Step 3
Lay the measured length of low voltage wire
in a trench following a path from the selected
electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming
up from the ground should be run through PVC
conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades,
weedeaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to
bury the wire laid in the trench.
Step 4
Bring enough wire up through the PVC conduit to reach the control
board.
Step 5
Strip

" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach
these ends to the 14VAC OR SOLAR terminals located on the terminal
block). Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each other!
Insert one transformer wire into a 14VAC OR SOLAR terminal. Insert the
other transformer wire into the remaining 14VAC OR SOLAR terminal.
The transformer wires can be connected to the 14VAC OR SOLAR
terminals regardless of color/polarity.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires.
Step 6
At the AC outlet, strip
1

" of insulation from the ends of the low voltage
wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer terminals. We
suggest adding crimp on fork lugs to the end of each wire before
attaching it to the transformer.
Make sure the exposed wires do not
touch each other!
