To connect your controller to a well pump or
master valve:
If your water
come from the pipes of a standard
doesn't
public water supply, you may be using an electrically
operated master valve, or a pump to draw directly from
a well, pond, or similar source. In these cases, you'll need
to make the following wiring connections so your sprink-
ler controller can activate the valve or pump.
A. Bring two wires up through the same hole in the
controller cabinet used for the valve wiring.
B. Connect one wire to the terminal marked PUMP
C. Connect the second wire to the terminal marked COMM.
D. For master valve installations, connect both wires to
a master valve rated at 24 VAC and a current no greater
than 9 VA.
E. For pump start relay installations, connect the two
wires to an auxiliary relay with a coil rated at 24 VAC
and a current no greater than 9 VA. Then wire the relay's
contact to supply voltage to the pump's contactor. A qual-
ified electrician can make these connections for you. For
best results, use Lawn Genie's L3OOOOW Pump Starter to
control a pump up to 2 HP at 240 volts.
NOTE: The controller's pump output will turn
on only when a Zone is watering manually or
au toma tically
IMPORTANT: The power transformer is protected
by an electronic circuit breaker: Do not connect
a combination of pump relay and valves requiring
an inrush current of more than 1 amp at 24 VAC.
