Power Supply Connections
The controller itself can run off a 240V AC to 24V AC external transformer..
It is recommended that the transformer is not connected to a 240V AC supply which is also servicing or supplying motors (i.e. Air conditioners, pool pumps, refrigerators, etc.) Lighting circuits are suitable as a power source.
Connections to the unit are as follows:
Connection Of Valves
Up to two 24VAC Solenoid Valves can be connected to each station output and wired back to the common (COM) thus:
