Master station switches off

[charl.barnard]

Hi,
I have a new setup with OpenSprinkler, and I have a borehole which I wish to control with that. Once I define the station as master, and adding more stations to the program, and start the program, the Master station only briefly turns on then turns off again.
Surely the idea is that the pump station output designated as master should stay on as long as the sprinklers should be on?
Regards,
Charl

It’s possible it was turned off by overcurrent protection. You should check the homepage, or the LCD screen to see if there is an Overcurrent alert. Some pump start relays draw a lot of current and that can trip the overcurrent protection. You can increase the overcurrent limit in that case.

Thanks for the response. I now had a new borehole controller installed on which the overcurrent protection is active, and the controller does not show any overload, and also nothing in the logs.
Everything is exactly the same, however; the stations show being activated, but the station allocated to the pump goes red after a short while, and the borehole controller shows no activity. After waiting about 10-15 minute, the pump station suddenly activates, together with the other sprinklers.
Please assist wih how I may debug this further. I’ve got a 90% running system; it’s now only the pump start issue that remains.
Kind regards,
Charl

What is a borehole controller? Do you have a datasheet for it?
