Product Overview
User Manual

Description  

The SC6/12 controllers have revolutionized the irrigation industry. The SC6/12 comes with one Acclima Digital TDT® Soil Moisture Sensor and supports 6 or 12 zones. Each zone can be controlled in by one of three ways: by a sensor, several zones controlled by a single sensor or on timer mode with no sensors. Optimum installations include a sensor for each microclimate in your landscape.

Operation

The controller operates based on soil moisture measured by Acclima Digital TDT® moisture sensors. You set up programs similar to traditional timers; however, the SC Series only waters if the soil needs it. It also allows traditional timed control. Zones can run independently or as a group for maximum flexibility. Designed to be easy to use with little or no learning curve from traditional controllers. The SC6/12 provides smart irrigation technology that is easy to use. 

Application  

Water Savings. Installing a Closed Loop® Acclima irrigation system will typically result in water savings of up to 40%. Thus, the system pays for itself in a very short time, and your landscaping will look great.
