![]() Insert the transformer into an 120V electrical outlet. Connect remaining wires to corresponding terminal locations.Ĭonnect power connector to the timer. Connect common wire to the common terminal. Your timer is equipped with the simple “push-in” terminals for easy connection. Only connect one valve to each terminal (station) or damage will occur Be careful to avoid burying the wires in locations where they could be damaged by digging or trenching in the future. Important: The wire can be buried in the ground however, for more protection wires can be pulled through PVC pipe and buried underground. To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the timer, only one valve should be connected to each station. The common wires for all the valves can be connected together to one common wire going to the controller. The other valve wire is to be connected to the specific station wire that will control that valve. One wire (it doesn’t matter which one) is to be connected as the common. Strip 12 mm of plastic insulation off the end of each individual wire. In wet environments like a valve box it is recommended to use Orbit Grease Caps or Speed Seals to prevent corrosion of the connection and for protection from water infiltration. Important: All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, and/or vinyl tape. If the distance is over 210 m, use 16 gauge (AWG) wire. If the distance between the sprinkler timer and valves is under 210 m, use Orbit® sprinkler wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed thermostat wire to connect the sprinkler timer to the valves. If more than one valve is connected to a station the timer will be permanently damaged. Note: The maximum loading for each station/pump is 250mA (one valve), the maximum loading for the timer is 500mA. ![]() Connect the remaining wire from each valve to a separate colored sprinkler wire.Connect one wire from each valve (it doesn’t matter which wire) to a single “Common” sprinkler wire (usually white). ![]()
