Is there a minimum distance the pump start relay must be from the irrigation controller?
While most of the time the distance between the controller and pump start relay doesn’t create any problems, every once in awhile the wires on the 24V coil can allow electromagnetic noise to travel back to the controller. This noise is made when the contacts on the pump start relay make and break the connection. Use a minimum distance of 15 feet of separation between the controller and the relay, to help dampen any electromagnetic noise.
