Connecting the Battery

The battery allows you to program the SRC Controller without having AC power available. However, the battery will not be able to activate any of the station valves. Electrical power must resume before watering will continue. The SRC has non-volatile memory which retains all program information in the event of a power outage.

Connecting a Master Valve

Connecting a Master Valve

NOTE: Complete this section only if you have a master valve installed. A master valve is a normally closed valve installed at the supply point of the main line that opens only when the automatic system is activated.

  1. At the Master Valve, attach the common wire to either solenoid wire of the valve. Attach a separate control wire to the remaining solenoid wire and make a note of the color corresponding to the master valve.
  2. Route these wires to the controller the same way as the station valves. The white common wire will still go to the screw slot marked C. The additional wire coming from the master valve will go in the screw slot marked MV.
