Installation Instructions

Pump Hook-Up Connections

Do not attempt to drive a pump starter directly from the
controller. Pump start is provided by connecting one side
of the coil of a suitable relay to the Master Valve/Pump
Start output of the controller and the other side to the
controller common.

For systems supplied with water from a Pump, unused
stations must be connected back to the last used station
to eliminate the possibilty of the pump running against a
closed head. Failure to do so could lead to pump
damage.
