Note: The distance that the Transmitter and Timer will operate at is
approximately 200 feet line of sight. This distance can be affected by
obstacles such as walls, automobiles, metal siding, etc. To achieve
the maximum amount of range, mount the Timer as high on the wall
as is convenient for operation and service.

use WaterMaster

sprinkler wire or 20 gauge plastic jacketed
thermostat wire to connect the timer to the valves. If the
distance is over 700 feet, use 16 gauge wire. The wire can
be buried in the ground; however, for more protection wires
can be pulled through PVC pipe and buried underground. Be
careful to avoid burying the wires in locations where they could
be damaged by digging or trenching in the future.
