A. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing DIG’s LEIT-2 controller, which operates as part of the LEIT-2 system. This manual describes how to get the LEIT-2 controller up and running quickly. After reading this manual and having been familiarized with the basic functionality of the controller, the manual can be used as a reference for less common tasks in the future.

B. About the LEIT-2 System

The LEIT-2 ambient light (solar) powered irrigation controller is an advanced wireless device that is programmed using the LEIT RC2 remote handset. The LEIT-2 controller is comprised of a photovoltaic module (PVM panel), 2 pairs of 18” (45 cm) station wires (labeled #V1 and #V2) used to connect the controller with up to two S-305DC solenoids, plus a pair of yellow wires for sensor connection. The LEIT-2 has an ultra-compact photovoltaic module that harnesses light energy to generate electricity that is stored and used to power the controller day and night in any kind of weather. The LEIT-2 controller is operated using the LEIT RC2 remote control handset, which has an operating range via a 2-way radio of up to 350 ft (100 m) line of sight.

The LEIT-2 controller requires daily exposure to light levels at a minimum of 3000 lux, which is equivalent to daylight around 7-8 AM on a cloudy day. On very cloudy days the controller requires more time to charge up and to operate with the radio.

IMPORTANT:

Communication between the LEIT RC2 handset and the LEIT-2 controllers are automatically limited to daylight hours when there is sufficient light energy. Longer bright light days will enable the radio to operate automatically over longer parts of the day, including through the night.

7. After installation is complete, turn the water supply on and pressurize the mainline. The valves will open momentarily and then shut off. Test each valve in manual operation by moving the manual handle from left to right to open and right to left to close the valve, making sure that the valve is operating correctly.

8. Splice the solenoid hot wires (red) to the controller incoming station wire (V1 red). Splice the solenoid white wire to the single incoming white wire (V1). If needed repeat for the second valve. Use 2 conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors. Leave slack on each side of the wires so that repairs can be carried out easily.

NOTE: The solenoid operates only with 2-way normally closed valves.

NOTE: V1 may be identified by label or striped wires.

IMPORTANT:

If a valve remains open in manual operation, you may need to examine the solenoid adaptor and sleeve to see that they are installed correctly and the adaptor is firmly secured. Do not over tighten the solenoid to the valve and do not cross thread the adaptor into the solenoid cavity.

CAUTION: For all valves with built-in internal manual bleed lever, make sure

the lever is in closed position. Do not move the lever after installing the solenoid with the valve adapter. If the manual lever on the valve is used, it can damage the adapter or the sleeve causing the valve to stay open.

2. Installation

2.1 Solenoid and Valve Installation

NOTE: Maximum operating pressure is up to 150 PSI (10.5 bar)

Use DIG’s 305DC-XXX valve-assembly or Model S-305DC solenoid and select the appropriate conversion adaptor for the valve(s) that will be used with the S-305DC solenoid (see list 1.2 #4 on Page 8).

1. Shut off the mainline to the valve.

2. Install valve assembly (model 305DC-XXX) or unscrew the conventional solenoid from the valve installed and remove the solenoid housing, solenoid stem, plunger, spring, and “O” ring (if necessary).

3. Select the appropriate conversion adapters for the valve(s) (see list above in

1.2 #4 on pages 8)

IMPORTANT:

Do not remove existing “O” ring on BUCKNER and SUPERIOR

valves.

When installing adaptor on BUCKNER and SUPERIOR valves remove

the adapter sleeve (model 30-424) before installing.

4. Thread and tighten the conversion adapter clockwise to the compatible valve port, do not over tighten (no tools necessary) (see a).

5. Make sure that the solenoid holder/handle is not inserted onto the solenoid housing and then, screw model S-305DC solenoid into the selected adapter. Firmly tighten the solenoid by hand, but do not over tighten (see b).

6. Slip the manual handle into the solenoid housing. Positioning the solenoid handle at a 40-45° angle towards the valve creates a manual lever; helpful for manual on/off (see b1-c).

Page 7

5. There are 6 wires or three sets of wires from the controller, 1 pair for each valve and 1 pair for sensor connection (labeled V-1, V-2 and S). Connect the controller’s output station wire (V1 red) to the hot wires (red) on the solenoid. Then connect the controller’s output station common wire (V1 white) to the white wire on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors. Repeat the same steps for station 2. Leave slack in the wires on each side so repairs can be carried out easily (see 6).

NOTE: V1 may be identified by label or striped wires.

6. Reattach the valve box cover on top of the valve box and if available lock the cover to the box (recommended) (see 6).

Option B: Mounting Column (model 30-831)

1. Excavate a trench from the valve to the column location and then, pull a set

of colored wires from the valve area to the mounting column location (one

2.2 Controller Installation

Option A: Valve Box Mounting Dome, color: green (model 30-830)

1. Lay the template on top of the rectangular or round irrigation box cover and drill 4-8 holes, make sure to review the template position on the valve box before drilling (see drilling instruction on the template) using 1/4” drill (.250”) (6 mm). The holes are used to hold the mounting dome to the irrigation box cover. Using the same template, drill 1 hole using a 1/2” (.500”) (12 mm) drill bit to allow the

wires from the controller into the valve

box cover (see 1-4)

2. Insert the controller into the mounting dome (see 3).

3. Insert the controller wires into the valve box cover (see 4).

about 3-4" (7-10 cm) from the controller and then, connect the controller output station wire (V1 red and white) to the incoming hot wires (#1 red or colored) using 2 small waterproof wire nuts. If necessary, repeat the same procedure for valve #2 using the wires labeled V2 (see 5). Next, bring the two yellow sensor wires through the small hole on the side of the mounting bracket (see 6). Finally, place wires with nut inside the bracket body and secure the plastic bracket into the controller using the 4 small Phillips screw provided (see 5-6).

