Irrigation Tester Kit
DESCRIPTION
TEMPO Communications continues its excellence in irrigation system troubleshooting with the Model 24BK Station Master Pro. The upgraded Station Master Pro is a portable, battery-operated irrigation system tester that combines solenoid activation and wire identification for easy diagnosis of faults in irrigation systems.
The easy-to-understand LEDs notify the technician if sufficient voltage is being supplied by the controller and the condition of the solenoid. The solenoid activation mode is used to activate valve solenoids either from the controller or at the valve, along with testing continuity of the solenoids making it easy for the technician to find the fault. In chatter mode, the Station Master Pro will turn the solenoid off and on about once per second to aid in locating the valve by ear. In addition, it has the added functionality of providing tone generation to identify wires which can be traced with any TEMPO amplifier probe. It also includes a "bed-of-nails" clip and piercing pin bent nose clip for use on insulated wires. This way you can connect the unit for testing without cutting or stripping wires.
- The Model 24B operates on two 9 volt alkaline batteries and can safely hold open a working solenoid for hours.
- Equipped with premium "bed-of-nails" and piercing pin bent nose clips for use on insulated wires, allowing the technician to connect the unit without cutting or stripping the wires.
- The unit is housed in a high impact ABS plastic case designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in the field.
- Valve solenoid testing independent of the controller.
- No wire stripping required.
- Durable construction for outdoor use.
- Sends strong tracing tone.
- Can activate any 24V AC solenoid.
- Available as a kit (24BK) with a tone tracing probe.
- Troubleshoot irrigation systems.
- Chatter mode for audible locating of valves.
- Test solenoids for continuity.
- Send tone to identify wires.
- Check clock voltage.
- Low battery indication.
- Easy-to-understand LEDs.
- Tracing valve wiring.
- Locates underground solenoids.

Common Questions About the Tempo 24BK Irrigation Tester Kit
What is the Tempo 24BK Irrigation Tester Kit used for?
The Tempo 24BK Station Master Pro Kit is designed for troubleshooting irrigation systems by testing and activating valve solenoids, identifying wires, checking controller voltage, and locating underground valves.
Can the Tempo 24BK activate irrigation valve solenoids?
Yes. The 24BK can activate 24V AC solenoids from the controller or directly at the valve. Its chatter mode cycles the solenoid approximately once per second to help technicians locate buried valves by sound.
Can the Tempo 24BK trace irrigation wiring?
Yes. The Station Master Pro generates a strong tracing tone for identifying irrigation wires, which can be followed using the included tone tracing probe.
