3.4 Wiring the Controller to a 2-wire Solenoid
The controllers have pairs of red and black wires numbered for the number
of valves in the controller. One set of wires (black and red) is stamped with
the letter M, representing the master valve, and one set of wires (yellow)
with the letter S representing the sensor connection.
1. Connect each pair of cables coming out of the controller to each pair of
solenoid cables.
2. The wiring area should be protected from moisture by an airtight box.
3. Connect the black wire coming out from the solenoid to the black wire
of the controller, according to the valve number. The valve number is
marked on the wires on the controller
4. Connect the red wire from the solenoid to the corresponding red wire in
the controller, according to the valve number
NOTE - If you install a master valve, it will open automatically with
each valve. No special programming is needed.
NOTE: The controller and its cables are waterproof. In order to
preserve the waterproof characteristics it is important not to expose
the wires that are not being used.
NOTE - Do not uncover the master valve or sensor wires, unless
using master/sensor
