Connecting Valve Wires to the Sprinkler Timer
• Remove the terminal compartment cover.
• Strip 1/4” (6 mm) of the plastic insulation off the end of
each wire.
• Determine which valve you want to connect to which station.
• Connect each sprinkler wire (excluding the “Common” wire)
to a separate station terminal (numbered above each terminal
screw) by inserting the bare wire fully into the hole under each
terminal screw. [See Figure 14]
• It may be necessary to open the terminal to allow for wire
insertion or removal. To do this, you’ll need to use a small
Phillips screwdriver.
Note: it isn’t necessary to fully remove the screw
• Connect the common wire to the terminal (white in color)
labeled “COMMON”.
Note: For installation instructions for Pump Start, Master Valve and Rain
Sensors see Appendix A.
5. Connecting Electrical Power
Note: For outdoor installation it is recommended that a qualified electri-
cian completes wiring in accordance with electrical codes and regulation.
This sprinkler timer is intended for use with a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) protected circuit when used outdoors.
Check the model number of your sprinkler timer: various models
are configured differently to meet national requirements. The model
number can be found on the back of the door, together with other
useful information.
