Summary:  Consumers will occasionally wish to 
re-route their valve wiring, or extend it if the 9 ½ 
feet length is not adequate.  Simple take care in 
removing the wiring, and pay particular attention 
to keeping the wiring as shown: Red wire (or 
attached wire tied to the red wire) on the LEFT 
and the White wire on the right.

If by accident you reverse this wiring you will 
not harm the system, but the 'ON' and the 'OFF 
function of the valve will be reversed.  If turning 
the moisture knob all of the way down turns the 
valve 'ON' you have reversed the wires.

Notice:  This terminal strip uses a small opening 
and screwdriver.  Take care in making sure you 
re-install the wiring in the proper hole, and when 
you tighten the wire back make sure that you 
have good insertion into the hole.  Mistakenly 
shorting the two wires together, such as bare 
wires of the white touching the red during valve 
operation will short out the output transistors in 
the controller, and it will fail.  Shorting the wiring 
is not covered by warranty, so be careful!  
Always turn the knob all of the way down before 
working on the wiring.

To extend the wiring, just pay attention to the 
color coding and carefully remove the existing 
cable from the drilled hole in the support 
housing.  Purchase additional wiring (at least 22 
gauge, preferably larger.  Then use an outdoor 
rated splice to attach the existing cable to your 
new cable.  If needed, you may enlarge the hole 
in the support housing to fit the new wire.  It is 
not recommended to enlarge the hole much as 
it may crack the support housing.  Most 
hardware stores sell 22/2 stranded CM plenum 
type cable that will fit into the existing support 
housing hole.  Do not extend more than 20 feet.
