Wiring the Controller
Interface to the
Irrigation Controller
!
This unit is designed to be
installed in conjunction with
24VAC circuits only. Do not
use with 110 or 220/230 VAC
circuits.
!
The Controller Interface has 4
wires that must be connected
to the irrigation controller /
timer. If your timer does not
have an internal 24VAC power
source, you will need to splice
the red and black Controller
Interface wires to a 24VAC
transformer (example: Rain
Bird part number 63747301S).

3. If present, remove "jumper wire" between
sensor terminals.
4. Connect the white and green wires to the
sensor inputs.
5. Reconnect power to the irrigation
controller.
