If your Galcon Irrigation System valve isn't opening during automatic or manual operation, there are a couple of things to check: * Ensure the Valve Handle is in the AUTO position. * Try replacing the batteries, as weak batteries can prevent the valve from opening.
How to fix a Galcon DCS with no display?
If your Galcon Irrigation System has no display, the first thing you should do is replace the batteries. Weak batteries are a common cause of this issue.
Why is the sensor icon flashing on my Galcon Irrigation System and the valve won't open?
If the sensor icon is constantly flashing on the display of your Galcon Irrigation System and the valve isn't opening, it could indicate that the sensor is shorted. Try replacing the sensor or repairing the sensor connection.
