tions where they could be damaged by digging or trenching in the
future.
Each valve has two wires. One wire is to be connected as the com-
mon. The common wires for all the valves can be connected togeth-
er to one common wire going to the timer. The other valve wire is to
be connected to the specific station wire that will control that valve
[See Figure 19].
Figure 19: Wiring Valves
All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, or vinyl
tape. For additional protection to waterproof connections a
WaterMaster® grease cap can be used.
To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should be connected to
each station.

Connecting Valve Wires to the Timer
Remove cover by sliding it down.
Determine which valve you want to connect to which station.
Connect each valve wire to its station terminal (labeled 1-6 or 1-12)
by inserting the bare wire.
It may be necessary to "open" the terminal to allow for wire insertion
or removal. To do this, simply take a Phillips screwdriver and turn the
screw two to three turns counter clockwise. After inserting wire turn
the screw clockwise. Do not over tighten.
Connect the common wire to the terminal labeled "com" [See Figure 20].

Connecting Pump Start or Master Valve to the Timer
Connect one wire to the terminal marked "pump."
Hook the second wire to the terminal marked "com." The two wires
should then be hooked up to a master valve or pump start relay rated
at 24 volts AC input (coil side). Refer to local codes. A qualified elec-
trician may be required to install a pump start relay.
