The Valve Driver Cartridge VDC05

Valve Driver Cartridge

The WeedSeeker® Valve Driver Cartridge VDC05 is used to drive an external solenoid valve, supplied by the user, in applications that exceed the specifications of the Valve Cartridge (VC01). The VDC05 uses the same cartridge body as the Valve Cartridge, except the internal circuit board and solenoid valve have been replaced with a valve driver circuit board with a higher amperage rating.

The VDC05 is inserted in the valve cartridge slot of a Sensor and secured with two stainless steel captive screws. When the sensor detects a plant or weed, the VDC05 will output an electronic signal. This signal is used to open an external valve and activate an external system, such as a spray nozzle or a bank of spray nozzles. The red LED will turn on to indicate that the cartridge is energized.

A sensor with a VDC05 has the ability to activate:

  • A high pressure sprayer when a tree or vine is detected.
  • A foliar nutrient or fungicide spray system when a tree or vine is detected.
  • A fertilizer ground application system when a tree or vine is detected.
  • Nozzles capable of spraying wettable powders.
  • An application of beneficial insects to plant.
