run the wire from the timer to each manifold using the existing trenches. Use the
WIRInG MaP
and the
diagrams below as a guide. The wire provided is rated for direct burial but you may chose to run the wire
inside a conduit to prevent future damage to the wire.
lay sprinkler wire as deep as possible in
trenches from the timer to each manifold
At the manifold remove 4" to 5" of the outer
insulation and about 1" of insulation from each
individual wire (Figure 1)
Use a wire nut to connect one wire from each
valve and the white wire from the sprinkler wire
(Figure 2)
Use a wire nut to connect the remaining wire
on the first valve to one of the colored wires
from the sprinkler wire. repeat this step until all
valves in the manifold are connected (Figure 3)
Insert each wire nut into the corresponding
cavity inside the “easy Wire” organizer, slide the
mounting bracket onto the organizer and attach
to the manifold (Figure 4)
At the timer remove 4" to 5" of the outer
insulation and about 1" of insulation from
each individual wire (Figure 1)
Connect the wires from the valves to the
timer by inserting the white wire(s) into
the common terminal and each one of
the colored wires into one of the station
terminals labeled 1, 2, 3, etc.
To release a wire from a terminal push the
tab upward then gently pull the wire out.
