The homeowner and installer review local operation, the planned sprinkler zones, and any supported remote or automatic functions. Control locations and operating responsibilities are coordinated with the property’s exterior system.
Local controls give the homeowner a physical operating point for routine use and commissioning. The station is positioned with clear access and protection appropriate to its outdoor location.
The controller and its wiring are installed for the selected equipment and exposure conditions. A protected enclosure, orderly cable routes, and accessible service space support ongoing care.
Where specified, compatible detection equipment or manufacturer services provide inputs to the selected controller. The installer reviews which inputs are supported and how the configured system responds.
For equipment that supports remote access, the homeowner’s account and available controls are reviewed with the installer. The handover covers status information, authorized access, and the communications required by that product.
Compatible zone valves and control connections are coordinated with the planned sprinkler areas. The installer checks the relationship between each control output, valve, and exterior distribution line.
The installer explains the status indications and alerts available on the selected system. Readiness, operation, or a reported fault is interpreted using that equipment’s documentation.
A controlled operating check confirms the local start and stop sequence and the expected sprinkler response. The installer observes the selected zones and confirms the required shutoff behavior.
Where automatic operation is included, the installer reviews the configured response using the manufacturer’s approved commissioning procedure. Supported inputs, zone response, status reporting, and stopping behavior are checked as specified.
The homeowner reviews local controls, supported remote functions, routine checks, maintenance, and service contacts. Power, communications, water availability, and any pump backup arrangements are explained separately.
