1. What’s Included: The box comes with all necessary mounting hardware, waterproof gaskets, connector caps, and a quick start guide.

3. Mounting:
- Remove the weatherproof box from its packaging and unlock the side clips.
- Mark the drilling holes using a pencil, then drill 7/32" diameter holes to a depth of 1.575".
- Tap the included anchors into the wall and mount the box using the provided screws.
4. Wiring:
- Pull electric wires through the 1/2" housing on the left and controller wires through the 3/4" housing on the right.
- With power OFF, connect the electrical wires to the power outlet wires inside the box: white (neutral), black (phase), green (ground).
- Secure connections with the included connector caps and wrap them with electrical tape for added protection.
5. Final Steps:
- Place the hardwiring bay cover back and tighten the screws.
- Mount the Wyze Sprinkler Controller on the mounting plate inside the box.
- Close and lock all clips on the weatherproof box to ensure a complete IP65 weatherproof seal.
