The Independent, Preferred Power Irrigation Solution
The LEIT X controller is a programmable, self contained, water management irrigation control system. It can be programmed to control 10 to 28 zones using the 1600HE solenoid, spanning an area of over one mile with up to 12 independent water schedules per zone. The LEIT X controllers can be installed in any outdoor location.
How much light is needed?
The LEIT controllers are unique to all other water management and irrigation control systems because of the controller's ability to harness ambient light to generate electricity. The electricity is stored in long life non-battery based super capacitors and used to power the controller. This feature allows the LEIT X system to operate in any area, in any weather conditions, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. On a normal day with direct sunlight, an average range of 5,000-100,000 lux can be measured. The LEIT X controller requires a minimum of 8,000 lux for normal operation.
Combine the advanced programming capability of the LEIT X controller with the advantages of solar power and it is obvious why the LEIT families of controllers are the top choice for today's irrigation needs.
The LEIT X is an advance ambient light powered water-management irrigation controller. The LEIT X has a new improved menu base that allows for a wide range of irrigation programs, such as valve grouping, independent programs and more. The photovoltaic module harnesses the energy of ambient light to power the unit both day and night anytime and anyplace. Designed for sprinkler or drip systems, the LEIT X is a commercial water management controller for any type of environment and for a wide range of applications.
