ArborValve DC (AM-VD1)

Solar-powered DC valve controller with dual-valve drive, built-in field sensing, and a dual-radio long-range toolchain, IP67 field hardware for latching and non-latching solenoids up to 2 km from the gateway.

Dual DC valve control
Latching & non-latching solenoids
~6.5–24 VDC adjustable drive
Long-range field radio · up to 2 km
Bluetooth setup & diagnostics
GNSS positioning
Solar + LiFePO4 autonomy

A wireless valve radio that only opens and closes a solenoid leaves growers guessing. ArborValve DC is a complete field actuator: it drives DC and DC-latching valves, reads pressure, flow and switch feedback at the valve post, speaks SDI-12 and Modbus to local instruments, and runs from a solar-charged LiFePO4 energy system, without trenching control wire across the block. Dual high-efficiency wireless MCU architecture pairs a Sub-GHz LPWAN field radio with a Bluetooth commissioning/diagnostics link, plus GNSS for map-accurate placement. Register the node in A.I.M Hardware (Type UUID · Scan QR · Scan barcode), assign it under its gateway, locate it on the map, push OTA updates, and run schedules from A.I.M Web or Mobile, with IP67 protection built for real laterals, orchards, and seasonal moves.

ArborValve DC, put intelligence at the valve. No trench. No guesswork.

More than on/off

Dual-valve architecture for DC latching and non-latching solenoids, with adjustable drive in the ~6.5–24 VDC class, so one node can automate a zone pair without a second radio at the post.

Sense where you actuate

Connect pressure switches, pulse meters, voltage and 4–20 mA transmitters, plus SDI-12 and Modbus instruments, with controlled 5 / 12 / 24 V sensor power, so every open/close has measurable context.

Solar field autonomy

12–24 V solar input (10–20 W panel class), MPPT charge management, and 4S LiFePO4 6500 mAh storage keep remote laterals online where AC power never reaches.
