Зымдарды туташтыруу
- Кубат туташуу: Connect the controller to a standard AC power outlet.
- Клапан зымдары: Connect each irrigation valve's common wire to the controller's common terminal (C). Connect each individual valve's hot wire to its corresponding station terminal (1-8).
- Мастер клапан/насосту баштоо релеси (кошумча): If using a master valve or pump start relay, connect its common wire to the common terminal and its hot wire to the designated master valve terminal (M).
- Sensor Input (Optional): The controller supports various sensors (rain, temperature, wind, soil). Connect sensor wires to the dedicated sensor terminals as per the sensor's instructions.
- Low Voltage Lighting (Optional): Төмөнкү көлөм үчүнtage lighting applications, a separate relay is required (not included). Connect the relay to the designated low voltage output terminal (X) and common.
