Armada Technologies Pro50 Manual de usuario

Introduction

This guide is intended to acquaint you with the safe operation and

maintenance procedures for the Armada Technologies® Models

Pro50™and Pro50K™digital AC/DC Solenoid Activator/Multimeter

and kit. Read the entire guide before operating the Pro50™or

Pro210F™filter tone probe found in the kit. Keep this guide

available to anyone who may be required to use these products.

DESCRIPTION

The Pro50K™consists of a Pro50™tester, a Pro210F™advanced

tone probe, and a soft carrying case. The functions of the Pro50™

include:

•Testing 24V output from the clock/controller.

•Activating any AC or DC low voltage solenoid.

•Chattering any AC or DC low voltage solenoid for lost valve

locating.

•Powering two-wire irrigation control cables to allow fault finding.

•Sending beeping tone to identify wires.

•Measuring AC or DC voltage and resistance.

The Pro210F™Filter Tone Probe is an advanced inductive probe

for identifying wire termination points in conjunction with the

Pro50™transmitting in tone mode.

Safety

WARNING: To ensure safe operation and service of the Pro50™,

follow these instructions. Failure to observe warnings can result in

severe injury or death.

•The Pro50™is designed for use on low voltage circuits only.

•Connection to AC power line voltages could damage the Pro50™.

•Use the Pro50™only as specified in the user guide.

•Use caution around voltages above 30 VAC rms, or 60 VDC.

These voltages pose a shock hazard to the user.

A. Battery Test

1. A battery icon appears on the top right side of the LCD

screen of the Pro50™while in use. When batteries are

fresh, the entire icon should be filled and solid. When the

icon is empty, so are the batteries.

2. The Pro50™and the Pro210F™both require 4 AA batteries

each and are inserted on the back of each unit.

B. Operation

1. The power switch is located on the front of the Pro50™in

the bottom right corner. To activate, push the power switch

and hold until the screen becomes active.

2. The Pro50™’s LCD display shows the functions available

and test conditions. Themain screenis pictured below –you

can choose to work with;

a. F1: a 9 VDC (battery) system.

b. F2: two-wire fault-finding mode.

c. F3: a conventional 24 VAC system.

Select the test function using the F1, F2 or F3 Main Control keys

below the display.

F1: Operation with battery-powered controllers and remote

DC latching valve solenoids.

1. Connect the Pro50™to a zone wire and associated

common wire of the valve you wish to test and turn it on.

2. When selecting F1 from the main screen, the Pro50™can

test and operate the remote DC latching valve solenoids. On

this DC screen, use the F1 ON to activate the solenoid or

use F2 CHATTER to make the solenoid quickly turn on and

off to locate (BE SURE THE WATER IS TURNED OFF).

Selecting F3 turns both F1 and F2 off.

3. Press the left arrow to return to the main screen. Press the

right arrow to go to the next screen, which is the multimeter

screen.

F3: Operation with AC controllers solenoids.

Again, from the main menu, for AC valve actuation or chatter, use

F3. This takes the user to the AC solenoid menu (see picture

below). Once on this menu, the instructions are the same as above

in the F1 section.

F2: Two-wire irrigation fault-finding mode

From the main menu, press F2 to access the two-wire irrigation fault

finding mode. This mode places power on field cables via the test

leads, allowing the user to troubleshoot the system using a milliamp

clamp meter (like the Armada Pro95i). The clamp meter can detect

the current pulled by most two-wire components like decoders and

sensors on the field cable. To use this function:

1. Disconnect the two-wire control cable from the controller.

2. Connect the Pro50™test leads to the two-wire control cable

(red to red, and black to black). See image below.

3. Press F2 from the main screen. This will pull up the two-wire

fault-finding screen. See image below.

4. Press F1 ON to power the 2-wire cable. This will provide

power to thetwo-wire cable for 15minutes beforetiming out.

Press F2 if you’d like to change the timeout from 15 minutes

to 30 minutes.

5. Press F3 OFF to stop powering the two-wire cable.

6. Press the left arrow to return to the home screen.

How to Use the Digital Multimeter

To utilize the built-in digital multimeter, press either the left or right

arrow keys from the main menu screen. The symbols for Voltage

DC, Ohms, and Voltage AC will appear. See screenshot below.

Connect the Pro50™to the zone or item you wish to test. Press F1

for DC Voltage, F2 for resistance ohms, or F3 for AC Voltage. The

Pro50™has auto-range capability, meaning that the expected

range is not required to be entered into the Pro50™.

How to Send Tone

From the home screen, press either the left or right arrow two times

to get to the send tone screen. See picture below.

Then press F2 to activate the built in tone generator for wire

identification. The three lines will blink, indicating that tone is being

sent. A Pro210F™filter probe will be required to hear the tone at

the far end. When activating the tone, connect the red alligator clip

of the Pro50™to a single conductor that the user wishes to identify.

Connect the black alligator clip to ground for best signal. Once

connected and activated, the user can identify thecable attached to

the Pro50™by taking the Pro210F™to the far end of the cable and

listening for the loudest tone coming from a particular cable or wire.

The loudest is generally the wire to be identified.

included).
