Valve solenoids burning out.
In the past 16 days I have had 4 of 8 solenoids burn out. (Hunter PGV 24vac). I have double checked my wiring and all connections are good and watertight. I want to test the voltage from the Yardian: what is the correct voltage I should expect?
From Hunter’s website:
606800
• Minimum opening/operating voltage: 19 VAC
• Maximum recommended voltage: 28 VAC
• Current at 24 VAC:
• 350 mA inrush, 190 mA holding, 60 Hz
• 370 mA inrush, 210 mA holding, 50 Hz
• Maximum operating pressure: 220 PSI
• Wire leads: 18' of 18 AWG UL-approved wire

Hi Michael,
Do you have a UK/CA mark on your power adapter product label?

Hi Michael,
We have been replacing the power adapters since 2023, but for some reason, you still received the older model. We will need to send you a new power adapter, and our support team will assist you at support@aeonmatrix.com.

Got the new power supply last week and installed it (has the UK/CA mark). It’s been rainy most every day here in south Florida so not mush chance for testing.
One day that these system did do a full watering schedule I noticed that the sprinklers in would turn off for a couple of minutes every 10 minutes or so.
No issues with internet and no messages. Only clue was “Yardian Offline”. I have not had a chance to actually check the control unit itself but I think that the power supply may be overheating after a couple of hours running (it takes about 3 hours to do all zones).
I am testing now as I write this and will post anything I observe.
