Understanding Irrigation Master Valves and Their Wirings |
Posted: September 21, 2018 |
Master valves are essential equipment when considering the installation of an irrigation system. It is an electric valve that completely controls the water flow from the supply point. The valve helps reduce water leakage from a leaky station valve as it supplies pressure to it. As the name suggests, it masters the water supply in case your irrigation main line damages. A master electric valve is similar to your station valves, but instead of being installed in the downstream from the main line, it is installed at the front of the line in the upstream and is connected to the master pump in the controller. Let us now understand the master/pump valves wiring: Usually the timers in the sprinkler systems supply power to a relay so that it could send power to the sprinkler pump. The sprinkler systems use secondary water and are supplied water at very low temperatures.
This is the complete cycle. On completion of this cycle, power to the sprinkler valves is shut off by the timer/controller. At the same time, it shuts off the power that is supplied to the relay and the pump. Although it varies from timer to timer, most of the pump valve circuits are by default on the sprinkler controller/ timer. Its configuration is technically simple. However, users no longer have to select the zone to which the valve is connected to, as now the option will completely depend on the controller selected when you set up the controller for the first time.
