Battery Zone
No power? No problem! Battery Zone easily upgrades a solenoid valve to automatic control. Installing new irrigation or adding a valve in a place where power isn`t easily accessed? Battery Zone is the easy solution that provides economical battery-powered control of standard irrigation solenoid valves. No need to run new power wires through the landscape. The Battery-Zone is also ideal for retrofitting manual systems to automatic operation, or working around existing bad wiring. The Battery Zone installs quickly: just thread off the existing solenoid, and then thread on the solenoid from the Battery Zone. Adapters are provided to fit popular brands. The Battery Zone uses two standard 9-volt alkaline batteries to power the controller`s display and to actuate automatic and manual cycles. In a typical application, the battery will last for at least one full irrigation season.

Double Switch
Does activating 2 valves with only one pair of good field wires sound impossible? Not with Double Switch. Now you can solve broken wire headaches without needing to trench in more wiring. Just like other popular doubling devices, the Double Switch will alternately activate each of the zones with every other cycle of the controller.

Chatterbox Valve Locator
Now there’s a fast and easy way to locate lost valves, the Chatterbox. It fits in the palm of your hand and can be quickly connected to any 24-volt irrigation controller to help you find buried valves fast. Once connected to the specific zone wire at the irrigation controller, the unit will cause the solenoid on the wire to “chatter”. The vibrations and sound will lead you right to the valve’s location.
