    useful for me too

    in reply to: fw 2.1.5: 24h problems #46785

    because of my hardware (rev. 2.1), upgrade to 2.1.7 isn´t possible (avrdude error).

    error 1:

    You didn’t show how long your program is set to run to I couldn’t tell that information

    the prog is starting at 9:00 am – (only) one station ist running 12h
    additional start time is set to 9:00 pm – so the same station is (should) running again 12h
    –> the additional start time is never starting !

    error 2:
    cannot store 24h for a station in a prog (so I used the workaround with 2x 12h !).
    The max input & correct stored running time is 16h (17h = Sunrise to Sunset, 19h = 0:47, 20h = 1:47h …).

    Update – changed config slightly:
    – running one station: 12h (per program)
    – additional start times: fixed
    1) enabled 9:00 pm

    Result: the additional start time is never executed but is showed in “program view”.

    Any help is appreciated.

    problem solved: the electrical contacts were interchanged.

    I hope I found a solution:

    The pressure switch switches at present directly the well pump.
    The idea is that it will turn on 4-phase impulse switching relay.
    To this relay both pumps are connected (4-wire, 380V, each connected as a group).
    In addition, this relay is connected via the 24V control line directly to the Opensprinkler.
    For the OS, the relay is an irrigation section, which e.g. is turned off on even days, and on on odd days.

    If the pressure switch now detects a vacuum the current is switched through to the switching relay.
    The relay drops the stream then passed to the respective pump.
    If the pressure switch detects no vacuum, the relays is without electricity.
    In this case (it´s a failure of the supply voltage for the relay) the switch power off defined.
    Here, the circuit state could be changed.
    But next time the relay is switched on, the OS control would work again and switch to the correct circuit/pump.

    The impulse switching relay is a Eltako ESR12Z-4DX-U

    You are right – I used mistakenly a AC/DC power supply.
    So I bought a 230 VAC/ 24VAC transformer and now it´s working.
    Thx for the hint !

    I found the problem:

    • Insert the 24V AC wires into the orange terminal (AC has no polarity so the two wires have no distinction)

    from
    http://rayshobby.net/docs/os_fw214_manual.pdf
    As I swapped the wires, the Opensprinkler started (without USB) immediately 🙂

    But it started a valve (24 VAC only for testing purposes connected) too and never set them to “active low”.
    Starting “Run-once-Program” starts the solenoid/valve immediately but never stop it. Same with “Stop All Stations”.
    Disconnecting COM, station or switch off Opensprinkler stops/close the valve.

    What I need to do to open and close (high-/low) the solenoids/valves ?

    does this mean that both 24VAC and USB are plugged in at the same time when you did the firmware upgrade?

    yes

    has the controller ever worked with 24VAC

    yes, before the update + now only with a USB connection.

    perhaps the fuse is blown

    I checked the fuse. It was ok

    or other components were damaged

    which ? I have no block diagram and no possibility to check it.
    This is reason why I asked for any hints to check for the failures before I have to buy a new one.
