1.5 Valves
(Stations)
Valves, or stations are controlled and operate according to irrigation programs.
The controller is programmed to send signals to valves, which open and close on a timed schedule.
When a program is finished, the controller shuts off that valve and provides electrical signal for the
second valve to open and so on.
