Description
This irrigation solenoid is an electric actuator designed to convert electrical signals into hydraulic commands for automatic irrigation control valves. It operates with various irrigation automatic control systems and is compatible with standard irrigation controllers. Two power configurations are available: AC/DC combined and DC Latching, providing options to match different system requirements. The DC Latching version maintains valve position without continuous power, making it suitable for battery and solar-powered installations where power conservation is necessary.

Technical Parameters
The unit consists of a waterproof upper housing containing electrical and mechanical mechanisms, paired with a three-way water flow base that connects to control valves. An integrated manual override switch provides three operating modes: close, auto, and open, allowing manual control during system setup, maintenance, or electrical outages. The base interface measures 1/8" BSP, compatible with standard hydraulic control valves. The solenoid operates within a pressure range of 0-10 bar (0-140 psi) and withstands maximum ambient and liquid temperatures of 60°C (140°F). A filtration level of more than 80 mesh is required upstream to prevent debris interference.

Product Uses
These solenoids serve multiple commercial irrigation use cases. They enable remote zone control in large-scale automated agricultural irrigation systems. For greenhouses, the DC Latching version supports battery-backed controllers, maintaining operation during power outages. Their waterproof construction suits exposed orchard and vineyard installations, while long cable run capability allows centralized controller placement. They also work in remote sites without grid power, operating from battery and solar systems. Additional applications include golf course and commercial landscape irrigation, as well as retrofitting existing manual hydraulic valves to automated operation.
Product Operate Guide
To install, mount the solenoid on the control valve's three-way port, ensuring the base O-ring is properly seated. For DC and DC Latching operation, connect the red wire to positive and black to negative; for AC operation, no polarity distinction applies. Set the manual knob to the desired mode before electrical connection. Select appropriate wire gauge based on distance from the controller, and use waterproof conduit for underground installation. Regular maintenance includes inspecting wire connections, verifying manual knob operation, and maintaining upstream filtration above 80 mesh.
FAQ
AC/DC solenoids require continuous power to hold the valve open (90 mA open current, 75 mA holding current). DC Latching solenoids require only a pulse (80-500ms) to change valve position and consume zero power between pulses, making them suitable for battery and solar applications.
AC/DC type operates on 24V (18-28V range). DC Latching type operates on 12-40V DC.
The manual knob has three positions: Close (valve forced closed), Auto (valve responds to electrical signals), and Open (valve forced open). This allows manual control regardless of electrical signal status.
Maximum cable length depends on wire gauge. For AC operation, up to 3500m with 1.3mm² wire. For DC operation, up to 380m with 1.5mm² wire.
Filtration of more than 80 mesh is required to prevent debris from interfering with solenoid operation.
