually operate individual valves or all valves for a set duration.
• Test/Reset: ຫັນ ໜ້າ ປັດໄປຫາ ທົດສອບ/ຕັ້ງຄືນໃໝ່ for system testing or to reset programming.

4. ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

The Galcon AC-24 controller is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its long-term performance.

• Keep the controller's exterior clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, damp ຜ້າ​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ການ​ທໍາ​ຄວາມ​ສະ​ອາດ​.
• ກວດກາສາຍໄຟທັງໝົດເປັນໄລຍະໆເພື່ອຮັບປະກັນວ່າພວກມັນປອດໄພ ແລະ ບໍ່ມີການກັດກ່ອນ.
• Ensure the protective cover is properly closed when not accessing the controls to protect against environmental elements.
• In regions with freezing temperatures, ensure the system is properly winterized to prevent damage to valves and pipes.
