Third Party Rain Sensors
This is to detect rainfall 
and automatically suspend
watering, resuming after
the sensor dries out
Remove the link connector
between C and R, and replace
with 2 wires from your rain
sensor as shown below
Your WX8 is compatible with
our EVIE Sensor. Refer to the
sensor manual for setup help
EVIE Sensor will already be
connected if it was included
with your WX8 package
Pump Connection
Your WX8 doesn’t provide mains power to drive a pump. It does provide a
low voltage signal to actuate a relay, enabling the contactor and the pump
Do not attempt to drive a pump starter directly from the controller
Pump start is provided by connecting one side of the coil from a
suitable relay to the MASTER VALVE/PUMP START (M) output of
the controller and the other side to the controller common
Unused stations must be connected back to the last used station to
prevent running against a closed head if run times are incorrectly set
Troubleshooting
|
Symptom |
Suggestion |
|

When adding your WX8 to Holman Home:
|
|
WX8 was connected |
This indicates a lack of Wi-Fi signal. You will need to move your WX8 and Wi-Fi router closer to each other |
 AP LED is OFF |
Your WX8 cannot connect; check your Wi-Fi router |
| AP LED is RED |
|
| No LED lights on | No AC power, or a blown fuse or transformer. Check fuse and transformer output. Turn power on |
| Single zone not working |
Faulty solenoid coil, or break in field wire. Check solenoid coil (a good solenoid coil should read around 33Ω on a multi meter). Test field cable for continuity. Test common cable for continuity |
| No automatic start | Setup error, rain sensor is wet, MAIN DIAL is in OFF position, or blown fuse or transformer. If unit works manually then check the setup, rain sensor status or MAIN DIAL position. If not then check the fuse, wiring and transformer is supplying 24V AC (measured on a multimeter) |
| Buttons not responding | Please contact our Customer Service team |
| Multiple zones watering at once |
Possible faulty driver triac, incorrect field wiring or broken or lost common wire in field. Check wiring and swap faulty valve wires on the controller terminal block with known working zones. If the same outputs are still locked on, please contact our Customer Service team |
| Pump start relay chattering |
Faulty relay or pump contactor. Find an electrician to check voltage on relay or contactor |
| Rain sensor not working |
For third party sensors, this could be faulty wiring or sensor. Check rain sensor information on Holman Home and check the wiring on sensor. For our EVIE Sensor, refer to the sensor manual provided for troubleshooting |
| Test function not working |
