ACloud Sprinkler Wiring

The AgroGlide Cloud Sprinkler™ operates from a 26V DC plug pack power supply, allowing it to run on an AC mains supply ranging from 110V to 240V, at 50Hz or 60Hz. The DC power supply mitigates voltage spikes and fluctuations from the mains before they reach the Cloud Sprinkler™. Additionally, the DC power supply is much lighter compared to a 24V AC transformer, contributing to the Cloud Sprinkler's low weight compared to other irrigation controllers. The inverter inside the Cloud Sprinkler™ converts the DC voltage into a regulated 24V AC, which powers the solenoid switch and runs the two-wire power rail. This helps extend the life of the solenoid and pump relays. The DC power supply has polarity markings: connect the positive (red wire) to the terminal labeled +V DC and the negative (black wire) to the terminal labeled -V DC.

The Cloud Sprinkler™ features built-in direct zone terminals for wiring, similar to conventional controllers, as well as a built-in Two-Wire option for connecting zones and sensors through a single pair of cables. This Two-Wire option helps reduce both installation time and maintenance costs. It is also easy to extend zones and sensors for future use. Simply extend the two-wire cable to connect up to 24 zones and two master/pump relays on the Cloud Sprinkler CS-10 model, or up to 99 zones and 6 master valves or pump relays on the Cloud Sprinkler™ CS-100 model. Additionally, a variety of other sensors, such as pressure, water level, moisture, temperature, water meter, and switch input, can be connected. These sensors make the Cloud Sprinkler™ smarter and more powerful than any other irrigation controller on the market.

For direct wire connections, use the "COM" terminal for all common connections to solenoids, master valves, or pump relays. The same "COM" terminal is also used for the sensor common wire, as both "COM" terminals are internally connected.

For the Two-Wire option, connect the cables to the "AG-Port" and "COM" terminals.

The rain switch can be connected to the "Rain SW" and "COM" terminals. There are two types of rain switches available on the market: Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Opened (NO). Any type of rain sensor can be connected, and the app provides an option to select the sensor type used in the system. The app also offers a variable Rain-Off delay setting of up to 3 days, so a rain switch with a built-in delay is not necessary.

There are two pulse-type water meter options available for monitoring both pumps' flow and flow rate. The water meter can be configured for 1, 10, 100, or 1000 liters per pulse. The Cloud Sprinkler™ itself detects flow deviation errors to identify any broken pipes or sprinklers in the system, generating fault alarms and automatically adjusting schedules. This feature works based on the water meter inputs. Additionally, the system includes a leak detection function on the board, which also operates using these inputs.

The Cloud Sprinkler™ is also capable of connecting sensors such as pressure, tank level, counter, switch, temperature, moisture, and more, allowing you to schedule programs based on sensor data. All these sensors can be connected through a two-wire cable using the "AG-Port" and "COM" terminals. Connecting sensors through a two-wire system reduces the amount of cabling, complexity, cost, and maintenance procedures.
