rubber. The valve seat seal shall be constructed of fabric-reinforced natural rubber. The electric and
normally closed valve assemblies shall incorporate a I OO-mesh stainless-steel screen for the control
water, preventing entry of foreign materials into the pilot valve assembly. Rotation shall be
accomplished by a water-lubricated, compound-cluster gear drive with a bifurcated gear plate and
driven by a variable stator. The drive assembly shall be constructed of plastic and stainless-steel
components. The variable stator shall provide a consistent speed of rotation throughout the entire
nozzle range and shall not require adjustment or replacement if nozzle changes are required. The
body and cap of the sprinkler shall be injection-molded from ABS, a corrosion-proof, impact-
resistant, UV -resistant, heavy-duty plastic material. The sprinkler shall have two plastic filter
screens: a coarse screen in the body inlet, sized to prevent entry of larger foreign material from
entering the body, and a fmer screen threaded into the riser, sized to prevent foreign material from
clogging the nozzle. The sprinkler body inlet shall accept a 1" NPT or BSP male-threaded fitting.
All internal components shall be serviceable from the top of the sprinkler without disturbing the
body installation. The riser assembly and the internal valve assembly shall each be retained by a
single snap ring. The sprinkler shall have a riserlbody seal assembly that regulates flushing during

4.08 Secondary Surge Protection and Isolation (24V AC)
Secondary surge protection is recommended on all systems using electric valve in head sprinklers
(-06-). Hydraulic-controlled valve-in-head sprinkler systems do not require additional secondary
surge p:rotection.
Secondary surge protection varies by the
control :;;ystem specified. Network 8000, LTC
and Osmac provide as standard secondary
surge protection. Additional surge isolation is
required to minimize potential lightning
damage. The relay used to isolate the
sprinklers from ground is as shown on the
Osmac detail. Connection is principally the
same for Network 8000 and LTC with the
following difference: Insetad of connecting
terminal: #1 to an empty station, it shall be
connectl~d to the pump start terminal.
VT -II electric systems require secondary surge
protection, Toro part number TPDC 991-03 at
each sat,ellite.
4.09 Grounding Portion of Surge
Protection
It is the responsibility of the contractor to
provide surge protection for all electrical
equipment installed by them in relation to
the irrigation contract. Said protection
shall include but not necessarily be limited
to the kems described in the following
paragraphs .
The contractor shall place a good
grounding electrode at each point on the
#8 A WG bare wire segment where the
1000' spool runs out and at each satellite
location. This grounding electrode shall

length of eight (8) feet. If soil conditions, such as ledge rock, prevent eight driven electrodes,
one or more copper plates, 1/8" thick x 12" x 18" may be used in lieu of the grounding electrode
described above. The grounding electrode used should have a reading of no more than 10 ohms
resistance to the ground in which it is driven or placed. This grounding system at the controller
shall be connected by Cadweld connector to the #8 bare wire running throughout the primary
wiring system.
Resistance to the grounding electrode shall be measured by using a MEGGER direct reading Earth
Resistance Testing instrument as manufactured by James G. Biddle Co. of Plymouth Meeting,
Pennsylvania or a similar type measuring instrument.
NOTE:

Resistance is considered as poor ground and steps must be taken to
improve th~ grounding conditions.
If additional grounding is necessary, the
following method shall be used: In addition to
the cooper clad grounding electrode or copper
grounding plate described above, the
contractor shall install a #6 gauge solid
conductor noninsulated copper wire 150 feet
outward from the controller group or a
distance necessary for adequate grounding
protection. Minimum burial depth should be
at least to (10) inches and maximum burial
depth shall be twelve (12) inches. Said
grounding wire system shall be installed in an
area watered by the irrigation system thereby
providing moisture so as to ensure a good
grounding contact. This uninsulated wiring
shall be installed in an open trench which shall
be back filled in such a manner as to ensure
the largest possible wire surface to soil contact
area. The trench in which this grounding
system is installed shall be positioned in such
a manner as to provide a maximal distance
between the installed grounding system and
any and all controller power and
communication wiring as well as field control
wiring. Ifvibratory "plowing-in" or "pulling-
in" of the wire is to be used in the installation

NOTE:: Upon completion of the before mentioned installation and testing the contractor shall be
relieved of further responsibility in regards to obtaining a better grounding system. Wire integrity
testing shall be performed by Turf Care Products. Ground readings will be taken to determine
if furthl~r grounding is necessary. Power wire will also be measured to ensure conductivity is as
specified by the wire manufacturer (within allowable tolerances). This test will show, minimally,
the integrity of any power wire splices. The owner shall then be responsible for any further
modifications to the grounding system necessary to meet the grounding specifications.

troubleshooting. All 120 volt fuses shall have a pilot lamp in parallel to indicate a blown fuse
condition.

system manufacturer, with a U.L. label mounted on panel of enclosure.
28.3 All equipment and wiring shall be mounted within enclosure and labeled for proper
identification. All adjustments and maintenance shall be able to be done from the front of the
controls enclosure. A complete wiring circuit and legend with all terminals, components, and wiring
identification shall be provided. All controls shall be assembled from standard industrial electro-

30.3 Low discharge pressure safety circuit shall shut down pumping system in the event discharge
pressure drops below nonnallevel, indicating a broken main line or overdemand. Indicating light
mounted ill enclosure door shall signal low discharge pressure, and shall have a red lens. Pumping
system shall not operate until safety has been overridden by placing the override-nonnal switch in
the override position. Override shall also allow the pumping system to operate at low pressure for
filling lines or transferring water from irrigation reservoir to other locations.
30.5 Phase failure and low voltage safety circuit shall retire the pumping station if it experiences
low voltage, phase failure, phase reversal as monitored at line side of motor starter panels. Phase
monitor shall have a time delay to allow for transient low voltage during motor starting, to allow
maximum motor protection. Phase failure circuit shall have indicating light and manual reset.
Automatic reset of the phase protection circuit shall not be pennitted for safety reasons.
HIGH PUMP TEMPERATURE
34.1 High pump temperature safety circuit shall continuously monitor pump discharge water
temperature, by passing a small amount back to suction. Immediately upon reaching a temperature
of 160 degrees Fahrenheit pumps shall be retired, and indicating lamp shall be lighted. Pumps shall
not restart and lamp shall not go out until temperature drops and circuit is manually reset.
BOLTS
38.0 All bolts used in the assembly of the pumping system shall be cadmium plated to retard
corrosIOn.
INSTALL\. TION
41.0 Purchaser will be required to provide equipment and personnel at the job site to locate and
set station, and connect power and discharge piping for main irrigation line.
