CONNECTING VALVES ............................................................................................................
1.Route valve wires between control valve location and controller.
2.At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire of all valves. This is most commonly a white colored wire. Attach a separate control wire to the remaining wire of each valve. All wire splice connections should be done using waterproof connectors.
3.Open hinged faceplate on the controller to access the terminal strip area.
4.Route valve wires through the conduit and attach conduit to the controller at the large conduit opening on the right side of the bottom of the cabinet. The conduit opening has a triple knockout to accommodate 1", 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" (25, 32 or 40 mm) conduit. Each section can be easily removed using a knife. Refer to the conduit sizing chart on page 31 in the Frequently Asked Questions section if you are not sure what size conduit will work for your installation.
5.Strip 1/2" (13 mm) of insulation from ends of all wires. Secure valve common wire to C (Common) terminal on any of the valve modules or power module. Then attach all individual valve control wires to appropriate station terminals.
NOTE: Although it is usually best to connect all field wires prior to powering up the controller, it is not necessary with the ICC. After powering up the controller, attach the common wire to the terminal strip as described above. Then touch each wire to the terminal marked TEST to identify the valve location. Each valve will open electrically when the wire is touched to the TEST terminal. After identifying the valve location, you may then insert the wire into the appropriate terminal. This feature allows you to sequence the valves in the most logical order for the user without damaging the controller by “sparking” the wires.
