Programming the Controller (Continued)

Manually Run All Stations

  1. Turn dial to MANUAL-ALL STATIONS.
  2. You can select program A, B, or C by pressing the button.
  3. Press the button until desired starting station is displayed.
  4. Station run time will flash in the display. Use the or buttons to select the amount of run time for the station to water.
  5. Use the button to move to the next station.
  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to customize each station.
  7. Press the button until you reach the station that you would like watering to begin.
  8. Return dial to RUN (custom program will water, then controller will return to automatic mode with no change in the previously set program).

NOTE: The station that is on the display when you turn the dial to RUN will be the first station to run. The controller will then proceed to water in sequential order only. It will not water previous stations. Example: If you turn the dial to RUN with the display reading station 3. The controller will water stations 3 to 9 in the program, but not return to stations 1 and 2.

One Touch Manual Start and Advance

You can also activate all stations to water without using the dial.

  1. Hold down the button for 2 seconds.
  2. This feature automatically defaults to program A. You can select program B or C by pressing the program.

This feature is great for a quick cycle when extra watering is needed or if you would like to scroll through the stations to inspect your system.

Hunter Quick Check™

Irrigation professionals are continuously looking for ways to more efficiently and effectively diagnose programs in the field. Instead of having to physically check each field wiring circuit for potential problems, the user can run the Hunter Quick Check™ circuit test procedure. This circuit diagnostic procedure is very beneficial because of its ability to aid in quickly identifying "shorts" commonly caused by faulty solenoids or when a bare common wire touches a bare station control wire.

To initiate the Hunter Quick Check test procedure; Press the , , , and buttons simultaneously. In the standby mode, the LCD will display all segments (helpful when troubleshooting display problems). Press the button to begin the Quick Check test procedure. Within seconds, the system searches all stations in an effort to detect a high current path through the station terminals. When a field wiring short is detected, an ERR symbol preceded by the station number will momentarily flash on the controller LCD display. After the Hunter Quick Check completes running this circuit diagnostic procedure, the controller returns to the automatic watering mode.

Clearing the Controller's Memory/Resetting the Controller

If you feel you have incorrectly programmed the controller, there is a reset process that will reset the memory to factory defaults and erase all programs and data that has been entered into the controller. The reset is also helpful in clearing possible glitches that may occur from electrical power surges.

Start by removing the battery and turning the dial to the RUN position.

  1. Press and hold down the , , and buttons.
  2. Press and release the reset button in the lower wiring compartment.
  3. Release the , , and buttons. The display should now show 12:00AM. All the memory has been cleared and the controller may now be reprogrammed.
