5.2. Laidai
Before wiring, ensure the power supply to the controller is disconnected. The terminal block is located at the bottom of the unit. Use simple tool-less "push-in" terminals for easy wire connections.
- Bendras laidas (COM): Connect the common wire from your irrigation valves to the terminal labeled "COM". This is typically a white wire.
- Station Wires (1-6): Connect each individual valve wire to its corresponding station terminal (1 through 6).
- Rain Sensor (SENSOR): If using a rain sensor (sold separately), connect its wires to the "SENSOR" terminals. The controller supports a normally closed rain sensor.
- Pump Start Relay (PUMP): If you have a pump start relay or master valve, connect its wires to the "PUMP" terminals.
- 24V AC Power (24VAC): Connect the 24V AC power adapter wires to the "24VAC" terminals.

Important Power Limitation Warning:
The controller's power supply has specific current limitations. Each valve connected should not exceed 150mA (milliampere) at 24V. The total current drawn by all simultaneously active valves must not exceed 500mA. For example, if your valves draw 150mA each, you can operate a maximum of 3 valves simultaneously. If your valves draw 220mA each, you can operate a maximum of 2 valves simultaneously. Exceeding these limits can damage the controller.
