Why Use a DC Wall Mounted Controller?

Wall-mounted controllers are installed on walls or flat surfaces for convenient access and control. Battery-operated timers are especially popular because they eliminate reliance on electrical power. Long-lasting batteries mean that these controllers can be installed in an isolated area, as you won’t need to connect them to an outlet. Aside from that, DC wall-mounted controllers are no more complex than regular irrigation controllers.

DC Wall Mounted Controller FAQs

Are DC controllers weatherproof?

Yes, most are designed with a weather-resistant shell to withstand outdoor conditions, like rain, heat, and snow. However, it’s still best to mount the controller in a shaded or sheltered location when possible to protect it from extreme conditions. Similarly, these controllers are not designed to be submerged in water, so ensure they are installed above flood-prone areas.

Can I use a DC controller to replace an AC controller?

Yes, a DC controller can replace an AC-powered controller. DC controllers typically support fewer zones (1–12 zones) compared to some high-capacity AC controllers. Verify that the DC controller you choose can handle the number of zones in your system.

How many zones does a DC irrigation controller connect to?

These wall-mounted controllers commonly support up to 6 zones for residential or light commercial use. Sprinkler Warehouse also supplies some advanced models that can handle up to 12 zones at a time, for more extensive irrigation setups.
