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 wire. Using 18-gauge, multi-strand, direct-burial
irrigation cable is recommended. Choose a cable that
has at least one more wire conductor than the number
of valves to be connected.

3.
Attach the white color-coded wire to either one of the
wires from each valve solenoid. This is called the
valve common wire.
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 to have this information
when connecting the valve wires to the timer.

5.
Referring to the Timer Components on page 5 and the
diagram above, secure the valve common wire to the
terminal labeled COM (8). Connect the individual zone
valve wires to the appropriate zone module terminals
(11). Connect the master valve wire (if applicable) to
the terminal labeled PUMP/MV (9).
CAUTION: Use Toro Waterproof Wire Connectors
(Model # 53687) or grease caps on all exposed wire
splice connections to prevent corrosion, connection
failure and possible short circuit.
4.
Route the wire cable into the timer through the large
opening in the base of the housing or through PVC
conduit (if it is installed). Strip insulation back 1/2"
from all cable wires.
Note: Connecting a master valve or pump start relay
is optional and may not be required in your sprinkler
system.
Note: The zone module has snap-in wire terminals.
To attach wires, simply raise the lever, insert the
stripped wire, and press the lever down to secure.
