B. Controllers with no sensor inputs and no pump start or master valve:

Refer to 

Figure 7

. Disconnect the valve common wire from the controller’s common

terminal (generally marked “C”, “Com”, or “VC”). Join this wire to the White wire
using a wire connector. Attach the Brown wire to the valve common terminal. 

Note: 

The yellow wire is not used in this application.

C. Controllers with pump start or master valve and no sensor inputs:

Refer to 

Figure 8

. Disconnect all common control wires from the common

terminal(s) of the controller (generally marked “C”, “Com”, or “VC”). Join these wires
to the White wire using a wire connector. (Be sure to include the common wire from
the Pump Start Relay in this connection). Attach the Brown wire to the common 
terminal.

Note: 

The yellow wire is not used in this application.
