2.Mount the Docking Port
•Slide the timer off the docking port. (See Figure 3)
•Using the mounting template (included), mark the two screw locations on the wall, then drill holes at the marks for No. 8 screws. Use the expanding anchors in plaster or masonry if necessary.
•Place the docking port against the wall, aligning the two holes in the docking port with the two drilled holes.
•Secure the docking port to the wall by screwing a No. 8 screw (included) through each of the two holes.
•Do not slide the timer back onto the docking port yet.
3.Connect the Transformer
•Find the two sockets at the bottom of the docking port labeled “24VAC.” (See Figure 4)
•Insuring the transformer is not plugged in; insert one of

WARNING: Do not link two or more sprinkler timers together with one transformer.
4.Connect Valve Wires to Timer, Pump Start and Master Valve Sockets
A. Wire the Electric Valves
NOTE: If the distance between the sprinkler timer and valves is under 700’ (210 m), use Orbit® sprinkler wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed thermostat wire to connect the sprinkler timer to the valves. If the distance is over 700’ (210 m), use 16 gauge (AWG) wire.
•Taking the sprinkler wire, strip 1/2" (12 mm) of the plastic insulation off the end of each individual wire.
•Connect one wire from each valve (it doesn’t matter which wire) to a single “common” sprinkler wire. This is usually white. (See Figure 5)
IMPORTANT: All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder and/or vinyl tape. For additional protection to waterproof connections, an Orbit® grease cap can be used.
•Next, connect the remaining wire from each valve to a separate colored sprinkler wire.
