The C-Dial is a compact control unit, easy to operate, making it perfect for small residential applications. It can control up to 6 solenoid valves with 2 programs and 2 starts each. The practical 3 Easy Steps programming allows irrigation to be adjusted in just 60 seconds.

C-DIAL INSTRUCTION ENG

3 Easy Steps

3 Easy Steps

The special three-step programming feature allows for easy and intuitive programming in less than 60 seconds. The programming logic is based on answering three simple questions: what time of day to water, for how long, and how often.

Sensor input

Sensor input

The controller is equipped with a sensor input for the connection of the rain sensor, 2 wired normally closed. Installation of the rain sensor prevents irrigation during rain events thus saving water.

24 Vac Solenoid

24 Vac Solenoid

The controllers control 24 Vac normally closed solenoids. The control unit will supply the solenoid with a 24 Vac electrical signal for the entire irrigation time to open the electrovalve.

FAQ's

C-DIAL & I-DIAL What is the difference between Programs and Zones?

Controllers programs identify an area or group of solenoid valves. Zones identify a specific solenoid valve.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL How do I set the start time of the zones?

Irrigation controllers work by irrigation cycles distributed across programs. This means that it is not necessary to set the start time for all zones, but just set the start time of the irrigation cycle (program start time) and the watering times of the zones: the controller will open and close the solenoid valves in sequence.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL I have programmed the I-Dial or C-Dial controller but it never irrigates.

Days of the week were probably not enabled during programming. Check that the days of the week in the Frequency menu are enabled (they have a frame around the day). If they are not active simply press the '+' key to enable the flashing day and move between days of the week with the 'enter' key.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL The screen shows the umbrella icon but it has not rained.

Check that the two-wire rain sensor is correctly installed and is a normally closed rain sensor (Acqua Click model).
If the rain sensor is not present, check that the metal bridge in the terminal compartment at "SENS" is present.
In the case of an I-DIAL OUTDOOR control unit, check that the 220V mains connection has been made correctly (this operation requires a qualified electrician) and that an external 220/24 VAC transformer has not been installed.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL Can I enable the rain sensor for single zones?

It's not possible to activate the rain sensor per zone with C-Dial.
It's possible to activate the rain sensor per zone from the EXTRA functions with I-Dial.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL When irrigation starts, the irrigation cycles are repeated twice in a row. How can I set only one daily cycle?

Check whether 2 start times or 2 schedules are active.

C-DIAL & I-DIAL The control unit is properly powered but the screen indicates NoAC.

NoAC indicates that the circuit board is not receiving 24Vac. This situation can occur when the fuse or power supply is blown.
