Alexandre JessonParticipantHi Ray
I was doing a video for you to show you the behavior and I saw an electric arc and the fuse broke. I replaced the damaged fuse on the 24v output but the controller doesn’t want to come back to life. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0oAYYe3l9VXCVSVYI9140hppw#Vouzon
I don’t feel lucky at this time :(What can I do now ? Thank you in advanceMay 25, 2020 at 9:15 am in reply to: 24VAC solenoid won’t turn on opensprinkler only reports 20mA #66389
Alexandre JessonParticipantI just tested on port 5,6,7 it still doesnt work cf photo.
About the triacs, how can I see it on the controller ? On the outside, everything seem ok.
Anyway how can I proceed for the repair ? Could you please send to me the process and the associated delay ?thanksAttachments:

Alexandre JessonParticipantYes I do confirm the sprinkler works fine if I plug the wires directly to the 24V output.
The impedance seems also fine for the solenoid cf photo
And it doesn’t work when I apply the wires directly to the slot 2 on the OpenSprinkler box cf photoIs there nothing I can do by resetting or is it an hardware issue ?

Alexandre JessonParticipantHi
Thank you Stefan for your advise. I thought the issue was the same than Nick and attached my issue to it but it appears to be an other issue at the end.
The WTF thing is a plug a use to disconnect easily the system. I disconnected the system this morning and continue to see 3600mA when I enable the slot as seen on the photo

Alexandre JessonParticipantThank you Ray for your answer.
I did some tests please find in attached files the results :
– photo 1) Test with slot 1 activated : around 17VAC
– photo 2) Test with slot 2 activated : around 28VAC
– photo 3) Test with slot 5 activated : around 28VAC but also slot 4
– photo 4) global installation with the 4 new rain bird sprinklers DV75. I thought the solenoid was not ok and tested with ohmmeter : 40 which seems to be quite good.
Whatever the voltage, I expected my sprinkler in off position to enable the flow when I activate the slot where the sprinkler is wired, and nothing happens.
I admit I spent 2 days to try to understand what is going wrong without success and am tempted to stop everything and send it back for refund but I can spend 2 more days if you can help to make it working. Thank you in advanceAttachments:

Alexandre JessonParticipantHello
I just receivied my all integrated box with 24VAC and Opensprinkler 3 to manage 4 Rain Bird DV 75. I did some tests and it doesn’t work. I tested the output tension directly on the green connection domino with a multimeter and results are variable. I mean for the 2 first slots tension is the same ~20V even if I enable the slot by the app. I’m not an expert but I should expect something like ~V when off and 24V when the slot is enabled. Do I need to check something on the app ? thank you in advance for your helpAttachments:
