Battery Installation; Valve, Pump Relay And Sensor Installation - Toro EVOLUTION Series Quick Start Manual

Battery Installation

The EVOLUTION controller uses a 9 VDC battery for arm chair programming.
®
Step 1 – Open the EVOLUTION
internal components.
Step 2 – Locate the battery compartment at the back of the control panel.
Step 3 – Align the polarity (– and +) of the battery then slide it into the battery compartment as shown in
Figure 12.
Note: You may need to pull the battery tab forward to align the battery properly.

Valve, Pump Relay and Sensor Installation

Step 1 – Route valve wires from the valves,
master valves, pump relay and/or
sensor into the controller cabinet.
Note: 18 AWG (1.0 mm2)
multi wire sprinkler valve
connection cable can be used.
This cable is insulated for direct
burial and is color coded to
simplify installation. It can be
routed directly into the controller
through the access hole provided
for valve wire conduit (if conduit is
not used).
Step 2 – Connect valves, master valves and
pump start relay to the valve wires
Connect the white color coded
wire from the cable to one wire
from each valve solenoid and/or
pump relay. (Either of the two wires
from the solenoid or pump relay can be used for this connection.) This connection will be designated as the valve common wire.
Connect a separate cable wire to the remaining wire from each valve solenoid. Note the wire color code used for each valve and the zone it
controls. You will need this information when connecting the valve wires to the controller.
Connect sensor to the valve wires Connect any two unused color coded wires to the sensor. Note the color code of the sensor wires for
installation.
Step 3 – Secure all wire splices using wire nut connectors. To prevent corrosion and possible short circuits, always use an insulated wire nut, grease
cap or similar waterproofing method.
