Toro Tempus Pro Controller 4 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

Connecting a 4-Station Modules
Tempus Pro Controller controls the Solenoid Valves through 4-Station Modules that
can be added to the Back Module board.
To add a 4-Station Module:
• Connect it from the top in line with the connector identified with the selected
Station Number.
• Screw it down with the provided screw.
Connecting the Valves
1. Route the valve wires or wire cable from the valves, into the controller cabinet.
Note: Although up to 14 AWG (2 mm ) wire can be used, it is recommended to use a
2
18 AWG (0.8 mm ) multi-wire sprinkler valve cable. This cable is insulated for direct
2
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).
2. Attach the red color-coded wire from each valve solenoid (either solenoid wire
can be used) to a single cable wire. This is called the"Valve Common" wire. See
Figure 2.
3. Attach a separate cable wire to the remaining wire from each valve solenoid.
Note the wire color code used for each valve and the watering station it controls.
You will need to have this information when connecting the valve wires to the
controller.
4. 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
waterproofing method.
5. At the controller end of the valve connection cable, strip back 1/4" (6 mm) of
insulation from all cable wires.
6. Secure the Valve Common wire to the terminal labeled COM.

Connect the individual valve wires
to the appropriate station terminals.
Connect the master valve wire (if
applicable) to the terminal labeled
MV.
Note: Connecting a master valve or
pump start relay is optional and may
not be required for your
sprinkler system.
