To connect the solinoids you will need a spike. The black which is ground (negative) connects to the circuit breaker panel where it says negative and the red connects to the same panel but to a 20 amp breaker not fuse. The m+ and m- on the spike is where you connect the solinoid. I believe that you take a black wire from one side of the solinoid and a red wire from the other side and put a connector to it, do the same for the other two. Also the programming for it is the default code which i believe uses relay outputs 2&3. Not sure on that one but this stuff should help you.
