5.2. وایرول
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.
- عام تار (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.

8. ستونزه حل کول
| ستونزه | احتمالي لامل | د حل لاره |
|---|---|---|
| د کنټرولر ښودنه خالي ده. | No power or faulty power adapter. | Check power outlet and power adapter connection. Ensure the 24VAC terminals are correctly wired. |
| Stations are not watering. | Controller is in OFF mode; incorrect programming; faulty wiring; rain sensor activated. | Turn dial to AUTO. Verify program settings (start times, run times, frequency). Check wiring to valves. Check if rain sensor is wet or activated. |
| Only some stations are watering. | Faulty valve; wiring issue to specific station; power limitation exceeded. | Check wiring for the non-watering stations. Test the valve manually. Ensure total current draw does not exceed 500mA (max 150mA per valve). |
| Controller resets or behaves erratically. | Power fluctuations; internal fault; excessive current draw. | د برېښنا باثباته رسولو ډاډ ترلاسه کړئ. Verify that the total current draw from active valves does not exceed 500mA. If problems persist, contact support. |
