programmable sensor override
The X-Core allows the user to program the controller so that the
sensor disables watering on only desired stations. For example,
patio gardens that have pots under overhangs and roofs may not
receive water when it rains and will continue to need to be watered
during periods of rain. To program sensor override:
1. Turn the dial to the RUn position.
2. Press and hold the button down while turning the
dial to stARt tIMes position.
3. Release the button. At this point, the display will
show the station number, ON, and the icon, will
be flashing.
4. Press the or button to enable or
disable the sensor for the station shown.
ON = Sensor enabled
(will suspend irrigation)
OFF = Sensor disabled (will allow watering)
5. Use the or buttons to scroll to the next
station that you would like to program the
sensor override.
NoTE: the controller default is for the sensor to
disable watering on all zones when rain occurs.
When the X-Core receives an input from the sensor to disable
watering, the display will indicate those stations that have been
programmed to override the sensor. A station that is running in
the sensor override mode will flash the and icons alternately.
Test program of all stations
The X-Core allows the user a simplified method for running a
test program. This feature will operate each station in numerical
sequence, from the lowest to the highest.
1. With the dial in the RUn position, press and hold the
button. The station number will be displayed and the time
will be flashing.
2. Use the or buttons to set the run time from 1 to 15
minutes. The run time needs to be entered only once.
3. After a 2 second pause, the test program will start.
Hunter Quick Check™ Diagnostics
This feature allows you to quickly diagnose wiring problems with
your controller. Instead of having to check each field wiring circuit
for potential problems, you can use the Hunter Quick Check circuit
test procedure. To initiate the Quick Check test procedure:
1. Press the
, , , and buttons simultaneously. In the
standby mode, the LCD will display all segments.
2. Press the button once to begin the Quick Check procedure.
Within seconds, the system searches all stations for detecting
any circuit problems. When a field wiring short is detected, an
ERR symbol preceded by the station number will momentarily
flash on the display. After the Quick Check completes running
the circuit diagnostic procedure, the controller returns to the
automatic watering mode.
