Grounding Techniques for Two Wire Decoder Irrigation Systems
The components used in irrigation control systems, particularly those in decoders, are very vulnerable to voltage surges.
Proper grounding is required for any surge protection to work. Good grounding dissipates the surge to a path to ground. The grounding path has less impedance than the path through the irrigation equipment. Redirecting the surge to the ground protects the equipment.
Poor grounding frequently leads to unnecessary component failures, system down time and customer complaints.
Since lightning and surge damage is never covered by manufacturer warranty, it is in the installer’s best interest to follow these guidelines to install the most resilient system.
Several different methods of grounding might be used. This video reviews common techniques and installation methods. For further assistance contact Regency Wire and Cable at www.RegencyWire.com

Proper Wire Splicing for Two Wire Decoder Irrigation Systems
Переглядів 17 тис.4 роки тому
The difference in a decoder-based irrigation system that operates reliably and one that doesn’t is frequently in the quality of the waterproof wire splices. Because of the sensitive electronics used in a decoder system, the smallest short circuits will cause a malfunction. Follow the wire splicing procedures in this video - and the manufacturer’s guidelines - to avoid damage to the system AND t...

    I tested the control panel for incoming AC voltage at the transformer it had the correct amount. Each of my 4 zones do not show any AC power leaving the box. I then tested the solenoids from the box, and they all show they are good (42 Ohms. What does this mean for my system? All the screws for the common and zone wires are secure. Any ideas?

    This is a clear, concise video to help diagnose why your sprinkler valve is not operating. I used it to test the controller and the voltage at the valve itself. I determined that the connection of the common wire to two valves was inadequate. I stripped the wires and reconnected them and the problem was fixed! Thank you for an outstanding video!

    I have a station that won't work. It is getting power to the solenoid as I can hear it starting but no water... also have another station that won't turn off! Different junction for both (front and backyard are separate).

    What if the volt out put is AC 25.6 and ohms 27.3. However, they valve will not manually turn on at the valve box. The heads pop up try to start then drop back down. Then pop up again trying to start only to drop back down and nothing happens.

    I have a Hunter system that was operating find 2 weeks ago... now zones 1, 2, and 3 are functioning as usual, but zones 4, 5, and 6 are not functioning at all. I have water pressure to these zones because I can turn the solenoid 1/4 - 1/2 turn and the problem zones will operate. Interestingly, the 3 zones that are not operating are all on the same power 'terminal strip', while zones 1, 2, and 3 are on a separate 'terminal strip'. I've gone as far as to move the leads from terminal positions 4, 5, and 6 to terminal positions 7, 8, and 9 (the next terminal strip up, and visually completely separate), but the zones are still not operating... even though the controller indicates that they're in operation. I've been through the steps that you demonstrate in your video, but I'm not getting the 20 - 60 ohms on terminal strips (4, 5, 6) or (7, 8, 9). Could both of these terminal strips have gone bad? Any suggestions are appreciated...

Thank you so much! 👍

La unica opcion que me funciona es cerrando la llave de pase de agua. Le ha sucedido a varios vecinoa en la comunidad. Sera que el sistema salio malo de fabrica o problema de instalacion o alguna otra? Ya que dudo que las 4 valvulas esten dañadas.

Lo mismo con la 4, es decir 1y 4 riegan a la vez. se apaga la 4. La zona 5 riega con la 1, despues se añaden 6 y 7. Cuando se riega la zona 7 se estan regando 1+5+6+7.

Ya probé de todo desde cambio de flotante eléctrico y nada cambio de contactor y nada, puede ser falla del controlador hunter x core nunca me había pasado

    Hello there. Just want to share my problem with my sprinkler now. I have a multiple-zone sprinkler and every station is working properly except one. This station will works when you run it manually for “second time”. For example, if you run that station manually the first time, heads will not pop out. Then turn it off and run second time, it will start working. Then, if you turn off it and try to run third time, not working. Basically it’s like one time working and the other will not, looping… Do you have any thoughts what will be problem?

    Any suggestions for a system that won't launch properly? The first two rotors splutter out water, and the rest do nothing. If I intervene, and pull on the second rotor slightly to help it launch, then the whole system springs into life! I've replaced the second rotor several times, assuming that the fault is in the individual rotor, but the problem persists.
