Wiring the W900 Series Controller


Step 1: Locate the Input/Output Slots and Terminal Strips

Inside the controller, you will find input/output slots with input/output cards. Each slot can take one card, and there are terminal strips below. Each terminal strip corresponds with the input/output board directly above it.


Step 2: Identify the Correct Terminal Block for the Conductivity Sensor

It is essential to wire the conductivity sensor to the correct terminal block. In this example, we use input/output slot number one with a dual sensor input card. The conductivity sensor will be wired into the terminal blocks directly below the block on top (TB 1a).


Step 3: Wire the Conductivity Sensor

The conductivity sensor has red, black, green, and white wires, along with a grounding shield. Following the instructions:

  1. Connect the red wire to input 5.

  2. Connect the black wire to input 7.

  3. Connect the green and white temperature wires to inputs 9 and 10.

  4. Connect the grounding shield to input 11.

Wire these to TB 1a, as it corresponds to the sensor input.


Step 4: Replace Protective Covers

After wiring the conductivity sensor, replace the protective covers before closing the controller and proceeding with programming.


✅ Now, your W900 Series controller is correctly wired with a conductivity sensor and motorized ball valve, ready for programming and operation.
