ConneCTIng a WeaTHer sensor

A Hunter weather sensor or other micro-switch type weather

sensors can be connected to the XC. The purpose of this

XCHybrid.

the two SEN terminals inside the controller.

2. Connect one wire to one SEN terminal and the other wire

to the other SEN terminal.

deactivated automatic watering, the

OFF, and

icon will appear on the

display.

Testing the Weather Sensor

The XC 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 all sTaTIons cycle or by

activating the system using the one TouCH

manual sTarT (see page 11). 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.
