For those looking to install the Wyze Weatherproof Sprinkler Controller Box outdoors with secure hardwiring, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a safe and weatherproof setup:
1.
Safety First: Always turn off the power to your existing sprinkler controller before starting installation.
2.
Unpack and Prepare: Inside the box, you’ll find the weatherproof controller box, mounting screws, connector caps, anchors, waterproof gaskets, and a quick start guide. Gather a power drill (with a Phillips head and 7/32" drill bit), hammer, pencil, electrical tape, and any necessary PVC pipes or connectors.
3.
Label Wires: Take a photo of your current wiring for reference. Use the included stickers to label each wire, keeping exposed ends at about ¼–⅜ inches.
4.
Mark and Drill: Use a pencil to mark the mounting holes. Drill 7/32" holes to a depth of 1.575 inches, then tap in the anchors with a hammer.
5.
Mount the Box: Secure the box to the wall using the provided screws. Insert the waterproof gasket through the housing and tighten the gasket cap for a weather-tight seal.
6.
Wiring:
- Pull electric wires through the 1/2" housing (left side) and controller wires through the 3/4" housing (right side).
- With power still OFF, connect the electrical wires to the power outlet wires inside the box using the connector caps (white = neutral, black = phase, green = ground).
- Wrap connector caps with electrical tape for extra security.
7.
Final Steps: Replace the hardwiring bay cover and tighten the screws. Mount the Wyze Sprinkler Controller on the plate, connect the power adapter, and attach the pre-labeled wires. Close the box cover and lock all clips to ensure full weather protection.
