Installation Instructions

VERNON MANUFACTURING RECOMMENDS THAT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN PERFORM THIS WORK.  ALL MACHINES SHOULD BE INSTALLED USING A DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND SURGE PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL BUILDING CODES. CHANGES IN WIRING OR OBVIOUS SHORTING WILL VOID WARRANTY.

Mounting bolts are not furnished. Your application and wall thickness will dictate length. Recommend ½" carriage bolts, washers and nuts.

An 18" x 18" opening is required. The 24" x 24" aluminum plate has four ½" mounting holes on 22½" centers. Measure and drill mounting holes in your wall and mount the assembly.

The water valve is marked for direction of flow. It must be installed in a horizontal, upright position, protected from freezing and mounted low in the system to create backpressure against it. If not mounted in this manner, it may not shut off correctly. A gate valve is recommended ahead of the water valve to aid in cleaning and repair.

Loosen the screws on the ½" connector holding the incoming power wire and bring your wires from the solenoid valve in to the box. Connect them to the terminal strip using the empty spaces that correspond to the red and black wires already connected to the timer (forked connectors are furnished). If your machine is equipped with an automatic drain, wire both solenoids in parallel. The extra green wire from the solenoid is ground and can be connected to a bolt on the valve. CONNECT ALL WIRES COLOR TO COLOR.
