Wiring to the ControllerThe WI15VZ-1 Controller has 28 terminal connections The recommended wire used to connect to terminals is in the range of 16 to 22 gauge single strand. To connect a wire to the terminal, use a small screwdriver or pen. While pushing in on the terminal block, insert the wire end into receptor hole (See Figure 3).Terminal Connection Identifi cationWiring Valves to ControllerThe 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.Valve Identifi cationDuring the valve wiring process, it will be helpful to label the valve name and location. There is a Valve Identifi cation Label located on the inside of the WI15VZ-1 front cover (examples: front lawn, roses, grass, southside, drip). Here is where valve information can be written (See Figure 5). Wiring of Optional Third Party Components to ControllerThe WI15VZ-1 Controller has provisions for a number of additional components. Each component has two terminal connections. See the fi gure below for more details. Be sure to run the wires from the terminals, thru the cable guide on the lower edge of the controller (See Figure 6 and 6A).Copyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC Power CommonMaster Valve/PumpPressureFlowMoistureRain234 5678 910 11 12 13114 15ValvesFRONT VIEW OF WI15VZ-1 CONTROL PANELCOMMONSOLENOIDWIRE NUTFEED WIRES THRUCABLE GUIDECABLE GUIDEVALVE 1VALVE 2Power CommonMaster Valve/PumpPressureFlowMoistureRain234 5678 910 11 12 13114 15ValvesVIEW OF WI15VZ-1 CONTROL PANEL WITHOUT FRONT COVER0.00.0MASTER VALVE/ORRELAY FOR PUMPPRESSURESENSORFLOWSENSORMOISTURESENSORRAINSENSORCABLE GUIDEVALVE 1VALVE 2VALVE 3VALVE 4VALVE 5VALVE 6VALVE 7VALVE 8VALVE 9VALVE 10VALVE 11VALVE 12VALVE 13VALVE 14VALVE 15TURN FRONT COVER OVERFOR CONTROLLERINFORMATION INSIDE OF FRONT COVERVALVE ID WRITE-ONLABEL180° QUICK REFERENCEGUIDEPROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONSTHE UPPER LED SHOWS THE STATUSLED STATESCOLOR STATUSRED POWER ON.

Remove the switch by tapping the push button 2 times. 3. You should see an indication on your controller that the “device was removed” from the network and the Green LED will blink 3 times.LED Status1. Pushing the button on the WI15VZ-1, will get the Irrigation Controller to associate with the Z-Wave hub (Figure 8).2. The LED should be red when fi rst powered ✓NOTE: Before the LED shows solid RED, it may go through a fl ashing sequence for self test..3. When the button is pushed it will blink green then alternate between green and orange, then go solid green.OPERATIONThe 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 confi gure the system to operate in this manner.To trigger a specifi c valve that is connected to the WI15Z-1, use the control application associated to you Z-Wave hub. Weather / Optional Water Sensor InterruptThe 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 StopIn 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 DetectionThe 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 DetectionThe 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 StatesColor StatusRed-On No HubGreen-On Connected to HubOrange-On Stuck ButtonRed - Blinking Valve Fault(open/shortGreen - Blinking Searching for HubOrange - Blinking Flow Fault (too low/too high)Red/Green - Toggle Off due to sensors or weather.Red/Orange - Toggle Power out of range.Green/Orange - Toggle Communicating with HubNone No PowerStatus Table for LED StatesPower CommonMaster Valve/PumpPressureFlowMoistureRain234 5678 910 11 12 13114 15ValvesFRONT VIEW OF WI15VZ-1 CONTROL PANELPOWER ADAPTORCopyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC Power CommonMaster Valve/PumpPressureFlowMoistureRain234 5678 910 11 12 13114 15ValvesSTATUSBUTTONBI-COLOR LEDRED LEDFigure 7.
