[attachmentid=263005]Guys,
I tried to test one of my valves before I went to hook all of them up and had some problems. When I put power to it, I did not hear anything or see anything. Is this normal? I know that some valves need pressure in the tank in order to work, but I would have thought that I would have heard something. Is this an incorrect assumption?
I am attaching a diagram of the valve solenoid in hopes that someone will tell me how / if the valves are being wired correctly.
I basically tried four configurations.
1.) I grounded the valve using the ground terminal, then connected a hot wire to terminal 1.
2.) I grounded the valve using the ground terminal, then connected a hot wire to terminal 2.
3.) I grounded the valve using the ground terminal, then looped a wire from terminal 1 to terminal 2, then threw a hot wire on terminal 1.
4.) grounded the valve using the ground terminal, then looped a wire from terminal 1 to terminal 2, then threw a hot wire on terminal 2
Which one, if any is the correct way to wire them and is it normal for me not to be able to see/hear anything when powering up these valves with no back pressure from the tank?
