First time poster. Replacing a weathertec sl1600 and i believe i wired everthing properly, but my system isnt acting properly.
One zone is constantly on and many of the other zones just dont work at all. Any thoughts on the red/black/silver wires? I placed the red/black in the 24vac spots and the silver in the C.
I was able to connect to my wireless network sucessfully.
The Red/blk/silver connection you have there is for the wired weather station. You will not use those on the Rachio Unit.
From there, make sure your common goes to common and 1 wire to each of the station wires. Since you don’t have a master valve, skip the first terminal marked “M”.
@Drew - post pictures of Rachio wiring so the community can confirm the wiring. In addition to what @spscoutenPhD mentioned, the green wire from the top photo would be in a C terminal.
Thank you for the responses. I have removed the red/black/silver wires. The green wire was placed in the C terminal. (Pictures below)
The system will only run if I place the silver wire in the C terminal as well. I was only able to look for a moment, but I believe that the one zone that wouldn’t turn off is acting properly now. I have not tested all other zones. Will do this evening.
Do you have a picture of the device that the red/blk/silver wire was connected to? It usually goes to the Weathermatic onsite weather station but it is sounding like someone may have hooked it to a makeshift rain sensor of some sort.
The weather station should not have any use nor function with the Rachio unit.
Ok. That is the original Weathermatic wired weather station. It is just hard to fathom how its grounding wire can attribute to your system runnng or not.
