Initial Steps
Log into the Ops Center
Navigate to the Devices page
Confirm that all devices (base, relays, valves) assigned to the farm are online and have battery levels greater than 35%, by clicking the pencil icon for each device and navigating to the Telemetry tab
For any devices that are offline or exhibiting low battery, follow these troubleshooting steps
Testing Procedure
Pressurize the irrigation system
Open each valve for at least 4 minutes. This may be done manually using the Control Button on the valve, or by scheduling irrigations in the Ops Center
Note: Lumo valves sync every 6 minutes, so a minimum test duration of 12 minutes per valve ensures there’s an opportunity to collect multiple data points to verify functionality
Test Verification
Navigate to the Activity page in the Ops Center and review each test irrigation to confirm that the valve opened and closed on time (either at the press of the Control Button or at the scheduled time) and that the valve tracked flow.
The flow rate and volume are displayed on the activity page. Click on an individual irrigation to view the Flow Vision chart for more specific details of the test
Example: successful test irrigation
Example: no flow tracked during test irrigation
Additional Troubleshooting
If the valve fails to open/close or track flow, follow these troubleshooting steps, and retest the valve once the issue is resolved:
No flow tracked
