Armada Technologies Pro2TK™ Irrigation Multi-Function Valve & Solenoid Tester

Product Details

The Armada Technologies Pro2TK™ is the ultimate "first-response" diagnostic kit for irrigation professionals. This specialized bundle combines two of Armada's most popular handheld tools—the Pro2™ Solenoid Activator and the Pro95™ Milliamp Leak Detector—into one rugged, padded carrying case. Designed to streamline the troubleshooting process, the Pro2TK™ allows technicians to quickly verify if an irrigation controller is sending power, test the integrity of a solenoid, and "chatter" a valve to find it underground. By including the Pro95™, the kit also empowers users to identify high-resistance shorts and ground faults that cause controllers to "fault" or fuses to blow. This kit is engineered to save hours of labor by providing clear, instant data on the electrical health of any 24V irrigation system.

What's Included in the Kit:

• Pro2™ Generation 2 Solenoid Activator: A portable power source that can operate a 24V solenoid without a controller. It features a "chatter" mode to help locate buried valves by sound and a built-in LED to verify circuit continuity.
• Pro95™ Milliamp Leak Detector: A high-precision clamp meter designed to measure the tiny current leaks (milliamps) that indicate nicks in wire insulation or failing solenoids.
• Padded Carrying Case: A durable, high-visibility case that keeps both tools protected and organized in the service truck.
• Premium Leads: Includes high-quality alligator clips and test leads for secure connections to controllers and valves.

Key Specifications:

• Compatibility: Works with all standard 24V AC irrigation solenoids.
• Fault Detection: Detects ground faults, short circuits, and open circuits.
• Current Measurement (Pro95): Ranges from 0 to 600 Amps AC, with 1mA resolution for leak detection.
• Power (Pro2): Utilizes two 9V batteries (not included) to provide 24V equivalent power to the valve.
• Valve Locating: Built-in "Chatter" function pulses the solenoid to create a vibration/noise audible from the surface.

Common Troubleshooting Workflows:

• Step 1: The Controller Check. Use the Pro2™ leads at the controller terminals to see if the station is outputting 24V. The LED light will instantly confirm if the clock is the problem.
• Step 2: The Valve Chatter. If the controller is fine but the valve won't open, use the Pro2™ in "Chatter" mode. The rapid clicking of the solenoid helps you find a lost valve box buried under mulch or grass.
• Step 3: The Leak Test. Use the Pro95™ clamp meter around the common wire. If you see a current reading higher than normal while no zones are running, you have a wire leak or a short circuit that needs repair.

Common Questions:

Q: Can the Pro2™ damage my irrigation controller?

A: No, as long as you follow the instructions. The Pro2™ is an isolated power source designed to be used independently of the controller to test the field wires and solenoids safely.

Q: Does the Pro95™ work like a standard multimeter?

A: It is much more sensitive. While a standard multimeter measures high-voltage amps, the Pro95™ is specifically designed to measure "leakage" in milliamps, which is crucial for finding small nicks in buried wires.

Q: Is this kit suitable for 2-wire (decoder) systems?

A: The Pro2TK™ is primarily designed for traditional multi-wire (24V AC) systems. For decoder systems, specialized diagnostic tools like the Armada Pro50™ or Pro900™ are recommended.
