4-Station Installation - DIG 710 Series Instruction Manual

Use DIG's DC valve model 305DC-XXX or solenoid model S-305DC. If the S-305DC solenoid
is used, select the appropriate conversion adaptor for the valve(s) that will be used (see pg.
4-3).
1. Shut off the mainline to the valve.
2. Install the valve assembly (model 305DC-XXX conforms to the standard methods used in
the irrigation industry) or unscrew the conventional solenoid from the valve installed and
remove the solenoid housing, solenoid stem, plunger, spring, and "O" ring (if necessary).
3. Select the appropriate conversion adaptors for the valve(s) (see page 4).
IMPORTANT: Do not remove existing "O" ring on BUCKnER and SUPERIOR valves. When
installing adaptor on BUCKnER and SUPERIOR valves remove the adaptor sleeve (model
30-424) before installing.

4. thread and tighten the conversion adapter clockwise to the compatible valve port, do not
over tighten (no tools necessary) (see a).
5. Make sure that the solenoid holder/handle is not inserted onto the solenoid housing and
then, screw the solenoid, model S-305DC into the selected adapter. Firmly tighten the
solenoid by hand, but do not over tighten (see b).
6. Slip the manual handle into the solenoid housing. Positioning the solenoid handle at a
40-45° angle towards the valve creates a manual lever, helpful for manual on/off (see
b1-c).

7. Splice the solenoid hot wires (red) to the controller
color-coded wires (red) on the single station. Splice the
solenoid white wire to the single incoming black wire. USE
CONVENTIONAL dRy-SPLICE WATERPROOF CONNECTORS.
Leave some slack on each side of the wires so that repairs, if
needed, can be carried out easily (see d).

8. Mount the controller – see page 5 for wall or valve
mounting (see e, g, h).
9. After installation is complete, turn on the water supply
to pressurize the mainline. the valves will open
momentarily and then shut off. test each valve in
manual operation by moving the manual handle from
left to right to open and right to left to close. Do this
to make sure that the valve is
operating correctly (see f).
10. Program the controller
(see #12 Programming).

notE: Each zone requires a dedicated pair of wires from the controller.
d
the four-station controller (740.000) has four sets of wires numbered 1-4
representing the valve number and each set has 2 wires (red and black). notice
there are 2 extra sets of wires. One set of wires (black and red) is stamped with the
letter M representing the master valve, and one set of wires (yellow) with the letter
S representing the rain sensor connection. Connect each of the controller wire
sets 1-4 (each with red and black) to each solenoid wire (red and white). Connect
