Initial Communication
3.1 Initiating Communication for the First Time
Use the 2 yellow-colored, sealed sensor wires on the controller to signal to
the LEIT-2 controller that it is about to be programmed. Splice the 2 yellow
sensor wires together using waterproof connectors. This splice will distinguish
that the controller is ready to commnicate with a LEIT RC2 handset. Use the
handset to connect to the controller via the Radio Uplink icon using the default

1. Slide the wires from the controller into the valve-mounting bracket and
connect the valve-mounting bracket to the controller using the 4 screws
included (see 1).
2. Connect the incoming station wire (V1 red) to the hot wires (red) on the
solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors. Connects the
controller incoming station common wire (V1 white) to the white wire on
the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors and if
needed repeat for the second valve and sensor. Leave slack on each side of
the wires so that repairs, if needed can be carried out easily (see 2).
NOTE:
V1 may be identified by label or striped wires.
3. Attach the controller into place on the top of the solenoid (see 3).
