Matching transformer to solenoid?
I’m going to try and keep this short and to the point. The facility I work at has an indoor and outdoor set of pools/spas. They were designed to be chemically automated with becsys3 controllers utilizing Stenner acid pumps and solenoids with offline chlorinators. They were severely neglected for years. I’m trying to get them back up and running. The indoor pools solenoid for its offline chlorinator was replaced a couple yeses back and works great, I managed to get my hands on 3 more identical ones. They’re GC valves model: S211YF24V5DG4. Their 24vac/50hz - 24vac/60hz solenoids. So I need a transformer to step down the 120vac outlet that’s wired to the becsys3 to the solenoid, so naturally I went to the indoor pool to see the transformer that was already working with this model solenoid and found it’s a codex: SEP-2450U-OE6 - input: 120VAC 60Hz 0.50A - output: 24VAC 50VA. Unfortunately, I can’t find that exact transformer so I tried just looking up the input/output specs but I get a huge range in price. The pool company who replaced the indoor pool solenoid will sell me a transformer and molded cable that work with it for $65 for the transformer and $101 for the molded cable but won’t tell me the model of anything because they don’t want me to source it elsewhere for cheaper. so basically I’m looking for advice on how to source a transformer and molded cable to use with the new solenoids. Idk what I’m missing, why I’m finding transformers with the same input/output but with drastic pricing differences or which one to get, same with the molded cable. if anyone has any knowledge and can help me out and point me in the right direction, or give me a specific example of a transformer and cable that would work I would be beyond grateful.
