Electrical Requirement Code of Magnetic Solenoid
SWITCH CODE DEFINITION 5 9 F, X, Y, 0
Use the chart above to select a suitable
electrical code for special solenoid (valve) types.
Note: To find a switch code that works with your valve, you may need to use the trial and error method.
Example: Activation Time = 40 ms. (milliseconds)
Arrows in chart show:
Holding Voltage = 2.3 volts
Switch Code = 59F450
If the solenoid opens but will not stay open, the holding voltage may be too low. Here, you would
change the fifth digit of the code.
Example: Activation Time = 50 ms.
Holding Voltage = 5.2 Volts
Switch Code = 59F5A0
If the solenoids are still not operating properly after repeated attempts, contact your Rain Bird
