For WaterMaster ® 4 and 6 Zone Timers
Installation
Connecting Valve Wires to the Timer
1. Remove cover by sliding it down.
2. Determine which valve you want to connect to
which station. Connect each valve wire to its station
terminal (labeled 1-6) by inserting the bare wire.
3. Connect the common wire to the terminal screw
labeled "COM". (See Figure 3.)
Installing Batteries — For Program Back-Up
1. Install 2 AA (1.5 volt) alkaline batteries
in the battery compartment. (See Figure 4.)
CAUTION: Do not allow the battery to contact
the terminal strip.
2. With weak or no batteries, the program can
malfunction or be erased with power failure. If this happens, disconnect the
transformer, install fully charged batteries, plug in the transformer, and repro-
gram the timer.
Connecting the Transformer
1. With the cover off, find the two terminal
holes labeled "24V." Make sure the trans-
former is not plugged in. Insert one of
the two power leads from the transformer
into each terminal hole and turn the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver until
wire is secure. Do not overtighten!
2. Plug in transformer. (See Figure 5.)
WARNING: Do not link two or more timers
together using a common transformer.
3. Slide the cover back on until it snaps.

Timer Location
1. Select a location that is near a standard electrical outlet. If this is not possible, a 16 gauge
electrical cord can be used to add length between the timer and the transformer (up
to several hundred feet). Avoid using an outlet controlled by an On/Off switch.
2. The timer should not be exposed to water or operated at temperatures below 14°
degrees or above 113° degrees Fahrenheit. (-10° c + 45° c)
Mounting the Timer
1. Screw a No. 8 screw at eye level leaving the screw
head extended out from the wall about 1/8 inch. Use
expanding anchors in plaster or masonry if necessary.
2. Slip the keyhole in the back of the timer over the
extended screw.
3. Screw a No. 8 screw through each of the two holes at
the bottom of the timer box into the wall. (See Figure 1.)
Wiring the Electric Valves
1. If the distance between the timer and
valves is under 700 feet, use WaterMaster
sprinkler wire or 20 gauge plastic jacketed
thermostat wire to connect the timer and
the valves. If the distance is over 700 feet,
use 16 gauge wire. The wire can be buried
in the ground; however, for more protec-
tion, wires can be pulled through PVC
pipe and buried underground. Be careful
to avoid burying the wires in locations
where they could be disturbed by digging
or trenching in the future.
2. Each valve has two wires. One wire is to be con-
nected as the common. All of the common wires for all the valves can be
connected together to one common wire going to the timer. The other valve wire
is to be connected to the specific station wire that is to control that valve.
(See Figure 2.)
3. All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, or vinyl tape. For addi-
tional protection to waterproof connections, a WaterMaster
4. To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should be connected to each station.
5. The rated output is 24 volts AC at less than 0.240 Amps. Do not use solenoids
that exceed these values.

You can assign each station an automatic watering period as short as 1 minute
and as long as 99 minutes.
