6.0 Advanced Functions

6.2 TESTS

Your SmartLine ® controller can assist you with several diagnos-
tic functions by pressing NEXT when TESTS appears.

6.2.1 OUTPUTS

Use the ▲ arrow to select OUTPUTS function. Then use
NEXT and BACK buttons to scroll through MV and Zone
Valves to view AC Amp reading for each valve. Scroll BACK
to OUTPUTS display to move to next diagnostic function.
Typical range is 150 to 350 mA per valve with a valve con-
nected. An OPEN or SHORT message indicates a problem
with a zone. Note: If you have more than one valve on a
zone, the SmartLine controller will measure total current for
®
the combined valves.

6.2.2 BATTERY

Use ▲ arrow button and Battery will flash. Use NEXT button
and you will see the DC V reading for the backup battery in
the SmartLine ® controller. A minimum of 7.5 volts is required
to power the display. If the reading is less than 7.5 volts, the
battery should be replaced. This function does not provide volt-
age readings for the 9V battery in the optional SLW weather
station. However, if you turn the dial to any Auto Adjust pro-
gramming position, the battery icon reading you see in the dis-
play is for the battery in the SLW weather station. SmartLine®
Controllers use a Real Time Calendar Clock instead of a
backup battery to maintain correct time during a power out-
age. A battery icon will not be seen in the display unless
you turn the dial to any Auto Adjust position to the check the
battery in the optional SLW. Battery usage is only necessary
for the programming when the control panel is open or
removed.
6.2.3 24V PWR
This function displays output voltage at the transformer.
Normal reading is 24 to 30 volts AC.

6.2.4 LOCATOR

This feature will create a
"chatter" for a selected
valve as a convenient
method of locating buried
valves. Use NEXT and
BACK buttons to scroll to the
valve you want to "chatter."

6.2.5 SLW BATTERY

If you turn the dial to any
Auto Adjust programming
position, the battery icon
reading in the display is for
the battery in the SLW weather station. SmartLine® Controllers
use a Real Time Clock/Calendar instead of a backup battery
to maintain correct time during a power outage. A battery
icon will not be seen in the display unless you turn the dial
to any Auto Adjust position to the check the battery in the
optional SLW control panel. Battery usage is only necessary

Note: If you are
not utilizing a
master valve,
you must turn off the sys-
tem water pressure at the
manual cut-off valve or
water meter for the locator
feature to work. Pressure
must be off while attempting
to "chatter" a valve. The
SmartLine ® controller will
automatically turn off MV
output when a "chatter" test
is initiated.
