Aqualink RS dead after JVA wire cut and ideas?

[Drusbyjoe]

I was trying to cleanup the wiring coming out of the bottom of my panel and I cut thru a JVA wiring when removing excess zip tie.. I then spliced the cord and looked up and noticed my whole system went dark. There is power to the power outlet on the side of box. This happened last night and I couldn't dig out my multimeter to start checking transformer, etc, but I did check the fuse and its good. Anything commonly blow when a JVA wire is cut?

Thanks

Joe,

JVAs use 24 VAC power.. I would suspect something in that circuit..

Thanks,

Jim R.

The Aqualink RS manual is here --> https://www.jandy.com/-/media/zodiac/global/downloads/0748-91071/6594.pdf?force=1

The 24V AC for the actuator also powers the main board. Check the 24V output on the transformer with your multimeter. Follow the power wiring to the main board. I think there may be a fuse on the main board.

Either you blew a fuse, the transformer, or the main board.

Let us know what you find.

So I ordered a “new” transformer from inyopools.com and installed it. Primary wires had 125 vac and secondary wires were dead, so bad transformer again. After waiting a week they sent me a terrible used looking one with the white and black wires already cut down. I used the old wires off my original transformer and hooked it up and it works. I replaced the jandy 2444 JVA and now my darn spillway doesn’t work on remote!
I have tried on 1 and on 2, and it only turns either way when I toggle the switch.

any ideas?
