I have a Rainbird ESP-TM2 irrigation system installed with 12 stations (8 used). I use Rainbird HVF100 solenoids and a DAB K30/70 Auto pump that automatically starts when the solenoids open. The tank where I pump the water from is filled by a borehole pump, but this is a manual process I would like to automate as well. For now I am happy if I can get the irrigation controller to do this (which it can according to its documentation), but I am thinking of adding a float switch as well when I upgrade my tank capacity eventually.

Everything works like a charm, very happy with my work so far, but I am unsure how to connect the Rainbird controller's common and master valve wires to the pump start relay. Markings on the block connectors are not clear, and I obviously don't want to cause any damage to the pump or the controller. I posted some photos of the pump start relay below.

I live in a remote area, any advice will be appreciated, even if it's just pointing me to another, better suited forum :giggle:
