The Galcon 6150S Single Station Greenhouse Battery Timer is an exceptional bargain for growers needing high-precision watering without the hassle of hardwiring AC power. Designed with a sturdy, weather-resistant housing, this single-station controller is ideal for remote greenhouse operations, hoop houses, and outdoor seed propagation stations. When paired with a compatible Galcon DC 2-wire valve, it provides highly reliable, battery-operated automation that can withstand demanding agricultural environments.
What sets the Galcon 6150S apart is its advanced cyclical programming capability. While it functions perfectly as a standard landscape irrigation timer (with up to 4 start times per day), its misting mode allows for watering durations as brief as 10 seconds. This ultra-precise control prevents soil wash-out and over-saturation, making it perfect for delicate seedlings and humidity control. Featuring master valve capabilities and rain sensor readiness, this DC timer delivers professional-level propagation management in a simple, standalone unit.

Get your single-station greenhouse controller running smoothly.
Step 1: Mount the Controller
Select an appropriate wall or post location inside your greenhouse or outdoors. Use mounting hardware to securely attach the weather-resistant housing in an easily accessible spot.
Step 2: Install Battery
Open the battery compartment and install one fresh 9-volt industrial alkaline battery to power the unit.
Step 3: Wire the Valve
Run direct burial wire from the controller to your valve location. Connect the wires from your Galcon DC 2-wire latching solenoid into the designated station terminals inside the controller housing.
Step 4: Program Your Zone
Use the interface to set the current time. Choose standard irrigation mode for long watering, or select misting mode to program short cyclical bursts down to 10-second intervals.
Does the Galcon 6150S require an electrical outlet?
No, the Galcon 6150S is a DC-powered timer that operates entirely on a single 9-volt alkaline battery. This makes it perfect for remote greenhouses and areas without AC power access.
Because it is battery operated, it must be paired specifically with a DC latching solenoid, not standard 24V AC valves.
Can the Galcon 6150S timer be used for seed propagation misting?
Yes, the Galcon 6150S features a specialized cyclical programming mode that allows for precise 10-second watering increments, making it highly effective for automating greenhouse misting and propagation systems.
This ultra-short duration prevents over-saturation while maintaining ideal humidity levels for delicate seedlings.
Which valves work with the Galcon 6150S controller?
The Galcon 6150S controller is designed specifically to operate Galcon DC 2-wire latching solenoids. It will not work with standard 24V AC valves from other manufacturers, so ensure you have the correct DC components.
This specialized DC system allows the unit to run reliably off of battery power for an entire growing season.
How should I prepare my Galcon 6150S for spring watering?
Prepare the Galcon 6150S for spring by installing a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery, verifying your valve connections, and programming your cyclical misting or standard irrigation schedule based on current temperatures.
As your seedlings grow or the weather continues to warm, you can easily adjust the run times to accommodate changing moisture requirements.
