הוראות הפעלה

The Orbit 57034 valve offers both automatic and manual operation capabilities:

  • פעולה אוטומטית: Once connected to a compatible 24 VAC irrigation controller, the valve will open and close according to the programmed schedule. Ensure your controller is properly set up for automatic watering cycles.
  • Manual Operation (Bleed Screw): The valve features a manual bleed screw. This allows for quick testing of the valve operation or running a zone independently of the automatic schedule without an electrical connection. To manually open the valve, turn the bleed screw counter-clockwise. To close it, turn it clockwise.
  • התאמת בקרת זרימה: The integrated flow control allows you to fine-tune the water pressure to your sprinkler system. Adjusting the flow control can reduce sprinkler fogging and over-spray, optimizing water distribution. Turn the flow control knob to increase or decrease the water flow rate.
