Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | Apparently your have your normally closed receiver wired in series with the regular switch. That way normally, you would want the circuit to be completed by the remote so the regular switch can behave normally.
Another approach for checking tips with ball valves that I've seen is to wire in an additional switch on the sprayer in a convenient location. The switch is a Single Pole Double throw type. This is the kind of switch that has 3 terminals. With the handle one way, the center is connected to one outer terminal. With the handle the other way, the center terminal is connected to the other terminal. You cut the trigger wire to the ball valve and attach the cut wire on the ball valve end to the center terminal of the switch. You connect the other cut end to one of the outer terminals. You splice on to the constant hot wire going to the ball valve and connect it to the other terminal of the switch.
Then with the switch flipped one way, the ball valve is triggered as usual from the tractor. With the switch flipped the other way, the ball valve gets triggered from the hot wire at the switch and opens. This means the operator can run the pump and leave the section switch off in the tractor and walk back to the new switch and use it to temporarily turn a section ON.
Some prefer this hard wired approach since they don't need to worry about changing batteries or losing the remote.
