Connecting The Valve Wires - Hunter ACC Owner's Manual

• Tthe silver contact on the back of the controller
cabinet must engage a mating slot in the back of the
expansion module. Do not "tip" or force the module
into place. Slide straight up, from the bottom of the
slot.
• While at the Run dial position, press the Information
button. The current station size will be shown, and
should include any new modules you have added.
• Decoder output modules may NOT be mixed with the
"conventional" ACM/AGM-600 output modules.
• Decoder output modules are always installed in the first three slots.

Connecting the valve wires

Each station output module has 6 screw terminals for
connection of individual station wires. The terminals will
accept from 22 AWG (.64mm dia.) to 12 AWG (2.05mm
dia.) wires.
Each station output is rated for .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.
• 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.
• 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,
• Route valve wires between control valve location
and controller.
• 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.
• Open hinged faceplate on the controller to access the terminal
area.
• 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.
• Strip 1⁄2" (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.
