Nachdem ich das ganze Zeug installiert und getestet hatte, war ich so glücklich, dass alles gut funktioniert hat. aber meine Jägerventile PGV100 schließen nie mehr. zum testen habe ich die ventile direkt mit meinem trafo 24VDC 1A verbunden und es hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Ich denke also, dass die Zonenkontakte nicht richtig funktionieren. irgendwelche Ideen? Das falsche Netzteil? Ich brauche Hilfe, oder ich schicke den Netro zurück zu Amazon ...

Hi Saurik,


Yes we are pretty sure the DC adapter is the reason because this happens to many our users.

I can confirm this: first I used my old adapter from my Former control. Then I sold this one including the original adapter. I used a different one and had the problem, that the valves never close. It was a DC adapter. After I change to an AC adapter, the irrigation worked fine again and the valves close.

So pay attention: you have to use an AC Adapter which has an OUTPUT of 24V AC!!!
Often the Adapter called AC but this is only ment for the Input of 110V/220V AC and the output is 24V DC.
