Troubleshooting: 510 battery operated controllers

• Valve fails to close:
• Verify that the water supply valve is fully open, and that the static pressure at the valve is greater than 10 psi.
• Verify that the flow control handle on the valve is at least half way open
• Verify that the manual lever is in the vertical (auto) position
• Verify that the puppet is in place in the bayonet, and the spring side is down
• Verify that the "O" ring #2 is in place in the hole under the bottom of the bayonet
• Verify that the flow rate of the system is greater than the minimum flow rate for the valve
• Verify that the hole in the diaphragm is clear an not blocked, and that the diaphragm is not torn or stretched or damaged
• Verify that the ports leading to and away from the solenoid cavity are clear and not blocked. The ports are located in the valve bonnet (2), and the valve body.
• Verify that the solenoid "clicks" when activated in the manual mode.
• Verify that the valve opens when the manual lever is turned to the on position, and that the valve closes when the lever is returned to the auto position
• Verify that the solenoid wires are not frayed, nicked or cut
• Valve fails to open:
• Verify that the water supply valve is fully open, and that the static pressure at the valve is greater than 10 psi.
• Verify that the flow control handle on the valve is at least half way open
• Verify that the manual lever is in the vertical (auto) position
• Verify that the ports leading to and away from the solenoid cavity are clear and not blocked. The ports are located in the valve bonnet (2), and the valve body.
• Verify that the solenoid wires are not frayed, nicked or cut
• Verify that the valve opens when the manual lever is turned to the on position, and that the valve closes when the lever is returned to the auto position
• Valve leaks externally:
• Verify that "O" ring #1 is in place around base of solenoid and not damaged or crimped
• Verify that bayonet is not cross threaded or stripped
• Verify that female threads in solenoid cavity are not damaged or stripped
• Verify that bayonet is not cracked or damaged
• Valve leaks internally:
• Remove diaphragm and check diaphragm seat for debris or damage. Clean diaphragm and remove debris if possible, if not replace diaphragm.
