More Info
|
The Irrigander 8 Pro Expander is comprised of two types of modules: an Encoder that is installed close to or inside the sprinkler controller; a Decoder that is installed close to the valves to be controlled. One dedicated field wire is attached to the Irrigander 8 Pro Expander's output. The 8 inputs to the Encoder are connected to any available 8 irrigation controller outputs. The dedicated field wire and the system wide common wire are connected to the Decoder and the outputs from the decoder are connected to the valves to be controlled. If more than 2 field wires are available, the remaining field wires can be used to drive additional valves. Add optional Irrigander Surge Suppressors to minimize potential damage from lightning.

Specifications
|
- Power Requirements:24 -30 VAC provided by irrigation controller
- Power: idling 0.3 watt, operating: 1.0 watt max
- Valves per Zone: Each output from the Irrigander 8 Pro expander’s Decoder can drive 1 or 2 valves. Connecting more than 2 valves to any single output may cause improper operation and may cause the protection fuse to open in the Encoder.
- Supported Irrigation Valves: Any 24 VAC solenoid activated irrigation valve can be used. DC low voltage valves should not be used.
- Supported Irrigation Controllers: Virtually any irrigation controller that uses 24 VAC valves and a common connection on the output can be used.
Operating Range: The Irrigander 8 Pro expander Decoder can be located up to 850 feet from the Encoder using 18 gauge field wiring or 2000 feet using 14 gauge field wiring. The valves to be controlled can be up to 100 feet from the Decoder using 18 gauge wiring.
- Simultaneous Active Zones: The Irrigander 8 Pro expander can only have one output active at a time. If more than one input from the irrigation controller is active, the Irrigander 8 Pro expander will only activate one output zone.
- Encoder Environmental Specifications: Operating: 0°C to +50°C (+32°F to +122°F) Non-Operating: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) The Encoder is not waterproof; enclose the Encoder unit in a suitable weather proof enclosure if installed outdoors.
- Decoder Environmental Specifications: Operating: -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F) Non-Operating: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) The Decoder is designed for harsh environments and is suitable for most outdoor conditions including wet environments. However the decoder should not be placed where it is operated continuously under water.
- Warranty:DUWA PRODUCTS LLC, hereinafter referred to as the manufacturer, warrants the Irrigander 8 Pro Expander to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for 1 (one) year from the date of sale.
