Each station output module has 6 screw terminals for
connection of individual station wires. The terminals will
accept from 22 AWG (0.64 mm) to 12 AWG (2.05 mm) wires.
Each station output is rated for 0.56 A, max or enough to
operate two typical Hunter solenoids simultaneously.
Once the output module is installed in the slot, the station
numbers assigned to the output module appear in the
upper deck label above each slot.
1. The modules may be removed, if necessary, without
disconnecting the field wiring. However, they must
be reinserted into exactly the same slot, or the
station addresses will be switched.
2. Connect the return wires from the valves to one of
the 3 terminals on the Master Module marked COM.
Since many valve solenoid wires will need to connect
to these 3 common terminals,
3. Route valve wires between control valve location and
controller.
4. At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid
wire of all valves. This is most commonly a white
colored wire. Attach a separate control wire to
the remaining wire of each valve. All wire splice
connections should be done using waterproof
connectors.
5. Open hinged faceplate on the controller to access the
terminal area.
6. Route valve wires through the conduit and attach
conduit to the controller at the large conduit
openings on the right side of the bottom of the
cabinet.
7. Strip ½" (13 mm) of insulation from ends of all wires.
Secure valve common wire to COM (Common)
terminals on the Master Module. Then attach all
individual valve control wires to appropriate station
terminals.

A. Two Wire Path Terminals – Connect no more than
one pair of red and blue wire paths to each output
terminals
B. Status LEDs– Decoder Fault, Module/Line Activity,
Communicating, Line Status
C. Locking Lugs
D. Gold-plated Electrical Contacts
E. Programming Port – Port where decoder wires get
plugged into in order to program the decoder

ADM99 Decoder
Output Module
1. Decoder output modules may NOT be mixed with the
"conventional" ACM/AGM-600 output modules.
2. Decoder output modules are always installed in the
first three slots.
3. Install the ADM99 by aligning it firmly into the first
three station module slots, and sliding straight up
until clicks into place. As soon as the ADM99 is slide
into place, the Module/Line Activity light will light
red for one second, and then the Line Activity light
will illuminate green. Unlike the station modules,
the ADM99 will illuminate the status lights with the
power bar in the "Power Off" position.

Up to 99 stations may be operated over a single pair of
wires (known as a "path") using decoders. The decoder
output module allows up to 6 two-wire paths to the field
decoders. The maximum number of decoder stations is
still 99, but multiple paths allow the shortest wire runs.
You may use any number of paths to reach all 99 stations.
