Will the current flow from 2400VDC cause damage to the lawn?

How can you find and fix an #irrigation wire break in the field without having to replace the whole thing? Jeffrey Knight shows how in this new video! #Greenlee #Pulser

How far can I find a broken wire. I suspect to have a broken wire approximately 200+ feet away and I don’t have a very weak signal

The PE2003 has a 5000’ range from receiver to transmitter. Thanks for watching!

Do I need to disconnect the wire from the controller before using the pulser?

[@ewingoutdoorsupply]

Thanks for the question WC! Yes, this device sends high voltage pulses of electricity down the field wire so you definitely want to disconnect it from the controller before connecting the transmitter. Here's a link to the manual for further safety and operation instructions: www.ewingirrigation.com/pub/media/downloads/311/Greenlee-PE2003-Manual.pdf

Can I use a pulser for primary cable wire?

[@ewingoutdoorsupply]

Can i use with 2 wire?

[@ewingoutdoorsupply]

A clamp meter is usually used for detecting shorts in a 2-wire system. This article from Weathermatic might help you out. support.weathermatic.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042175293-Two-Wire-Troubleshooting-Guide Thanks for watching!

You should train your techs to shut off the receiver when moving it to avoid pegging the meter movement and causing damage.
