2. HOW TO’S
The How To’s section of the manual describes the most frequent tasks that you might do while interacting
with the netAQUA. It is designed to get you started easily and quickly in using the device. So, let’s
begin…
2.1. Connect the netAQUA to Power
Depending on your purchase option, your netAQUA may include a transformer, and, if not, you will need
to connect it to an existing 24 VAC source.
2.1.1. Connecting the netAQUA Using the Supplied Transformer
The netAQUA power cable has three leads:
• White: 24 VAC input
• Black: 24 VAC input
• Green: Ground
The green lead must be connected to the center terminal on the transformer. The white and black leads
need to be connected to the outer terminals; it does not matter which color AC lead is connected to
which one of the outer terminals.
INSERT PICTURE OF THE CONNECTED TRANSFORMER
To power up the netAQUA, insert the transformer to a 110 VAC wall outlet.
2.1.2. Connecting the netAQUA to an Existing 24 VAC Source
If you are replacing an older irrigation controller with the netAQUA, you may already have a source of 24
VAC power available. In this case, you can connect the netAQUA directly to that source, without the
need for the transformer. The white 24 VAC lead should connect to a terminal marked as 24 VAC on
your existing source, and the black 24 VAC lead should connect to a second terminal marked as 24 VAC.
The green lead, GND needs to connect to a ground terminal in your existing installation.

As soon as you connect the power leads to the power and ground terminals of your existing installation,
the netAQUA will power up.
