Operation
All relays and water valves are switched by applying ground to the corresponding output of the control unit. Due to the design of the inner circuitry of the control unit, it is not possible to differentiate between a short to negative and a break. The diagnostic procedure for the control unit only covers the control circuit of the relays.
