The Galcon 8006S 6-Station AC Greenhouse Timer is the most versatile indoor propagation controller available at an unbelievable price point. Engineered specifically for complex greenhouse environments and seed propagation beds, this timer conveniently plugs into any standard indoor 110V outlet. From there, it effortlessly manages up to 6 distinct watering zones by reliably actuating standard 24V AC irrigation valves out in the field.
What sets the Galcon 8006S apart is its intelligent and protective circuitry. It is one of the few controllers in its class capable of operating up to two valves simultaneously, allowing you to condense large watering schedules. Furthermore, it features a self-diagnostic circuit breaker with a built-in alarm that alerts you immediately to electrical shorts or field wiring issues. With 4 independent programs per valve, cyclical scheduling capabilities, and dedicated ports for master valves and rain sensors, this unit offers high-end agricultural performance in a simple, easy-to-use package.

Get your indoor AC greenhouse controller running smoothly.
Step 1: Mount the Enclosure Indoors
Secure the timer unit to an indoor wall or protected shed environment using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure it is placed close enough to reach a standard 110V AC electrical outlet.
Step 2: Connect Power & Backup
Plug the controller into the 110V AC outlet. Open the front panel and install a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery to serve as a memory backup in the event of a power outage.
Step 3: Wire the Valves
Run multi-strand irrigation wire from your outdoor 24V AC valve manifolds into the structure. Connect the common wire to the designated 'C' terminal and individual valve wires to the numbered station terminals (1-6).
Step 4: Program Your Zones
Use the dial and button interface to set the current time, date, and watering parameters. Choose between weekly scheduling or cyclical watering based on the propagation needs of your seeds or clones.
Does the Galcon 8006S require hardwiring?
No, unlike many commercial outdoor controllers, the Galcon 8006S is designed for indoor use and conveniently plugs directly into a standard 110V AC electrical outlet without the need for an electrician.
It then safely steps the power down to output 24V AC to your exterior valves.
Can the Galcon 8006S run more than one zone at a time?
Yes, a unique feature of the Galcon 8006S is its robust circuitry that allows it to simultaneously operate up to 2 standard valves at the exact same time.
This is highly beneficial for greenhouses that need to condense misting schedules across multiple propagation tables rapidly.
What valves work with the Galcon 8006S controller?
This AC controller must be paired with standard 24V AC irrigation valves. It will not operate DC latching solenoids commonly used with battery-operated timers.
Ensure all valves in your system manifold are strictly AC-compatible before wiring them into the station terminals.
How should I prepare my Galcon 8006S for spring watering?
Prepare the Galcon 8006S for spring by replacing the 9-volt backup alkaline battery, verifying your 24V AC valve wiring, and programming initial cyclical or weekly schedules suited for early-season seed propagation.
The built-in self-diagnostic circuit breaker will sound an alarm if it detects any shorts in your field wiring caused by winter damage.
