Shorted Path (Manual Method) cont.
Alternatively you can measure current draw in your system using
Diagnostics/ Diagnostics/Controller Output:
NOTE: Before measuring the amperage, calculate the approximate
current that the 2-wire path is consuming.
System Amperage Calculation
Quantity of IVM-SOL X 0.67 mA
+
Quantity of IVM-OUT X 0.67 mA
+
Quantity of other IVM-SEN X 6 mA
=
Approximate total system amperage in mA
If there is a mismatch, follow a process similar to page 10 to disconnect
50% of devices and redo calculation above. Continue todisconnect 50% of
devices until you identify section of 2-wire Path with issues.
NOTE: Self-healing: Note that IVM Controller tracks the health
of the 2-wire Path to see if shorts are resolved and then
automatically resumes irrigation. You do not need go back to the
Controller to reset or restart.
