CONNECTING VALVES AND TRANSFORMER ....................................................................

1. Route control wires between control valve location and controller.

Typically it is recommended that an 18 AWG multi-wire sprinkler

connection cable be used. This type of connection is insulated for

burial and is color-coded to help keep track of your connections.

2. At the valves, attach the common wire to either solenoid wire of the

valve. This is most commonly the white colored wire. Attach a

separate control wire to the remaining solenoid wire and make a

note of the color corresponding to each valve and the watering

station it controls.

3. Secure the wires with a waterproof wire connector to protect

the connection.

4. Open hinged wiring compartment door to access the terminal strip

area shown in the diagram.

5. Route the valve wires through the large opening on the base of the

cabinet or through 1⁄2 inch conduit if installed. Strip 1⁄4 inch of

insulation from ends of all wires.

6. Secure the white valve common wire to the screw on the terminal

marked C. With the valve common wire connected, connect the

color-coded wires from the valves to their appropriate station

numbers and tighten the screws.

7. Route transformer cable through the small hole in the bottom of the

cabinet and connect the wires to the two screws marked AC.

Do not plug transformer into power source until

the controller is mounted and all valves have been

connected.
