ABSTRACT:
A programmable automatic sprinkling system includes a housing, a cover, a fluid manifold, and a plurality of programmable valve controllers each including a fluid valve, an inlet fitting and an outlet fitting. The fluid manifold includes several fluid outlet fittings or ports and an inlet fitting that is attached to a source of pressurized water. The inlet fitting of each programmable valve controller is fluidly connected to an outlet fitting of the manifold. The programmable valve controllers are self-contained controllers each having a motor actuated valve, a power source such as a battery, and a microprocessor based controller that includes an input keyboard and a display that provides visual feedback to the user regarding the state of the controller and timer program information. An alternate embodiment of the programmable automatic sprinkling system includes a single programmable controller that actuates a plurality of motor actuated valves. The controller includes microprocessor based system having a keyboard and display for inputting program information such as open and close times for the valves of the system.
