All LoRa
radio communications between the Wireless Valve Output
®
Module and the Wireless Valve Links (or Repeater) are two-way.
Whenever the Wireless Valve Output Module sends a message to
the Wireless Valve Links or the Repeater, it expects a response.
The two-way communications occur every time the controller
attempts to turn on a Wireless Valve Link station.
If the Wireless Valve Output Module does not receive a response
after a retry attempt, the module will announce the error both in
the controller display and with two internal beeps every 2 minutes.
•
The display will show the station number (or P for Pump/Master
Valve) along with Err to indicate which station failed to respond.
•
The beep will continue until either:
• the Wireless Valve Output Module is able to communicate
successfully with the unresponsive Wireless Valve Link
again, or
• you press the Reset button on the back of the controller
facepack.
Cause
Solution
Low battery
Replace batteries (or inspect solar panel, if
using solar power)
Environmental changes
Locate and remove obstacle, if possible
(e.g., obstructing
Elevate Wireless Valve Output Module antenna
vehicle, overgrown
Add Repeater
foliage)
Radio interference
Try a different channel (use the app) to
from other devices
eliminate interference
WVL internal failure
Check Wireless Valve Link LEDs in battery
(e.g., lightning)
compartment for functionality
Replace Wireless Valve Link if necessary
Use the WVL App to connect to the Wireless Valve Output Module,
and go to the Dashboard menu. Click Details. Any Wireless Valve
Link with a red status icon has failed to respond.
The most common causes of communication failures are:
The Wireless Valve Output Module range can be extended.
• Elevate the Wireless Valve Output Module antenna
with a Hunter Antenna Extension Kit up to 3 m. The
Antenna Extension kit is required for use in metal cabinet
controllers.
• Add a Hunter Repeater (model RPT in North America,
RPT-E in international markets).
