Getting Started
Important: Use only the power supply provided with the controller.
Items Needed:
- PRO-LC WiFi Enabled Irrigation Controller
- BRIDGE WiFi Module
- Smart phone or tablet
- Internet access
Location Considerations:
Choose a location for the controller with good WiFi signal strength. You can evaluate this using the WiFi signal indicator on your smartphone or tablet; the icon should appear full (?). Avoid placing the controller near large metal appliances such as hot water heaters or air conditioning units, as these can interfere with the WiFi signal.

Download the K-Rain PRO-LC WiFi App from your device's app store. This initial step involves creating a user account and connecting the WiFi to the controller for the first time. Ensure Bluetooth is active on your device during this process.
