Is the transformer inside the controller box?

Yes - if you have problems call the company. They were very helpful with direct questions. There are also excellent YouTube segments on the controller.

i am not sure about the "transformer". i think it probably does have a transformer inside. i know the unit connects to the 110 volt power source and that from there it can program the system and send a signal to the sprinkler valves. it is very easy to program.

The Irritrol RD600-ext-r is wider than the the model shown in this picture and the transformer is inside the case.

Correct. It does not include the controller. It plugs in to your own controller.

mine is the 120 Volt version and if you do have this one then yes you need to get a transformer.

Yes. You plug the tool into the controller and the controller into the outlet.

The power transformer is on the left side. Nothing is wrong, just the way it is designed.

Nope. Sadly this seems to be Power-A's most quality piece. You can get one with fans on the grips but you have to keep that plugged in too, and the casing seems like it came from the dollar store. I would return this and get a first party controller.

No, it does not... basic fuse and switch array. No transformers... standard line cord only.

Almost! The transformer is must be wired to the board. Use care when doing this as the xformer is not always properly marked. A voltmeter is strongly recommended to identify proper voltages. You will have a filament low voltage and a B+ high voltage from the xformer secondary. Good luck.

It does not come with a button, and I think the transformer is built in as all I did was wire it.

No it is not a transformer. But one of the globes broke during installation. They said they are replacing...

Sounds like a wiring problem. The terminal strip has 3 screws. The middle one is "common" and hooks to one side of your 24V transformer. The one nearest the valve (e.g., bottom) is the one which goes to your "controller" along with a wire from the "common"; the other wire furthest from the valve (or base) goes to the thermostat. The other side of the thermostat then hooks to the remaining (other) terminal on the 24V transformer. Sounds like problem may be associated with thermostat connections. If you still have the box it came in, check the diagram. Sounds like a wiring mistake but probably not a serious problem. Sounds like a wiring problem. The terminal strip has 3 screws.

The transformer should be on the house side not in the light ballast. Most likely if you are replacing an existing unit there is already a transformer wired in somewhere in the home. It may be hidden behind fascia board or existing drywall.

The transformer is mid-wire. It is neither inside the speaker nor at the plug.

Yes, as you can see from the picture.The small box with the red button is the plug in. The other box is the control.

yes. for the controller. the unit is rechargable. i think it's double a's?? maybe triples. sorry it was a gift for my nephew last christmas it's been a while

I am not sure. I own 4 of these boards and I plug them into a standard outlet. However, there is a USB type plug that gets plugged into the board itself and the controller for the board is actually a part of the cord. You might want to check with the manufacturer. I had a couple of questions and they responded to me right away.

Not to my knowledge, unless you have a transformer. I gave it as a present and did not unpack it, nor read the owners manual.
