Orbit 57604 Manual De Instrucciones

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Valves must be installed a minimum of 6" above the highest sprinkler head (check local codes). There must be no back pressure on the
valve, and no valve on the downstream sidte of the anti-siphon.
1. Attaching the Valves
After flushing the lines, install the valve to the manifold with an adapter or nipple. Solvent weld versions can be cemented directly to the
manifold using standard PVC solvent cement. For pipe thread versions, be sure to use thread tape generously on all male threads. Do
Not Overtighten. Do not use pipe joint compound. Note arrow for water flow direction. Valves must be installed a minimum of 6" above
the highest sprinkler head (check local codes). There must be no back pressure on the valve, and no valve on the downstream side of the
anti-siphon.
2. Attaching Sprinkler Lines
Attach sprinkler lines to the valve with an adapter or nipple. Solvent weld versions can be cemented directly to the lines using standard
PVC solvent cement. The use of a union at the inlet and outlet of each valve will allow for easy valve maintenance.
3. Running the Wire
With the power off, connect the valves to an Orbit® sprinkler timer or a residential standard 24 volt sprinkler timer. Use a multi-colored,
multistrand jacketed sprinkler wire. Be sure the wire has at least one more strand than the number of valves in the manifold. Trench and
run the wire to the valves. It is recommended, in areas that you will be frequently digging, that you use a section of PVC pipe as a protective
covering.
4. Attaching the Wire
Attach a colored wire to one valve wire on the solenoid and a common wire to the other wire on the solenoid. It doesn't matter which solenoid
wire you use as the common. Attach the colored wires to the corresponding zone terminal in the timer and the common wire to the common
connection in the timer. Use standard sprinkler wire (20 gauge) for distances less than 800 feet and 18 gage wire for over 800 feet. Use an
Orbit Grease Cap and Wire Nut at each valve connection (See manifold assembly below). Also waterproof any splices made along the run.
5. Close the Sprinkler Valves
Make sure the Lifter, for internal manual bleed, is rotated clockwise to the closed. The flow control stem should be in the fully open (counter-
clockwise) position.
6. Test the System
After all pipe and fittings have been installed (allowing sufficient time for PVC glued joints to dry—24 hours), turn the water supply on and
check for leaks with the valves closed. The valves may come on momentarily while initially pressurizing the line, but will shut off in a few
moments.
7. Open Valves
Turn the manual bleed Lifter counter-clockwise to manually open the valve. Check the downstream pipe and fittings for leaks. Now close
the Lifter. The valve will shut off in a few moments. The system is now ready to be controlled electrically from the timer or manually by
opening the internal manual bleed Lifter. (Caution: Frequent manual operation of the valve using the internal manual bleed Lifter is not
recommended. This type of manual operation is for trouble-shooting and occasional use.)
8. Adjusting the Flow control
The optional flow control stem can be adjusted to control the water flow or output pressure from the valve. This is especially useful when
the valve is used for watering flowers, shrubs or garden areas. Adjust the flow control stem top of the valve (clockwise to restrict flow,
counter-clockwise to increase the flow). NOTE: The flow control stem is not a positive shut-off.
9. Draining
In freezing areas, the valves and lines will need to be drained. Refer to the Orbit
® Layout Guide or your local dealer to recommend proper
drain points. To insure the electric valves are completely drained in the fall, turn off the main sprinkler shut-off valve and electrically run
each valve dry for a few minutes. Turn the timer to the "off" position until spring.
NOTES:
• For outdoor use on cold water only. Valves should be placed so that water drains away from the house. If you will not be using culinary
water, you must use a filter up-stream of the valve(s).
• All manifolds should be made of Schedule 40 PVC Pipe or Galvanized Fittings and Pipe. The use of Orbit's
method of building an expandable yet easy to service manifold assembly with built-in unions.
• Local codes specify location and type of valves required. Check local codes for installation requirements.
• If static water pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulator should be used.
• Pressure test all water lines and electrically test all timer connections before covering pipe and timer control wire.

ELECTRIC VALVE TROUBLE SHOOTING
Your Orbit Anti-Siphon valve should provide years of trouble-free service. However, if you do have any problems, try the following solutions.
®
PROBLEM: THE VALVE WILL NOT OPEN
First, attempt to open the valve manually by lifting the internal manual bleed Lifter (counterclockwise). If the valve will not operate manually:
Check If
1. The valve is installed incorrectly
PROBLEM: THE VALVE WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRICALLY
Check If...
1 The wiring and timer are
installed correctly
2.There is debris in the port hole
3. Defective Solenoid
4. Solenoid plunger is stuck
5. Pressure is too high
PROBLEM: THE VALVE WILL NOT CLOSE.
Check If...
1- The valve is installed incorrectly
2- Lifter in open position
3- Solenoid plunger is stuck
4- Rock or debris is between the
washer and the valve seat
5- Diaphragm has ruptured
PROBLEM: EXTERNAL VALVE LEAKS
Check If...
1- PVC fittings going into
valve installed incorrectly
2- Pressure is too high
3- Water is Leaking around screws
4- Leaking below Solenoid
Manifold Fittings is an easy

5- Leaking around the Anti-Siphon Lid

Solution
Make sure that the arrows are in the direction of water flow and that the flow control is in the
open (turn counterclockwise until fully open) position. Check the water supply line for water
pressure.
Solution
Check the wiring at the valve and at the timer (refer to your timer instructions). Also, check
to see that the timer is working properly including the timer's transformer, fuse (or reset
button), and programming.
Turn off the water. Remove the Solenoid. Push a wire or large paper clip down through the
round port hole, working it up and down to free any debris. Be sure the plunger and O-ring
are in place when reassembling the solenoid on the valve.
Turn off the water. Unscrew the Solenoid and replace with one from a working valve. If the valve now
works, replace the defective Solenoid. Be sure the plunger and O-ring are in place when reassembling.
Turn off the water. Remove the solenoid and clean out sand and debris. Be sure the plunger
and O-ring are in place when reassembling them on the valve.
Install a pressure regulator valve and set at about 80 PSI.
Solution
Make sure that the arrows are in the direction of the water flow.
Check that the internal manual bleed Lifter is in the closed position (clockwise).
Turn off water. Remove Solenoid and clean sand and debris. Be sure the plunger and O-ring are
in place when reassembling them on the valve.
Turn off the water. Remove the valve lid and Diaphragm assembly and clean the interior
of the valve.
Turn off the water. Remove the lid and inspect the Diaphragm for tears. Replace the
Diaphragm assembly if torn.
Solution
Use teflon tape generously on threads and tighten firmly. Do not overtighten. Do not use
pipe joint compound.
Install a pressure regulator upstream of the valve and set at about 80 PSI.
Turn off the water. Undo the leaking screw 4 or 5 turns and retighten firmly.
Turn off the water. Tighten the Solenoid.
Verify that the valve is installed a minimum of 6" above the highest sprinkler head
(check local codes). A small amount of leakage while the valve is turning on or off is nor-
mal. For large leaks, loosen the Anti-Siphon lid and check the condition of the lid gasket
and the seal carrier.
