WIRING THE ELECTRIC VALVES
in locations where they can be damaged by digging
or trenching in the future.
• Each valve has two wires. One wire is to be
connected as the common. 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 con-
nected to the specifi c station wire that will control
that valve
• All wires should be joined together using wire nuts,
solder, or vinyl tape. For additional protection, use
WaterMaster grease cap to waterproof connections
• If the distance betwe-
en the timer and valve
is 300m2 or less then
1mm thick connection
wire is suitable. For
added protection, the
wires can be pulled
through and buried
with PVC pipe. Be
careful to not bury wires
• To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should
be connected to each station (Note: Only one wire
can be installed into each terminal. If more than two
common wires are used in your system, splice several
together so only one wire runs into each of the COM
terminals. Protect the splice connection with a wire
nut.)
CONNECTING VALVE WIRES TO THE TIMER
• Remove the terminal compartment cover.
• Strip _" (6mm) of the plastic insulation off the end of
each wire.
• 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 fully
into the terminal.
• It will be necessary to open the terminal to allow for
wire insertion or removal.
To do this you will need to use a small phillips head
screwdriver.
• Connect the common wire to the terminal labeled
"com".
