Toro DCL Dc Latching Solenoid 9V Irrigation Replacement

Product Description

The TORO DCL is a DC latching solenoid designed for use with battery-operated irrigation controllers and valve systems. Latching solenoids differ from standard AC solenoids in that they use a brief pulse of DC current to open and hold the valve, then a reverse pulse to close it, drawing minimal power between cycles. This design makes the DCL well suited for remote or field installations where AC power is unavailable. Operating at 9 volts DC, the DCL is installed by licensed irrigators and landscape irrigation technicians as a field-replaceable component on compatible valve bodies.

The DCL is used in residential and commercial irrigation systems where battery-powered or solar-assisted controllers drive zone valves. Typical applications include golf course rough areas, agricultural drip zones, parks, and remote landscape beds where running AC power to a controller is impractical. The solenoid mounts directly onto a compatible valve body and interfaces with a DC pulse-output controller. No continuous power draw occurs between actuations, extending battery life in off-grid installations.

Key Features

• DC latching operation requires only a brief pulse to open or close, minimizing battery drain
• 9 volts DC operating voltage compatible with standard battery-powered irrigation controllers
• Field-replaceable design allows solenoid swap without replacing the full valve assembly
• Suited for remote installations where AC power is not available
• Reverse-pulse closure eliminates the need for continuous energization to hold the valve open

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement DC latching solenoid for compatible battery-operated irrigation valve bodies requiring a 9 volt DC latching actuator.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified irrigation technician familiar with DC latching solenoid systems. Before servicing, shut off the irrigation zone and disconnect the controller or battery pack to eliminate any pulse signal to the solenoid. Confirm that the replacement solenoid polarity and connector type match the existing wiring harness before finalizing the installation. Follow local irrigation and low-voltage wiring codes as applicable.
