Diagnostic Features

• Alarm light with external case lens
2-Wire diagnostics to simplify and expedite troubleshooting
Four isolated wire paths prevent full system failure under a single short
2-Wire Mapping: Maps the devices to corresponding wire paths in the controller to help quickly fi nd and resolve issues
• Trending 12-month electrical history reports
and proactive action
Self-Healing: Automatically detect “fi xes” to wire path and splice issues and re-start irrigation without reliance on manual intervention
Two- Way Communication: With “Intelligent” Valves Modules communication happens both ways enabling key features
Self-Shutoff : Once loss of power is detected, automatically shutoff valve to avoid leaks.

Surge Protection

Proper grounding and surge protection is essential for 2-Wire installations. A 2-Wire path must be surge protected and grounded every 500 feet (150 meters) or every 15 devices, whichever is smaller.
The IVM-SD Line Surge Protector is used for this purpose
