Adding Additional Controllers
If you require more than 8 watering zones, you will need to purchase an additional Cyber-Rain XCI 8-zone
controller (Item#CRXCI-AC01) available from Cyber-Rain or your local authorized retailer. Multiple controllers can be
operated from a single PC using the same remote wireless access point included in the complete system. The controllers
do not need to be collocated as long as they are within range of the Cyber-Rain wireless access point.
Installation of Additional Controllers
1. Installing Additional Controllers
 Please follow controller installation steps #1-2 found on page 3 of this manual for
installation of each controller.
2. Adding Additional Controllers to the Software Interface
 Make sure each additional controller is plugged in.
 Access the Cyber-Rain Setup Wizard as shown on page 40.
 Newly added controllers are automatically detected and can be setup by
accessing the “Controller Setup” screen as shown on page 20. The total number
of controllers found will be indicated in the setup wizard (shown below).
 Click “Next >”.
 The “Controller Setup” screen opens for each controller (see figures below), in
sequence. For each controller, follow these steps:
o Confirm that the serial number of your controller matches the serial
number in your documentation (also on the back of the Cyber-Rain
controller). If there is a discrepancy, contact Cyber-Rain technical support.
o Give each controller a name (such as “Cyber-Rain Controller1”, “Cyber-
Rain Controller2”, etc).
o Each controller can control 1 to 8 zones. Select the total number of zones
that you activated when inserting the valve wires into the controller unit.
o You can set each controller to turn on sprinklers 1 to 4 times a
day. Select the number that suits your needs, and then choose times for
each watering cycle.
