4. Alde solenoïde fuortsmite: Unscrew the old solenoid from the valve body by turning it counter-clockwise. Be prepared for a small amount of water to escape.
5. Inspect Valve: Check the valve body for any debris or damage. Clean if necessary.
6. Nije solenoïde ynstallearje: Screw the new Rain Bird solenoid (Model 236239) into the valve body clockwise until hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
7. Ferbine wiring: Connect the two wires from the new solenoid to the irrigation system's common and zone wires. It does not matter which solenoid wire connects to which system wire, as solenoids are not polarity-sensitive. Ensure connections are secure and waterproof using appropriate connectors.
8. Wetterfoarsjenning werstelle: Slowly open the main water shut-off valve. Check for leaks around the newly installed solenoid.
9. Testsysteem: Activate the corresponding zone from your irrigation controller to ensure the valve opens and closes correctly.

4. Bedriuwsinstruksjes

The solenoid operates automatically in conjunction with your irrigation controller. It can also be operated manually for testing or specific watering needs.

4.1 Automatyske operaasje

Once installed and wired correctly, the solenoid will receive electrical signals from your irrigation controller. When a signal is sent, the solenoid's plunger will lift, allowing water pressure to open the valve. When the signal stops, the plunger drops, and water pressure closes the valve.

4.2 Hânlieding

To manually open the valve:

• Locate the solenoid on the valve.
• Turn the solenoid handle approximately a quarter to a half turn counter-clockwise. You should hear water begin to flow.

To manually close the valve:

• Turn the solenoid handle clockwise until it is hand-tight. The water flow should stop.

5. Underhâld

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your Rain Bird solenoid and irrigation system.

• Periodyske ynspeksje: Annually inspect the solenoid and its wiring for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Clean Connections: Ensure electrical connections are clean and free of dirt or moisture. Replace waterproof connectors if they show signs of degradation.
• Kontrolearje op lekken: Regularly check around the valve and solenoid for any water leaks. Address leaks promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage.
• Winterisaasje: In regions subject to freezing temperatures, ensure your irrigation system, including solenoids and valves, is properly winterized to prevent freeze damage. Consult your irrigation system's main manual for specific winterization procedures.
