DIG LEIT-1 MVA Solar Powered Irrigation Controller Manual Valve Actuator

The LEIT 1 single-station ambient light (solar) powered controller with actuator is use to retrofit inch or 1 inch manual anti siphon valve. Powered by a photovoltaic module with a patented microelectronic energy management system, the LEIT 1 requires no batteries, AC power, or direct sunlight to operate, and can be installed above grade in any location where there is ambient light. Distinguished among the LEIT-1__ features are twenty preset monthly historical Evapotranspiration (ET) programs for spray heads and drip irrigation, with an editing feature that can be used as part of the controller programming.
