HOW TO SPECIFY:
Weathermatic SmartWire™ Surge Arrestor
SLGDT – Surge Arrestor (install every 600 feet). Use SLGDT at beginning and end of each wire run (if
greater than 50 feet) and at a maximum of 600 foot intervals. See below.

WEATHERMATIC SMARTWIRE™ WIRE SPLICE
The wire splice is the most important part of any two-wire system. The majority of issues seen in two-
wire systems is primarily due to bad wire splices. The following issues can be a result of bad wire splices
on any two-wire system:
•
Valves fail to turn on
•
Decoder not found error codes at the controller
•
System works initially but fails after water infiltrates a bad splice
•
Some valves turn on normally while other valves fail to turn on.
•
Controller shows an over current alert
Most of these issues can be avoided if splices are installed correctly.
