Connect solenoid valves to the irrigation programmer

Hello everyone, as the owner of the website www.https://latiendadeljardin.com/ , I'm going to give you some basic information on how to install your irrigation controller on the solenoid valve.

Often, once customers have purchased their automatic irrigation system, they ask us, "How do I connect the solenoid valves to my controller?"

Well, it's very simple. I'm going to explain it step by step so that anyone who isn't used to making an irrigation connection can do it quickly and easily.

We assume that all electric irrigation controllers on the market have similar connection characteristics. The only difference is the internal design, but the pins are the same.

First, look at the following diagram:

Ready? Well, let's continue... 24V alternating current (AC) solenoid valves are characterized by having two wires of the same color, so they work like any household appliance, allowing you to plug the plug into any position. The solenoid valves do the same thing, but inside the timer. This is because the irrigation controller has the transformer and outputs the current to the electrical grid.

By this I simply mean that you should take one of the solenoid valve wires and insert it into the common terminal of the controller (usually defined by a C), and the other wire into position 1 of the controller. This same thing is repeated if you have several irrigation zones, let's imagine you have 3, then one wire from solenoid valves 1, 2 and 3 must be connected to the common terminal (I recommend a terminal block or watertight connectors ) and the other wires to zones 1, 2 and 3 of your controller.

With this, you've now connected all the solenoid valve cables and can begin programming irrigation for the time slots you want.
