Operation:
The L-Type Diverter Valve can be controlled using a relay module connected to an Arduino UNO. Below is an example code snippet:
// Example code to control the L-Type Diverter Valve using Arduino UNO
// The valve is connected to a relay module, which is controlled by pin 7.
const int relayPin = 7; // Pin connected to the relay module
void setup() {
pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); // Set the relay pin as an output
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Ensure the relay is off initially
}
void loop() {
// Turn the valve ON (activate relay)
digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
delay(5000); // Keep the valve ON for 5 seconds
// Turn the valve OFF (deactivate relay)
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
delay(5000); // Keep the valve OFF for 5 seconds
}
Note: Use a relay module rated for 120VAC to safely control the valve. Ensure proper isolation between the Arduino and the high-voltage circuit.
Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Valve does not switch flow | No power supply or incorrect wiring | Check the wiring and ensure 120VAC is supplied. |
Fluid leakage | Loose or damaged fittings | Tighten fittings or replace damaged parts. |
Slow or delayed switching | Low voltage or mechanical obstruction | Verify voltage and inspect for blockages. |
Overheating | Prolonged operation or excessive pressure | Reduce operating time or check fluid pressure. |
