Installation Instructions

Introduction

The OSMAC Satellite is designed for installation on a substantial concrete foundation with embedded conduit of various

diameters to enable power, eld and earth ground wiring to be routed into the cabinet. A mounting bolt positioner and

basic mounting hardware components are included with each satellite. Additional materials required to complete the

installation must be obtained separately. A material list can be compiled by reading through the instructions completely

prior to starting the installation.

CAUTION: For your protection and the safety of the product user, comply with all Caution and Warning Statements

within this document. All installation practices must comply with all applicable national and/or local electrical and

construction codes.

and wiring conduit using the

minimum recommended dimensions

shown in Figure 1.

*Note: Refer to local electrical

codes for required depth of buried

wiring.

2. Trench to the foundation site as

required for each wiring run.

3. Position the straight and sweep

elbow conduit sections in the

foundation hole as shown. Tape

the conduit ends to seal out dirt.

Backll soil to form a 6" (15.2cm)

foundation depth. Conduit should

not extend more than 2" (51mm)

above the nished top surface of the

foundation.

4. Prepare the sides of the foundation

hole with wood forms.

5. Prepare the mounting bolt positioner

with the 5/16" x 4-1/2" bolts and

nuts (provided) as shown in Figure 1.

The threads should extend 2"

(51mm) from the top surface of the

bolt positioner.

6. Pour concrete into the formed

foundation hole. Press the mounting

bolt positioner into the concrete

until it is ush and level with the

foundation surface and aligned with

the conduit.

7. Finish the concrete with a level at

area (16" x 16" [41cm x 41cm]). To

prevent pooling at the base of the

pedestal, add a slight taper away

from the cabinet base contact area.

Allow the concrete to suciently

harden before continuing.

8. Remove the hex nuts from the

mounting bolts. Place the pedestal

on the pad ensuring all bolts pass

though the holes provided. Install a

at washer and a hex nut on each

bolt and tighten securely.

OSMAC® Satellite Installation Instructions Introduction The OSMAC Satellite is designed for installation on a substantial concrete foundation with embedded conduit of various diameters to enable power, field and earth ground wiring to be routed into the cabinet. A mounting bolt positioner and basic mounting hardware components are included with each satellite. Additional materials required to complete the installation must be obtained separately.

Earth Ground Installation Important! Toro surge protection devices require an acceptable earth ground to dissipate excess energy. An earth ground is required in all cases, and a measured resistance of 10 ohms or less is recommended. If it is impractical to achieve a measured resistance of 10 ohms, the installation of ground rods, ground plates, and ground enhancement material per the grounding material manufacturer’s instructions is recommended.
PAGE 3
Input Power Installation CAUTION: When installing multiple satellites, polarity of the Line and Neutral connections must be properly maintained throughout the irrigation system. Reversed polarity may cause damaging potentials to exist at one or more satellite locations. An equipment ground wire from the power source must also be connected to the satellite power supply terminal block. WARNING AC POWER WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
PAGE 4
Field Wire Installation CAUTION: The OSMAC Satellite is capable of operating up to 31 stations simultaneously when operating with a pump, or 32 stations simultaneously without a pump. To prevent possible satellite damage, total output current load must not exceed 3.0 amps. If more than one valve per station will be connected, calculate the total in-rush current load which would be imposed in the maximum operating conditions and use this value as a guide during installation and operation of the satellite.

General Editing Use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus and entry fields. Modify any selected value by scrolling through the selection using the Input Dial . Values will be saved automatically when you exit an entry field or press another menu key. Pressing HOME will also save any modification and revert back to home display. Selecting the Radio Frequency The OSMAC satellite has 6 pre-programmed user-selectable radio frequencies.
