Connect to Controller
- Install decoder in valve box near or together with valve or relay.
- Connect decoder red and blue wires to two-wire path from controller (does not matter which goes where).
- Connect decoder black wires to solenoid or relay (does not matter which goes where).
- Secure all splices with waterproof connectors.
P/MV Connection
- Connect jumper wire from P/MV on controller power module to P/MV terminal on decoder output module.
- Install MV decoder on two-wire path.

IMPORTANT: Distances in the Wiring Table are calculated based on 60 Hz for American Wire Gauge, and 50 Hz for International, with wire temperature of 122°F (50°C), and a 10% safety factor.
Operating Specifications
- Two wire path input voltage: ~24 VAC, 50/60 Hz
- EZ-LR output voltage: Proprietary high-frequency, low-voltage output for normal AC solenoids.
- A standard voltmeter is not accurate for the EZ-LR output. To verify proper output, the decoder activity light and a known-good solenoid are recommended.
- Enclosure: IP68 (submersible)
