Step 1 – Route valve wires from the valves, master valves, pump relay and/or sensor into the controller cabinet.

Note: 18 AWG (1.0 mm

) multi-wire sprinkler valve connection cable can be used. is cable is insulated for direct burial

and is color-coded to simplify installation. It can be routed directly into the controller through the access hole provided for

valve wire conduit (if conduit is not used).

Step 2 – Connect valves, master valves and pump start relay to the valve wires - Connect the white color-coded wire from the cable

to one wire from each valve solenoid and/or pump relay. (Either of the two wires from the solenoid or pump relay can be used

for this connection.) is connection will be designated as the valve common wire.

Connect a separate cable wire to the remaining wire from each valve solenoid. Note the wire color-code used for each valve and

the zone it controls. You will need this information when connecting the valve wires to the controller.

Step 3 – Secure all wire splices using wire nut connectors. To prevent corrosion and possible short circuits, always use an insulated wire

nut, grease cap or similar waterproong method.

Step 4 – Connect valves wires to the controller - Secure the valve common wire (white) to either of the two terminals labeled COM.

Secure the individual valve wires to the appropriate zones they control, Zone 1 valve to terminal 1, Zone 2 valve to terminal 2, etc.

Step 5 – Connect master valve/pump relay wires to the controller - Secure the valve common wire (white) to either of the two

terminals labeled COM. Secure the Master Valve or Pump Relay wire to the terminal labeled MV/PUMP.

Caution: To prevent controller damage, do not connect the pump motor starter directly to the controller.

Step 6 – Connect sensor wires to the controller - Remove the jumper wire from the SENSORS terminals. Secure the two sensor wires

to the sensor terminals. Refer to the provided sensor instructions for further installation instructions.

EVOLUTION

is designed to operate with “normally closed” NC sensors.

Note: For sensors with “normally open” (NO) and “normally closed” (NC) options, select the NC option.

Step 7 – Test for proper operation.
