CONNECTING YOUR SOLENOID
• Standard 24VAC Solenoids
• Simply strip wire jacket back approximately ¼” from end of both wires,
(if not already done by manufacturer).
• The controller powers AC solenoids (common solenoids used for lawn irrigation) There is no
hot or neutral wire. Tie one wire from all the solenoids together and insert wire into #1 slot of
solenoid plug (provided by Phytotronics) and the other wires into the #2 through #7 slots and
tighten down firmly, BY HAND, with supplied Phytotronics screwdriver.
• 3 Wire 24VAC Solenoids
• Attach the 2 power wires just like a 2 wire solenoid into solenoid plug.
• The 3rd wire is a ground wire. (usually green or green with a yellow stripe)
ground this wire properly with all local, state, and national codes.
• 120VAC solenoids will not work directly with your
Nova.
• You must use some kind of 24VAC interface between your
Nova and 120VAC solenoid. i.e. a 24VAC relay.
NOTE: Any attempt to bypass the 24VAC transformer to power this unit directly from a 120VAC
power source will damage the controller’s circuitry and render it unfit for use. Such action will also
void the Phytotronics warranty!
NOTE: Maximum controller output is 1 Amp at one time. If output is exceded, CR ERR will appear
on the display. Turn the unit off, fix the condition and turn back on. This should clear the error.
