Latching Solenoid Coils, 2 and 3 Way

Bermad’s S-392T and S-985 Series Latching Solenoids are designed for reliable, low-power valve actuation in remote and off-grid irrigation systems using battery or solar-operated controllers. Engineered with advanced materials and protected to IP68/NEMA 6D standards, these solenoids provide durable performance even in challenging conditions such as corrosive, muddy, or debris-laden water.

The S-392T-2W is a compact 2-way latching solenoid actuator that operates with a brief electrical impulse to open or close valves, reducing power consumption and preserving battery life. Its robust TRIO manual override (Open–Auto–Close) and compatibility with Bermad 2-way control circuits make it a versatile choice for on/off valve control in isolated systems.

The S-985-3W-BB combines a dry latching solenoid actuator with a high-capacity 3-way hydraulic pilot valve. This configuration enables rapid valve response while protecting internal components from water damage via a hermetically sealed membrane — ideal for irrigation systems using turbid or corrosive water.

FEATURES

• Latching Operation with Short Electric Pulse:
  – Extremely low power consumption
  – No continuous current required; ideal for battery or solar control
• IP68 / NEMA 6D Protection:
  – Weatherproof, corrosion-resistant housing
  – Long-term operation in wet and buried conditions
• Reliable in Harsh Water Conditions:
  – Tolerates sediment, mud, and saline environments
• Manual Override Handle (TRIO or Hydraulic Base):
  – Open, Close, and Auto positions for on-site testing and service
• Flexible Mounting:
  – Suitable for direct valve attachment or solenoid manifolds
• Bermad Build Quality:
  – Proven field reliability and minimal maintenance

MODEL SPECIFIC NOTES

• S-392T-2W (2-Way Latching Solenoid)
