pair for each valve). Each pair should consist of one white wire, and one
red or colored wire, preferably of differing colors. Each pair should be
taped and marked separately at both ends, so that the wires do not get
cross-connected (see 1).
2. Insert the pairs of wires through the bottom of the mounting column and
push the wires up through the column until at least 6" (15 cm) of wire
extends from the top of the mounting column (see 2).
3. Install the mounting column, setting the curved bottom of the mounting
column in an 8" x 8" x 6" (20 x 20 x 15 cm) frame and pour in the 90 lb
(40 kg) sack of cement (see detailed illustration). Make sure the column is
vertical and the opening in the curved bottom is accessible and unclogged
(see 3).

IMPORTANT:
Make sure the cement pad is dry before continuing
installation.
4. Pull the 2 pairs of field wires from the valves through the center hole in the
bottom of the mounting plastic bracket (see 4). There are three sets of
wires from the controller, 1 pair for each valve and 1 pair for sensor
connection (labeled V-1, V-2 and S). First, trim the controller valve wires to

about 3-4" (7-10 cm) from the controller and then,
connect the controller output station wire (V1 red
and white) to the incoming hot wires (#1 red or
colored) using 2 small waterproof wire nuts. If
necessary, repeat the same procedure for valve #2
using the wires labeled V2 (see 5). Next, bring the
two yellow sensor wires through the small hole on
the side of the mounting bracket (see 6). Finally,
place wires with nut inside the bracket body and
secure the plastic bracket into the controller using
the 4 small Phillips screw provided (see 5-6).
5. Next, apply a thin layer of cement glue (included
with the column) to the top on the outside area of
the column and slide the controller-mounting bracket
into place on top of the column (see 7).
6. At the valves, connect the incoming station wire (V1 red) to the hot wires
(red) on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors.
Connect the controller incoming station common wire (V1 white) to the
white wire on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof
connectors and if needed repeat for the second valve and sensor. Leave
slack in the wires on each side so that repairs can be carried out easily (see
detailed illustration).
