housing for OpenSprinkler-Installations
Lately I've been asked a lot about housing for outdoor installation. Are you interested in matching cases?
This is a waterproof and dustproof case for outdoor installation. Suitable for 1x power supply 35W and 1x OpenSprinkler. In principle also for 1x zone expander, but then it has to be placed at the bottom. power supply and OpenSprinkler are mounted on a DIN rail, brackets for the OpenSprinkler are included.
The transparent lid is sealed and screwed. However, you should not expose it to the sun, otherwise the contents will heat up too much.
Interest? Please mail to info@checkboxit.de
Do I have to take it pre-assembled when I use the opensprinkler dc with lan take? Or is the case only for the ac version with a separate power supply? Thanks
Hallo,
for the DC model we do not have a DIN rail power supply in our range. Of course, you can also simply put the supplied power supply underneath, but that's not the point. Or you can get an alternative DC DIN rail power supply.
In any case, the housing is designed for a DIN rail power supply unit and OpenSprinkler, maybe even with Zone Expander. Ideally suited for the AC version with DIN rail power supply.
Such a housing is particularly advantageous if you want to expand it later, e.g. with a relay for the light switch, a threshold value switch for the humidity, a zone expander or if the installation simply needs to look professional.
Alternatively, of course, the housing can also be used without pre-assembly, it has a metal rear wall and this allows the OpenSprinkler mount directly on it.
Hi there,
I intend to use the OpenSprinkler controller system on my new 500sqm lawn.
My property has a well from where I intend to get all the necessary water, when and if available.
My two questions are:
a) Can I use OpenSprinkler with a pump relay? If affirmative how? Do I need to create a delay to start the water pump in relation to the other valves?
b) Often during the Summer months the well may not have enough water and I would therefore like to switch the system to use water from the local water company. Is it possible? How can that be achieved?
Regards from Portugal
Hi,
a) yes, OpenSprinkler 3.0/3.2 AC has two master watering switches. You can define a starting and an ending delay.
b) you can use the second master watering switch for a 24VAC 3-way valve (or 230VAC with a 24VAC/230VAC relay). Enable it for the well, disable for local water company. Or use this one for manual switching: https://opensprinklershop.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/3-wege-umschalter.jpg
Many thanks. I'll be placing an order soon! cheers
