How can you test your lines on the system
To test the lines on the Orbit 27894 system:
1. Turn on the problematic station, or start a manual cycle.
2. Use a voltmeter set to AC volts.
3. Insert one voltmeter prong into the common terminal and the other into the terminal for the station being tested. Ensure wires are connected properly.
4. The reading should be 24–30 volts AC.
5. Repeat for any other affected stations.
6. If voltage is correct at the timer, test at the valve:
- Keep the manual cycle running.
- Locate the valve box and identify the correct valve.
- Measure voltage at the valve wires; it should also read 24–30 volts AC.
