Tester for sprinkler solenoids, clocks, wiring
This is a refurbished Pro48 solenoid activator chatterer for diagnosing and fixing irrigation or sprinkler problems. Armada Technologies does not sell to the public except in very unusual circumstances, like this. Here's the marketing copy on it.
Got a sprinkler that doesn't work? The Pro48 is designed to locate lost valve boxes, check clock voltage, diagnose shorts or cut wires. Here are the details.
Chatters Solenoids or hold them open.
Generates 1Khz Tracing Tone.
Checks Clock 24v Power Output.
Tests for Open or Shorted Wiring.
Uses 2 9v Batteries (not included).
The Pro48 Solenoid and Clock Checker is a new low cost tester for irrigation contractors and maintenance personnel. The TechTool performs a series of simple procedures to test, verify, and identify solenoid, wire, and clock problems. Solenoids can be checked using either activation or chatter modes. Lost or buried solenoids are quickly found as well by listening for the chatter of the solenoid that the tester is linked to via the zone wiring. Wiring can be verified and tagged with the built in tone generator (you will need a probe for this function, not included). Clocks also are tested for proper 24v transmission with a simple LED power check.
Made from a grommited, thick walled plastic case, the highly visible yellow Pro48 is designed for rugged use in the field.
There is an instructional video at , under the training button.
For the home owner not familiar with these, the wires to the solenoid and the solenoid itself must work for the solenoid to chatter. These now sell for $94 retail. Progressive 24b 24a 24 tempo greenlee 521 521a pro700 pro300 528
