Usage:
YardSwitch Power Control modules were designed for reliable, economical, and durable control of outdoor power applications such as lighting, fountians, and pond pumps. The devices are controlled by pulses of 24VAC power and can be controlled using various programmable controllers and EtherRain.
The YardSwitch PL-600 is convenient for use in seasonal applications such as seasonal lighting or seasonal outdoor ornament control. The YardSwitch HW-600 was designed for use in more permanent applications including outdoor lighting, pond pumps, and fountain control.
Installation:
YardSwitch modules were designed to control power in outdoor applications and as such special attention must be given to installation. In particular, there are many local building codes that govern the installation of outdoor power and these must be adhered to in order to obtain safe and reliable operation. Most codes specify that circuits serving outdoor applications must be protected with GFI circuitry. In addition there may be distance from the ground specifications. It is important to check with local codes or have installation performed by a licensed electrician.
YardSwith HW-600 was designed to be installed within a two-gang electrical box. If the installation is exposed to weather, the box should be NEMA rated weatherproof. If YardSwith PL-600 is installed at a location that is exposed to weather it must be used with a deep "continuous-use" type enclosure. Such enclosures are available at local home stores.
