4.2 קאַנעקטינג די מאַכט
Connect the external transformer to the 24VAC terminals on the programmer. Then, plug the transformer into a standard electrical outlet. The programmer's display should illuminate.
5. וויירינג
The Orbit Pocket Star Ultimate features tool-free wire connection terminals for easy installation.
5.1 Connecting Valve Wires
- Identify the common wire from your irrigation valves. Insert it into the terminal labeled "COM".
- Connect each individual valve wire to its corresponding station terminal (1 through 6). For example, connect the wire for Zone 1 to terminal 1, Zone 2 to terminal 2, and so on.
פיגורע 5.1: Close-up of the wiring terminal block. This image clearly shows the labeled terminals for 24VAC (power), SENSOR, COM (common), stations 1 through 6, and PUMP, along with the push-in connectors for tool-free wiring.
5.2 Connecting a Rain Sensor (Optional)
If you are installing a rain sensor (sold separately), connect its wires to the terminals labeled "SENSOR". Refer to your rain sensor's manual for specific wiring instructions. Ensure the rain sensor bypass switch on the programmer is set correctly.
5.3 Connecting a Pump Start Relay (Optional)
If your system requires a pump start relay (sold separately), connect its control wires to the terminal labeled "PUMP" and the common terminal. Consult the pump start relay's manual for detailed wiring instructions.
פיגורע 5.2: Example irrigation zone layout. This diagram illustrates how a property can be divided into six distinct watering zones, each controlled by a separate station on the programmer, optimizing water distribution.
6. פּראָגראַממינג
The programmer uses Easy-Set Logic for straightforward programming. Use the rotary dial to select a programming mode and the directional buttons (+, -, arrows, ENTER) to adjust settings.
