LogicPLUS-S Two-Wire Controller 5
Wire type: Single strand direct burial, Jacketed two conduc-
tor, or Stranded. No “Special” wire required.
Wire Size: Minimum 14 gauge.
Wire Runs: Maximum 12,000 feet for each two wire path
(4 available).
Branching & Teeing: Allowed but should be well planned and
minimized.
Wire Color: Use of different colored wires is recommended
for ease of wire run identification. Use different
colors for each run and every tee or branch.
Wiring Installation: Each individual output, including branches or
tees, should be kept separate from the wiring of
other outputs.
dO nOT connect the wires of a field output with
those of another OR any branch or tee.
dO nOT “Loop” the field wires back to the
controller OR back onto themselves.
dO nOT splice and direct bury wire
connections/splices. All wire connections/splices
should be made in valve boxes.
Maximum Valve Operation:
A maximum of 8 valves, any where on the system, may operate simultaneously, of either the
same number or combinations of different numbers. The 8 valve maximum plus 3 master
valves (A, B, C) plus 1 fertigation valve.
Wire Connectors:
One of the most critical installation requirements of a LogicPLUS-S two wire system is the
quality of your wire connections. If you follow these directions you will have a reliable, depend-
able control system for many years. It is suggested to soldier all receiver (red wire) connec-
tions to your main two-wire run. Next install the soldiered two-wire connection in a waterproof
underground connector housing. When soldering is impractical, a waterproof “dry-type” Hit
Products DBC-BR wire connector is required. The above mentioned product will provide an
uncontaminated, dry connection. A pair of DBC-BR connectors are included with every LP-RP
Receivers for the connection of each Receiver to the two wire path.

do not use pre-filled wire nut connectors as they will impede the transfer of the signal
through the wire splice.
