versed. (Valves are off
when they should be on)

nizes the GPS node but

nections

Corrective Action
Replace the node
Check to make sure the valve cable
connections on the node PCB are cor-
rect
Disconnect the valve plug and check
that the terminals are all connected
Check wire terminals on valve and in
node panel
Check the GPS cable connection on the
Tornado board
Make sure the "GPS" DIP switch on the
node board is turned "ON". The system
will need to be restarted before any DIP
switch setting changes will take effect
Open the Field Map plan and expand
the irrigation system file to see the
nodes. Select the GPS node and check
to see that it is listed as a "feature
member".
If all other actions have not corrected
the problem, the GPS and/or Tornado
board may be faulty. Replace the GPS
and Tornado boards with new ones.
