Connect Field Wiring
The “flip strip” connector, shown in this illustration,
allows fast and easy connection of field wires.
Œ
Wires connected to the flip strip should be
stripped to expose ½" (1,3 cm) of conductor at
the end. Do
not
use wires larger than 16 gauge.
Wires smaller than 18 gauge should be doubled
over before being inserted into the flip strip.
•
To connect field wires, raise the flip strip lever
to the open position. Insert the stripped wire into
the round hole beneath the lever. Then lower
the flip strip lever to grip the wire.
Ž
Tug gently on each wire to make sure it’s
securely connected.
Station Valve Wiring
Connect each valve by its own separate power
wire to one of the numbered terminals on the ESP-
Si flip strip, as shown in the illustration.
Connect a common wire to one of the leads on
each valve. Connect the other end of the common
wire to the COM terminal on the flip strip. Wire
used to connect the valves must be code-approved
for underground installation.
Master Valve Wiring
NOTE:
Complete this section
only
if your sys-
tem requires a master valve (an automatic valve
installed on the mainline pipe upstream from the
station valves).
Connect the master valve wiring to the MV termi-
nal and COM terminal as shown in the illustration.
