Valve Wire Sizing Procedure Step 1 Determine actual distance, along wire run, from controller out to the first valve on a circuit and between each succeeding valve on a multiple valve circuit (as shown in example below). Example: (Two watt solenoid, 26.5 volt transformer at 150 psi water pressure at valves.) Step 2 Calculate the equivalent circuit length for each valve circuit on the controller. (See chart on following page) Step 3 Selecting Common Ground Wire Size: Using the longest equivalent length calculated above, go to the appropriate valve chart and select a ground wire and a control wire that are as close to the same size as possible (the ground wire size should always be equal to or one size larger than the control wire size.) In the example above, the circuit for station #3 has the longest equivalent length, 7000 feet. In the chart (for this example use the high pressure chart for 150 psi water pressure at the valve and a 26.5 volt transformer) select a wire size combination of size 14 and 12 wire. Select common ground wire as size 12 wire. Since one common ground wire shall be used for all valves on the controller, you have now established the common ground wire size for that controller as size 12 wire. Step 4 Sizing Circuit Control Wires: Using the common ground wire size selected in Step 3 (size 12), proceed to select each control wire size from the chart using the calculated equivalent length for each circuit. Station #1: Equiv. Length = 1 valve x 2000 ft. = 2000 ft. select size 18 control wire Station #2: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 1000 ft.) + (2 valves x 2000 ft.) = 5000 ft. select size 16 control wire Station #3: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 500 ft.) + (2 valves x 1000 ft.) + (3 valves x 1500 ft.) =7000 ft. select size 14 control wire Electrical Specifications ·Power: 24 VAC 50/60 cycle Model solenoid ·DV-DUIT ·Inrush current: 0.41 A (9.84 VA) at 60Hz ·Holding current: 0.28 A (6.72 VA) at 60Hz ·Coil resistance: 28 Ohms, nominal Model ·SOL-ADA Solenoid Adapter DV-DUIT 126 Valves www.rainbird.com 2001 Catalog
