LEIT 1 Manual Valve Actuator

LEIT 1 Manual Valve Actuator

DIG’s LEIT 1™ single-station solar powered controller with an actuator is used to retrofit a 3/4” or 1” manual anti-siphon valve. Powered by a photovoltaic module with a patented microelectronic energy management system, the LEIT 1™ requires no batteries or direct sunlight to operate and it is used above grade in any location where there is ambient light. Distinguished among the LEIT-1™ features are 20 preset monthly historical Evapotranspiration (ET) programs for spray heads and drip irrigation, with an editing feature that can be used as part of the controller programming.

Features:

  • No direct sunlight required
  • Environmentally friendly with no backup battery or AC power necessary; uses clean, renewable solar power
  • Power is provided by an internal, high-efficiency photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system fueled by ambient light
  • Simple, icon-based intuitive programming
  • Simple Smart™ historical ET feature automatically adjusts irrigation schedules monthly
  • Power level meter indicates the approximate charge (energy available)
  • Used to retrofit a 3/4″ or 1″ manual anti-siphon valve
  • On activation, the controller indicates if irrigation is set to water for the day and if any of the additional programming features are active
  • Daily and monthly programming restriction options to comply with city and municipal watering restrictions
  • Semi-automatic and manual operation with timed countdown to off
  • Program On/Off button allows the user to turn off the controller and reactivate it as desired
  • Retractable coiled cord for easy programming and review
  • Utilizes RoHS compliant components
  • Reset option allows erasing of all programs to default settings except time, day and date
