2. Zone Wires (1-6): Connect each individual zone wire from your sprinkler valves to the corresponding numbered terminals (1 through 6) on the controller.
3. Rain Sensor (Optional): If using a rain sensor (sold separately), connect its wires to the 'SENSOR' terminals. Ensure the rain sensor switch inside the controller is set to 'ON' if a sensor is connected. If no sensor is used, keep the switch 'OFF' and ensure the jumper wire is in place between the sensor terminals.
4. Kragverbinding: Plug the included 24V AC transformer into the '24VAC' terminals on the controller. Then, plug the transformer into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
