Fantastic! Thanks for the link. I see Hunter XC hybrid has been tested and works with RainBird TSOB DC solenoids.
I wonder about the
DIG R710DC +
DIG 30-921 combo, will it work too? It's cheaper than TSOB solenoids...but maybe I'm pushing it by using a Hunter controller, DIG solenoids and RainBird valves!
More generally, all these battery operated controllers operate on 9V to 12V DC power source. Thus, I'm thinking the DC solenoids from one manufacturer _should be_ compatible with another's controller. In the case of the
Hunter XC Hybrid , the 6x AA alkaline batteries will produce ~9Vdc, same as the 9Vdc of the
DIG 740-000 battery controller , which is designed to work with the
DIG R710DC solenoids . The 6x AA batteries should be able to delivery a higher current pulse than 9V batteries too.
Wish manufacturers included technical info about their solenoids like DC resistance, inductance, current needed to actuate so one could assemble as system with confidence.
