Home made Auto Draw off Auberins valve wiring

[CharlieVT]

I have a home brew auto draw off I made using an Auberins SYL-2342 PID controller from ideas posted years ago on this site.

I have been using standard solenoid valves which have the problems reported by others here, i.e. unreliable opening and closing being sensitive to gumming up or obstructions. After a few years of getting by with periodic cleaning and maintenence of the solenoid valves, they are no longer working.

I am going to switch my valves to a 3 wire low voltage (12-24vdc) power open/power closed ball valves.
This is what I have in mind: https://www.ebay.com/itm/302375719108?ViewItem=&item=302375719108&ppid=PPX000608&cnac=US&rsta=en_US(en_US)&cust=7YC192919K320602B&unptid=6750dd18-1a58-11e8-a43b-d4856454d6a8&t=&cal=ce3cb686c8363&calc=ce3cb686c8363&calf=ce3cb686c8363&unp_tpcid=email-receipt-auction-payment&page=main:email&pgrp=main:email&e=op&mchn=em&s=ci&mail=sys

Has any done this and posted their wiring of a 3 wire valve to the Auberins SYL-2342? (I've searched but didn't find any.)
Or is there someone who has done it and is willing to do a quick hand draw schematic of their wiring between the SYL-2342 and the valve?

I'm just trying to save a little time by copying someone's prior work. If not, I'll get it figured out and post it here.

Basically, I'm trying to figure if I'll need a relay to get the separate opening and closing voltages required by the valve, or if I can get that directly from terminals 6, 7, and 8 of the SYL-2342. (The manual isn't really clear to me what is happening between terminal 6 and 7 of the controller, so I'm going to have to experiment.)

Thanks in advance for any replies.

So I am in the same boat. I have the same pid controller and am in need of a valve. Really interested to see what people have used for valves with this specific controller.

You will need a 12 VDC supply if you're not already using 12 VDC (mine is 110 AC). Connect the valve black wire to the negative. Connect the red wire directly to positive (or better yet put in an in line fuse). Connect the green wire to the Normally open contact on your auber controller (if for some reason the operation is backwards, use normally closed). Connect 12 VDC positive to the auber common contact.
The description for electrical connection is indicated in the item description of your valve link. These motor operated valves work fantastic for drawoffs, and are way more forgiving than solenoid operated valves when it comes to gunk.

Thanks again for the replies.
I apologize for having asked, once I had the valve in hand I realized wiring was very straight forward.
(the relay/internal switching in the valve makes wiring quite easy).

DC (+) and (-) to red and black wires of the new valve respectively, the the wire that was originally the activation wire to the old solenoid valve to the new valve green wire.
