5. Install 1/2″ (13mm) conduit for input power wires
and 3/4
″ (19mm) conduit for valve wires.
Note: After installation, store the Quick Start
guide on the inside of the cabinet door.
Connecting the Valves
1. Route the valve wires or wire cable from the
valves, into the timer cabinet.
Note: The snap-in wire connectors accept 14
to 18 gauge (1mm
2
) wire. Using direct-burial
irrigation cable is recommended. Choose a cable
that has at least one additional wire conductor
than the number of valves to be connected.
2. Attach the white color-coded wire to either one of
the wires from
each valve solenoid. This is called
the valve common
wire.
3. Attach an individual color-coded wire to the
remaining wire from each valve solenoid. Make
a note of the wire color used for each valve and
the watering zone it controls. You will need this
information when connecting the valve wires to
the timer.
CAUTION: To prevent corrosion, connection
failure and possible short circuit, use Toro
waterproof wire connectors (Model # 53687)
or grease caps on all exposed wire splice
connections
4. Route the wire cable into the timer through the
large opening in the base of the housing or
through PVC conduit (if installed). Strip insulation
back 3/8
″ (10mm) from all cable wires.
Note: The zone modules have snap-in wire
terminals. To attach wires, simply raise the lever,
insert the stripped wire, and press the lever down
to secure.
5. Secure the valve common wire to the terminal
labeled COM. Connect the individual zone valve
wires to the appropriate zone module terminals.
Connect the master valve wire (if applicable) to
the terminal labeled PUMP/MV.
