Rewiring Hunter Pro-C Solenoid Valves: Common Wire and Zone Wiring Guide

After a pet chewed through solenoid wires, proper rewiring is essential. The key is understanding the common (ground) wire and zone (hot) wires.

Wiring Basics

• Common Wire (usually white): Runs from controller's "C" terminal to every valve. Daisy-chained: one wire nut connects incoming common, solenoid wire, and outgoing common to next valve. Last valve has only common and one solenoid wire.
• Zone Wires (colored): Each valve gets a dedicated wire from its controller terminal (1, 2, 3…). Match colors at controller and valve.

Critical Tips

• Use waterproof wire connectors (gel-filled).
• If wires were cut and spliced, ensure same colors reconnect.
• For front/back yard valve groups, run separate common wires from controller.
