Introduction
The OSMAC Satellite is designed for installation on a substantial concrete foundation with embedded conduit of various
diameters to enable power, field and earth ground wiring to be routed into the cabinet. A mounting bolt positioner and
basic mounting hardware components are included with each satellite. Additional materials required to complete the
installation must be obtained separately. A material list can be compiled by reading through the instructions completely
prior to starting the installation.
CAUTION: For your protection and the safety of the product user, comply with all Caution and Warning Statements
within this document. All installation practices must comply with all applicable national and/or local electrical and
construction codes.
Foundation Construction
1.
Prepare a hole for the foundation
and wiring conduit using the
minimum recommended dimensions
shown in Figure 1.
*Note: Refer to local electrical
codes for required depth of buried
wiring.
2.
Trench to the foundation site as
required for each wiring run.
3.
Position the straight and sweep
elbow conduit sections in the
foundation hole as shown. Tape
the conduit ends to seal out dirt.
Backfill soil to form a 6" (15.2cm)
foundation depth. Conduit should
not extend more than 2" (51mm)
above the finished top surface of the
foundation.
4.
Prepare the sides of the foundation
hole with wood forms.
5.
Prepare the mounting bolt positioner
with the 5/16" x 4-1/2" bolts and
nuts (provided) as shown in Figure 1.
The threads should extend 2"
(51mm) from the top surface of the
bolt positioner.
6.
Pour concrete into the formed
foundation hole. Press the mounting
bolt positioner into the concrete
until it is flush and level with the
foundation surface and aligned with
the conduit.
7.
Finish the concrete with a level flat
area (16" x 16" [41cm x 41cm]). To
prevent pooling at the base of the
pedestal, add a slight taper away
from the cabinet base contact area.
Allow the concrete to sufficiently
harden before continuing.
8.
Remove the hex nuts from the
mounting bolts. Place the pedestal
on the pad ensuring all bolts pass
though the holes provided. Install a
flat washer and a hex nut on each
bolt and tighten securely.

- Page 1 Installation Instructions Introduction The OSMAC Satellite is designed for installation on a substantial concrete foundation with embedded conduit of various diameters to enable power, field and earth ground wiring to be routed into the cabinet. A mounting bolt positioner and basic mounting hardware components are included with each satellite.
- Page 2 It is further recommended that all earth grounds and surge protection devices be checked yearly and after each lightning event. Toro advises against the use of a bonding/shielding wire in conjunction with Toro irrigation control systems. Grounding materials or equipment that are not specified in these instructions should not be connected to the Toro control products, Toro communication/power wiring or the grounding for the communication/power wiring.
- Page 3 Input Power Installation CAUTION: When installing multiple satellites, polarity of the Line and Neutral connections must be properly maintained throughout the irrigation system. Reversed polarity may cause damaging potentials to exist at one or more satellite locations. An equipment ground wire from the power source must also be connected to the satellite power supply terminal block.

Page 4: Field Wire Installation
Field Wire Installation CAUTION: The OSMAC Satellite is capable of operating up to 31 stations simultaneously when operating with a pump, or 32 stations simultaneously without a pump. To prevent possible satellite damage, total output current load must not exceed 3.0 amps. If more than one valve per station will be connected, calculate the total in-rush current load which would be imposed in the maximum operating conditions and use this value as a guide during installation and operation of the satellite. -
Page 5: General Editing
Selecting the Radio Frequency The OSMAC satellite has 6 pre-programmed user-selectable radio frequencies. The frequencies are programmed at the factory or by the distributor prior to delivery of the satellite. However if a frequency change is desired, any of the 6 pre- programmed frequency channels can be modified to any desired radio frequency. -
