Wiring to Terminal Connection Wiring Valves to Controller The WI15VZ-1 Controller accommodates up to 15 valves. 1. Begin the wiring sequence by stripping a wire end and inserting it into the Common terminal on the Controller. 2. Connect the Common wire to (1) one of the valves. (For simplicity only two valves are shown in diagram below. A maximum of 15 valves can be wired to the controller. Connect the other wire of each valve to a corresponding wire of the cable bundle. All connections should be made with wire nuts. To prevent electrical overload one common wire should be connected to each valve and only one valve should be connected to each station (See Figure 4). IMPORTANT: The connection wires can be buried in the ground, however, for more protection, wires can be fed through PVC pipe then buried. Be sure to avoid placing wires in the vicinity where future trenching or digging may occur as this can damage the connections.

Closeup of Third Party Components to Controller Wiring Copyright 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC OPERATION The WI15Z-1 is designed to run the irrigation system based on your pre-

programmed schedule. Utilizing your Z-Wave hub, you can create this schedule. It will be saved in the WI15Z-1 and run automatically unless an Interrupt is sent received. In the event that your hub does not support schedules, or no schedule is programmed into the Irrigation Controller, each valve can run independently and be triggered as part of a scene. See your hub instructions on how to con gure the system to operate in this manner. To trigger a speci c valve that is connected to the WI15Z-1, use the control application associated to you Z-Wave hub. Weather / Optional Water Sensor Interrupt The WI15Z-1 can take instructions from your Hub to not run the pre-determined irrigation schedule. In the event that your local weather causes the WI15Z-1 to not run the re-determined irrigation schedule, the LED will blink red / green for as long as the valves are supposed to be running. Once the valves are turned off, it will stop blinking. All Stop In the event that you wish to stop the scheduled running of the irrigation controller, press the User Button on the front of the WI15Z-1. The LED will blink Orange for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds it will continue to blink Orange until the user presses the Button again, or the Hub tells it to go back to normal mode. Valve Fault Detection The WI15Z-1 can detect if a valve is disconnected or has damaged or shorted control wires. In the event that a Fault is detected, the LED will blink Red as long as the valve is running. Once the valve is turned off, it will stop blinking Red. Power Fault Detection The WI15Z-1 can determine if there is a problem with the power provided by the power supply. In the event that a Fault is detected, the LED will blink Red/

Orange until the problem is corrected. Bi-Color LED States Color Red-On Green-On Orange-On Red - Blinking Status No Hub Connected to Hub Stuck Button Valve Fault
