the wire laid in the trench.
Step 4
Bring enough wire up through the PVC conduit to reach the control board.

" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach
these ends to the 16VDC OR SOLAR terminals located on the terminal
block). Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each other!
Insert one transformer wire into a 16VDC OR SOLAR terminal. Insert the
other transformer wire into the remaining 16VDC OR SOLAR terminal. The
transformer wires can be connected to the 16VDC OR SOLAR terminals
regardless of color/polarity.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab of household
petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion.
