Installation of the X2 should only be done by trained personnel. Please refer to the example and instructions below for connecting the controller to the valve.
- Route valve wires between the control valve location and controller.
- At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire on all valves. This is most commonly a white-colored wire. Attach a separate control wire to the remaining wire of each valve. All wire connections should be done using waterproof connectors.
- Secure the white valve common wire to the C (Common) screw on the terminal strip. Attach each of the individual valve control wires to the appropriate station terminals and tighten their screws.
- The transformer wires are already connected to the AC terminals so all that is required is to connect the primary power outlet for the plug.
NOTE: The MV terminal is only to be used if a master valve is on the system. Learn more
