Connect up to eight digital sprinklers per run using sprinkler cables and tees.

Cable Management

Details how to seal the ending connection on the last sprinkler in line.

Sprinkler Cable Management

Wiring Digital Zones

Wire controller cable to "iG 1-8" and "Common" for zones 1-8.

Cable Installation Best Practices

Avoid cutting/splicing, loop excess cable in valve boxes, protect connections.

CableLok Installation

Aligning Connectors

Align arrows on connectors and push together until they bottom out.

Securing CableLok

Place CableLok top and bottom over connectors, aligning ridges, and snap into place.

Protecting Cable Connections

Valve Box Installation

All connections should be protected by a small valve box installed next to the digital head below turf.

Flow Sensor Wiring to Controller

Red Wire Connection

Connect the red flow sensor lead to the "Flo1" terminal on the controller.

Black Wire Connection

Connect the black flow sensor lead to the "Common" terminal on the controller.

Ultrasonic Flow Sensor Installation

PVC Pipe Requirements

Install with 24" PVC before and 12" after the sensor for optimal readings.

Sensor Angle and Air Bubbles

Install at a 45° angle to prevent air bubbles from causing flow errors.

Flow Sensor Installation Details

Waterproof Connections

Use waterproof "DBY" connections supplied for flow sensor and splices in valve box.

DBY Connector Usage

Push wire nut into gel cap ensuring wires are totally sealed by gel.

IrriGreen Standard Valve Operation
