Testing the Weather sensor
The X-Core provides simplified testing of a rain sensor when the
sensor is wired into the sensor circuit. You can manually test proper
operation of the rain sensor by running a MAnUAL CyCLe or by
activating the system using the One touch MAnUAL stARt (see
page 22). During the Manual cycle, pressing the test button on the
Mini-Clik ® will interrupt watering.
manually bypassing the Weather sensor
If the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation,
you can bypass it by using the bypass
switch on the front of the controller. Slide
the switch to the sensOR ByPAss position
to disable the rain sensor from the system
to allow for controller operation. You can
also bypass the weather sensor for manual
operation by using the MAnUAL – One stAtIOn function.
the Bypass switch does not affect the seasonal Adjust update
when using solar sync sensor.
