DISTANCE BETWEEN COIL AND CONTROL BOX
The new high powered Star units can be mounted 10 to 20 feet away from the coil if
necessary.
We include 39 feet of wire with the 3 Star model. It takes about 14 feet for 2x20 wraps
of coil on a 1” pipe, which allows for a maximum of 12 feet of cable length (each way)
from controller to coil.
With 3 Star units it is acceptable to add another few feet of cable if necessary.
INSTALLING THE COIL
Secure the middle of the cable to the pipe with a cable tie. (Image 1). Make 20
windings with one half of the cable, starting at the vertical arrow of image 2. The
horizontal arrow gives the winding direction. Secure the last winding with a cable tie.
Start winding the second half of the cable on top of the first layer with 20 windings
following the direction of the cable (image 3), in such a way, that when done both
cable ends are on opposite sides of the pipe and on one side of the coil. (Image 4).
Secure again with a cable tie. Cut the cable to appropriate length to reach the location
where you will mount the energizing unit and remove 0.2” of the insulation of both
cable ends. Insert the cable ends in the spring connector, polarity is not important.
