the sensor dries out

Pump Connection
 Your WX8 doesn’t provide mains power to drive a pump. It does provide a
low voltage signal to actuate a relay, enabling the contactor and the pump
 Do not attempt to drive a pump starter directly from the controller
L Pump start is provided by connecting one side of the coil from a
suitable relay to the MASTER VALVE/PUMP START (M) output of
the controller and the other side to the controller common
 Unused stations must be connected back to the last used station to
prevent running against a closed head if run times are incorrectly set
