Caution: The Rain Dial is designed to operate 24 VAC valve
solenoids rated at 0.25A (6 VA). Current total load must not
exceed 1.0A maximum. A maximum of two solenoids per station
terminal may be used, but not to exceed 0.5A per station. No
more than three solenoids (plus MV/Pump circuit) should be on
at any one time .
To prevent controller damage, do not link the valve common wire
of two or more controllers. Use a separate valve common wire for
each controller.