5. Next, apply a thin layer of cement glue (included with the column) to the top on the outside area of the column and slide the controller-mounting bracket into place on top of the column (see 7).

6. At the valves, connect the incoming station wire (V1 red) to the hot wires (red) on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors. Connect the controller incoming station common wire (V1 white) to the white wire on the solenoid using conventional dry-splice waterproof connectors and if needed repeat for the second valve and sensor. Leave slack in the wires on each side so that repairs can be carried out easily (see detailed illustration).

pair for each valve). Each pair should consist of one white wire, and one red or colored wire, preferably of differing colors. Each pair should be taped and marked separately at both ends, so that the wires do not get cross-connected (see 1).

2. Insert the pairs of wires through the bottom of the mounting column and push the wires up through the column until at least 6"

(15 cm) of wire

extends from the top of the mounting column (see 2).

3. Install the mounting column, setting the curved bottom of the mounting column in an 8" x 8" x 6" (20 x 20 x 15 cm) frame and pour in the 90 lb (40 kg) sack of cement (see detailed illustration). Make sure the column is vertical and the opening in the curved bottom is accessible and unclogged (see 3).

IMPORTANT:

Make sure the cement pad is dry before continuing

installation.

4. Pull the 2 pairs of field wires from the valves through the center hole in the bottom of the mounting plastic bracket (see 4). There are three sets of wires from the controller, 1 pair for each valve and 1 pair for sensor connection (labeled V-1, V-2 and S). First, trim the controller valve wires to

5. Troubleshooting

The LEIT-2 wireless irrigation control system is a series of components consisting of LEIT-2 ambient light powered 2 station controller, the RC2 handset, S-305DC solenoids, solenoid adapters, hydraulic control valves, and wires/splices. It is best to troubleshoot this DC system (like an AC system) by a process of elimination; the goal being to determine which component(s) has failed. The following facts and tips may be helpful to eliminate certain components and facilitate faster troubleshooting. It is assumed that these are installed controllers that are receiving the proper amount of light. Keep in mind that the problem may be with more than one component.

5.1 Troubleshooting Controller

1. To test the controller’s output, connect a solenoid to one of the controller’s red and white wire pairs. Institute a test run via the handset with 1 minute on the station in question and zero minutes on the other station. If the solenoid is not installed, verify that the plunger retracts and extends or that you hear the sound of the plunger latching. If the solenoid is installed onto

6. If the valve is not opening completely, the adapter being used with the S-305DC solenoid may be to tight, the adaptor sleeve could be damaged, or the valve water passage down stream may be plugged and in need of cleaning.

7. Solenoid parts list

5.3 Troubleshooting Hydraulic Valves

1. Verify that the valve opens and closes using the manual bleed. If it does not, the problem is with the valve.

a. Verify that the static mainline pressure at the valve is below 150 PSI

(10.5 bar) and above 10 PSI (.7 bar). b. Verify that the valve size is correct for the flow rate of the system. c. The S-305DC solenoid should be installed only on normally closed 2-way

valves.

5.4 Troubleshooting Control Valves

1. Verify that the white common wire is connected to the white common wire on the controller and that the wire is from the same pair.

2. Verify that common and hot wire splices at the valves or splice boxes are tight and made with waterproof connectors.

3. 12 and 14 AWG direct burial single strand solid core irrigation wires are recommended; do not use multi-strand wires.

4. The controller software can detect wire faults or wire shorts.

a valve, see that the valve turns on and the sprinklers or drip system is working. If it does not turn on, the plunger does not retract and extend or no sound is heard of the plunger latching, repeat the process using a second solenoid. If the problem continues you may have an issue with the controller wires and the waterproof connectors.

2. The LEIT-2 controllers will only function with S-305DC solenoid or 305DCXXX valve

3. The LEIT-2 controllers will only function with compatible sensors (HUNTER MINI-CLICK or RAIN BIRD RSD)

5.2 Troubleshooting Solenoids

1. Verify that the correct solenoid and adapters are being used for the valve in question.

2. Verify that the white and red wires from the solenoid are connected to the white and red wire pair on the controller and that these splices are tight, and corrosion free.

3. Verify that no water is leaking externally near the adapter, stem, or bonnet.

4. Verify that all “O” rings and/or rubber hoses are in place, if in doubt, check the adaptor and the solenoid.

a. To test S-305DC solenoid, remove the solenoid from the valve and

disconnect the hot and common wires. Verify the solenoid functions properly using a 9-volt battery by briefly touching the wires to the positive and negative contacts. Reverse polarity if nothing happens. Plunger should retract. Reverse polarity to close, (plunger should extend and a sound of the plunger latching should be heard).

b. If the solenoid does not function with a 9-volt battery, check the battery.

If the problem with the solenoid continues after using a second battery, it should be replaced.

5. If the valve is weeping or not closing completely, the adapter being used with the S-305DC solenoid may be loose, cross-threaded, missing an “O” ring, the adaptor sleeve could be damaged, or the valve diaphragm inside the valve could be in need of cleaning or replacement.
