5.1 TESTS

Your SmartLine® controller can assist you with several diagnostic
functions by pressing NEXT when TESTS appears.
5.1.1

OUTPUTS

Use the UP 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 .15 to .35 Amps per valve
with a valve connected. 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.
5.1.2

BATTERY

Use the UP button to select BATTERY (applies to SL1600,
SL4800 & SL9600TW only), Push the Next button once to read
battery voltage status. A minimum of 7.5V is required to operate
the screen. SmartLine® controllers use a Real Time Calendar
Clock instead of a backup battery to maintain correct time
during a power outage. A battery is only necessary for viewing
the screen and programming when the panel is removed from
the housing.
Note: In order for the locator feature to work, you
will need to turn off the system water pressure at
the manual cut-off valve or water meter. Pressure
must be off while attempting to "chatter" a valve. The
SmartLine® controller will automatically sequence "chatter"
to each valve including the master valve(s).
5.1.3
Use the UP button to select 24V PWR. Push Next button once to
read output voltage for the transformer. Normal reading is 24 to
30 volts AC.
5.1.4
1 amp = 1,000 milliamps
This feature will create a "chatter" for a selected valve as a con-
0.250 A 250 mA
venient method of locating buried valves. Use NEXT button to
0.500 A 500 mA
scroll to the valve you want to "chatter."
0.750 A 750 mA

5.2 FAULTS

1.000 A 1,000 mA
This feature is used to identify problems that may require
attention or repair to insure proper operation of the system. Use
NEXT button to view the type of fault. If more than one fault
exists, you can use the UP and DOWN buttons to search for
additional faults. Use the NEXT button to view the type of fault.
If more than one fault exists, you can use the UP and DOWN
buttons to search for additional faults. Use the NEXT button on
the fault description currently displayed and the screen will read
CLEAR, press the NEXT button to CLEAR the fault and the fault
icon on the display will disappear. However, if the cause of the
fault is not corrected, the controller will continue to skip watering
a zone with a fault and will resume the flashing FAULT icon on
the display each time that zone is operated. If additional faults
are present repeat the procedure to remove them from the panel.
Once the faults have been cleared the screen will read, no faults
present. However, if the cause of the fault is not corrected, the
controller will continue to skip watering a zone with a fault and
will resume the flashing FAULT icon on the display each time
that zone is operated.
