WEEK 10

ACTIVITY: RESOLVE THE ELECTRONIC VALVE PROBLEM.

Date: 7  / 12 / 2016

Objective:

Ø To identify the problem faced.

Ø To troubleshoot the electronic valve.

Content or Procedure:

After done our class, we meet Dr. Zulkhairi at his office. We also bought our electronic valve and battery 12 DC volt to make a troubleshoot. Dr. Zulkhairi check the electronic valve by open every piece of electronic valve to see the cause why it does not supply water. After done check every piece of the electronic valve, we troubleshoot it by connected with battery source 12 DC volt.

Figure 1: Check every piece of the Electronic Valve

Result and Analysis:

As a result, the electronic valve also not working. This problem must be solve immediately because this circuit is very important for our project. The possibility of this problem maybe electronic valve is damaged. So, we gave recommendations to Dr. Zulkhairi to using water pump to replace the electronic valve for supplying water from tank. Dr. Zulkhairi agree with our idea and proceed the work to troubleshoot the circuit.

Conclusion:

As a conclusion, the electronic valve is damage and do not function. So we replace it with Water pump for supply water from tank to the soil. Next week, we will make a troubleshoot to see the functional of the Automatic Plant Irrigation System circuit that we create with Dr. Zulkhairi.
