Valve Control Unit
The VCU receives instructions from the transmitter and activates up to 4 DC latching solenoids
Pump Control Unit
Used with contact breaker to start or stop a pump
Tradisionally the pump was activated with a cable connection between the pump and the pivot centre. The problem is that the cost of cable has skryrocketed and the cable has only a limited life expectancy, or it could get damaged. Maintenance on the cable is also a problem because the cable is placed underground on the day of installation, and to replace the cable is a problem. Cable connections are also a risk with lightning.

When the water level changes the TLC sends a radio signal to the PCU to switch a pump on or of.
