C
Unscrew the wire-nuts from the three wires connecting the
power cord to the timer.
D
Remove the metal bracket holding the power cord to the
back of the wiring compartment and pull the cord out
through the bottom of the cabinet.
E
Route the three wires from an external power source into the
wiring compartment.
F
Using the wire-nuts, connect the external power wires to the
internal connection wires inside the wiring compartment.

Step 3. Connect Valve Wires To Timer

Valve Connections

A
Use direct burial cable to run wiring from the timer to valves
in the field.
B
Connect a color coded wire from the direct burial cable to
either wire on the valve.
C
Connect the remaining wire on each valve to a "common"
wire which then connects to the timer.
 
NOTE: Use water-tight connectors for all wire splice connec-
tions. Depending on your landscape setup, you may need to
run extension wires for the power and common connections.

Timer Connections

A
Use a wire stripper to strip away approximately 1/4" of insu-
lation from the end of the valve wire.
B
Push the exposed end of the color coded wire from each
external valve (or zone) into the corresponding zone number
on the terminal block.
