Accessory Connections
A terminal paralleling the compressor contactor coil 
has been provided on the CXM control. Terminal “A” is 
designed to control accessory devices, such as water 
valves. Note: This terminal should be used only with 24 
Volt signals and not line voltage. Terminal “A” is energized 
with the compressor contactor. See Figure 23 or the 
specific unit wiring diagram for details.
Water Solenoid Valves 
An external solenoid valve(s) should be used on ground 
water installations to shut off flow to the unit when the 
compressor is not operating. A slow closing valve may 
be required to help reduce water hammer. Figure 23 
shows typical wiring for a 24VAC external solenoid valve. 
Figures 24 and 25 illustrate typical slow closing water 
control valve wiring for Taco 500 series and Taco ESP 
series valves. Slow closing valves take approximately 
60 seconds to open (very little water will flow before 45 
seconds). Once fully open, an end switch allows the 
compressor to be energized. Only relay or triac based 
electronic thermostats should be used with slow closing 
valves. When wired as shown, the slow closing valve will 
operate properly with the following notations:
1. The valve will remain open during a unit lockout.
2. The valve will draw approximately 25-35 VA through 
the “Y” signal of the thermostat.
Note: This valve can overheat the anticipator of an 
electromechanical thermostat. Therefore, only relay or 
triac based thermostats should be used.
