All LoRa
radio communications between the Wireless Valve Output Module
®
and the Wireless Valve Links (or Repeater) are two-way. Whenever the
Wireless Valve Output Module sends a message to the Wireless Valve Links
or the Repeater, it expects a response.
The two-way communications occur every time the controller attempts to
turn on a Wireless Valve Link station.
If the Wireless Valve Output Module does not receive a response after a retry
attempt, the module will announce the error both in the controller display
and with two internal beeps every 2 minutes.
•
The display will show the station number (or P for Pump/Master
Valve) along with Err to indicate which station failed to respond.
•
The beep will continue until either:
• the Wireless Valve Output Module is able to communicate
successfully with the unresponsive Wireless Valve Link
again, or
• you press the Reset button on the back of the controller
facepack.
Use the WVL App to connect to the Wireless Valve Output Module, and go to
the Dashboard menu. Click Details. Any Wireless Valve Link with a red status
icon has failed to respond.
The most common causes of communication failures are:
Cause
Solution
Low battery
Replace batteries (or inspect solar panel, if using solar
power)
Environmental changes
Locate and remove obstacle, if possible
(e.g., obstructing vehicle,
Elevate Wireless Valve Output Module antenna
overgrown foliage)
Add Repeater
Radio interference from
Try a different channel (use the app) to eliminate
other devices
interference
WVL internal failure
Check Wireless Valve Link LEDs in battery
(e.g., lightning)
compartment for functionality
Replace Wireless Valve Link if necessary
The Wireless Valve Output Module range can be extended.
• Elevate the Wireless Valve Output Module antenna with a Hunter
Antenna Extension Kit up to 9' (3 m). The Antenna Extension kit
is required for use in metal cabinet controllers.
• Add a Hunter Repeater (model RPT in North America, RPT-E in
international markets).
