The Armada PRO48 is a handheld, multi-function tester designed for irrigation professionals who need a fast, reliable way to diagnose controllers, wiring and solenoid valves in the field. Its LED-guided workflow walks a user step-by-step through controller checks, wiring tests and solenoid activation so problems are identified quickly and without guesswork.

  • Solenoid activation & chatter: Momentary and hold activation for standard and DC-latching solenoids; useful for valve actuation and locating buried valves with chatter mode.
  • Controller & wiring checks: LED-guided check for 24VAC controller output, quick open/short wiring diagnostics and clear pass/fail indicators.
  • Tone generation for wire tracing: Built-in 1 kHz tone generator for use with a compatible tone probe (Pro210F tone probe included in the PRO48K kit or sold separately) to trace and identify wires.
  • Portable power: Runs on two 9V alkaline batteries (NEDA1604 / 6LR61), with typical continuous battery life around three hours; easy battery replacement in the field.
  • Rugged, compact design: Durable yellow case with top toggle switch, alligator clip leads and clear front LEDs; compact size for a contractor tool.

Key specifications: peak DC output ~36V, voltage protection up to 28VAC, physical size approximately 160 mm (6.0") × 80 mm (3.0") × 35 mm (1.5"). Tone loop detection ranges vary by wire gauge (see user guide). The PRO48 is also offered as the PRO48K kit bundled with the Pro210F tone probe and a soft carrying case for on-site wire tracing and storage.

Engineered for irrigation contractors, landscapers and maintenance teams, the PRO48 simplifies troubleshooting so you spend less time diagnosing and more time repairing. See the manufacturer user guide for full safety, warranty and specification details.

The PRO48 uses two 9V alkaline batteries (NEDA1604 / 6LR61). Typical continuous runtime is about three hours with fresh batteries.
Can the PRO48 trace wires on its own?
The PRO48 generates a 1 kHz tracing tone, but a compatible tone probe (Pro210F) is needed to locate wires; the PRO48K kit includes the probe.
Will the PRO48 activate DC-latching solenoids?
Yes. The PRO48 supports activation and hold functions for both standard and DC-latching solenoids, and offers a chatter mode to help locate buried valves.
