Component tests
Test | Description | Target | Tolerance |
---|---|---|---|
Threads | Screw an NPT to barb adapter (with rubber gasket) onto the inlet. Connect a tube to the barb and pressurize the system with municipal water. | Adapter should thread on as expected and the system should hold water without leaking. | N/A |
Voltage | Connect the solenoid valve to a Farmduino and test operation. | Opens and does not get hot with 24V input | +/- 3V |
Terminal size | Connnect a solenoid valve cable. | The cable’s connectors should connect to the terminals as expected | N/A |
Terminal direction | Inspect the direction the terminals face. | Terminals should face the inlet | N/A |
Normal state | Try to blow air through the solenoid valve when it is unplugged/inactive. | Air should not pass through (the valve should be closed) | N/A |
Pressure Range | Inspect the label on the solenoid valve for the working pressure range. | 0.02 to 0.8 Mpa (3 to 116 PSI) |
