New Plug in
i have a Rainbird Professional controller in one of my rentals. When I went to start the sprinkler system this yr I found that my tennent had disconnected the plug in into the unit and had accidentally thrown it away. I need to get a new plug in. What are the specs for a new plug in? Everything else on the unit should be fine. it is just not getting power.

The transformer that plugs in the wall converts the current to 24v AC.
Make sure it is the same brand as the controller, in this case Rainbird. Most generic transformers will work as long as they are 24 VAC, but for some reason the Rainbird controllers seem to have some issues if you use something other than a Rainbird transformer. What type of controller do you have? I will locate a transformer online for you.
