Irrigation Pump Relay Wiring

Wiring 24 vac use a minimum distance of 15 4 5 m between the controller and the relay to dampen electromagnetic noise.

Irrigation pump relay wiring.

A pump start relay serves as a switch that activates 110 220vac power to the pump when the generation 1 smart sprinkler controller s master valve is enabled. This device is imperative when you are using a pump to supply water to your irrigation system. Rain bird pump start relays work with a lawn controller s start stop command to facilitate the electrical path from the breaker box to the pump motor. In addition to this recommendation hunter also recommends all controllers be mounted 15 4 5 m away from pumps and high voltage devices.

The relay changes the irrigation timer to normal household voltage. Rain bird s line of pump start relays offer the protection and reliability that your irrigation system needs when using a pump to pull water from an external water source like a pond creek or low pressure potable water source. Pumps are built to use normal house currents. Mount the pump relay a minimum of 15 feet from both the irrigation control box and the pump as electrical interference can occur if the devices are mounted in close proximity to each other.

Pump start relays reliable pump performance and protection. This video demonstrates how to properly wire your lawn sprinkler pump and explains the wiring on the unit itself. Suitable for conventional wiring or two wire decoder activation allows flexible installation options provides a solution for irrigation controller and pump start relay installations that have insufficient power to activate the pump includes solid state relay and local 24 vac transformer for simple psr activation. Since the generation 1 controller outputs 24vac a pump start relay is required when using a pump with the generation 1.
