Valve Output Wiring
The controller transformer provides 24 VAC output for
the station valves. The output leads are color coded and
stamped with the corresponding station designations.
(See Figure 3.)
1.
Connect one Lead from each valve to the desired sta-
tion output lead using wire nuts.
NOTE:
If the Master Valve/Pump Start circuit is used,
connect only one Rain Bird, 2 watt, solenoid valve per
station.
2.
Connect the second lead from all valves to the white
common output lead. Record the valve locations or land-
scape zone identification for each station on the label in-
side the cabinet door.
Master Valve Wiring
1.
Connect one lead from a 24 VAC Master Valve to the
controller Master Valve lead (Wht/Orn).
2.
Connect the other Master Valve lead to the controller
common (white) along with the valve common leads.
CAUTION:
If a master valve is not being used, be sure
to tape the end of the Master Valve lead to prevent any
possibility of "shorting."

MOUNTING
1.
Choose a location that provides a minimum clearance of 13" wide x 8" high. Since
the electrical connections are provided at the bottom of the cabinet, clearance should
be allowed for the conduit connections etc. Refer to Figure 2. The location must be
within 5 feet of an electrical outlet.
2.
Remove the 4 panel mounting screws, and carefully lift out the panel.
3.
Position the cabinet on the wall at the mounting location, and with a pencil, mark
the mounting holes desired (4 holes are provided) on the wall. Two vertical holes are
provided for mounting to a wall stud. (
Note:
Use #10 screws).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ALL WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
LOCAL CODES. A basic wiring diagram, with color code identification is provided on
the inside surface of the cabinet for easy reference.
