A common barrier to efficiently identifying a problem with electrical components used in an irrigation system is that a technician guesses or uses trial and error methods. The understanding and use of a multimeter are at the heart of productively determining an electrical problem with a controller or valve circuit. It saves countless hours and correctly identifies the problem. The 3-hour online training course interactively guides the attendees though the proper use of multimeters in order to correctly and efficiently identify the problem in a controller, valve wiring, solenoids, and splices. Attendees will pause the training to use a meter in our eLab practice sessions during the online instruction to practice real-world applications of the skills and knowledge on the valves and a controller in front of them. This repetition prepares them to immediately use the new skills and knowledge in their job.

Instructor: Dr. Michael Dukes Smart irrigation controllers have been commercially available for more than 20 years. Currently they are mandated in an increasing number of municipalities across the U.S. and are used around the world. These devices have evolved to many of the current devices that offer smartphone app capability. These devices have been proven to reduce excess irrigation when installed and programmed properly. This course will review smart irrigation controller basics and how they can reduce irrigation waste and increase irrigation efficiency. Best practices for the two types of smart controllers on the market will be discussed. Research results from the use of smart controllers and real-world implementation will be presented to help the attendee be prepared to optimally implement these devices.

Instructor:  Mike Yaruzzi Effectively and efficiently diagnosing a centrifugal pump is good for the client as well as the contractor’s business. In many cases, the pump is just replaced without knowing the cause of the problem or failure. Unfortunately, the pump was not the right one for the system and the new pump just fails again. This class will offer advanced pump troubleshooting skills for the irrigation technician to efficiently and effectively identify, and repair common issues associated with centrifugal pump failure.

The water source for an irrigation system cannot be counted on to be “clean” enough to not cause problems with the proper functioning of the system’s components. Filtration is often overlooked because of the confusion of the selection and installation. Course Outline:

• The Principles Filtration
• Filtration Selection
• Filtration Installation
• Group Practice and Review

This course will offer information about the reasons to incorporate flow sensing into an irrigation automation system and the basics of flow sensor operation.  The course will also explain the best practices of installing flow sensors in the piping system, wiring the sensor output to the irrigation controller and how the flow signal is used in their control logic. Course Outline:

• Rationale for Adding Flow Sensors
• Theory of Operation
• Hydraulics and Installation
• Signal Outputs and Transmission
• Controller Interpretation of Flow Sensor Signals
• Troubleshooting
