Station  Valve  Wiring

Connect  each  valve  by  its  own  separate  power  wire  to  one 

of  the  numbered  terminals  on  the  ESP-TM  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  system  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  terminal  and 

COM  terminal  as  shown  in  the  illustration.

Pump  Start  Relay  Wiring

 

 

NOTE: 

  Complete  this  section 

ONLY

  if  your  system  requires

a  pump  start  relay.

The  MV  terminal  on  the  flip  strip  can  be  used  to  connect  a

pump  start  relay.  Connect  one  lead  of  the  24VAC  pump

start  relay  to  the  MV  terminal  and  the  other  lead  to  the

common  wire,  as  shown  in  the  illustration.

CAUTION:

  To  prevent  pump  damage  when  using  a  pump

start  relay,  use  a  jumper  to  connect  unused  stations  to  a

station  that  is  being  used.  If  program  information  is  lost

during  a  prolonged  power  outage,  the  ESP-TM  will  auto-

matically  run  a  "default"  program  when  power  is  restored.

This  program  runs  all  stations  for  10  minutes.  If  unused

stations  are  not  jumpered,  the  pump  will  operate  with  no

flow  (dead-head)  during  this  10-minute  period.  Dead-

heading  may  cause  the  pump  to  overheat  or  burn  out.
