Slundi thanks, I will give last chance to correct value of mid capacitor (I put 470uF/35 instead of original 220uF/50V and measured there >70V and capacitor was hot). If this does not help, looking for new controller, this does not make sense. PH.

The end

I gave up and today ordered different type/brand of controller.

Flashing 24V

After changing all the 3 Electolyts and and the power resistor it started working fine first but after a while (~1h) the 24V problem came back. I contacted technical support and they suggested to replace the controller because this problem msot probable hit the processor.

The Zener voltage is 9.32V



I gave up with this product and will go for another, more reliable one.

Irritrol Junior Max, 6 stations

Absolutely hate it. No clear instructions. Yes, I know I can download a manual. I do not wish to deal with sprinkler company.

Can someone recommend a reliable, no brainier?
Thanks!

Consider a Hunter XC-600 - it looks a bit toy-like (they want you to spend more for a bigger controller :)) but it performs all the essential functions
