What Size Field Wiring Conduit Should I Use?
Locate the size conduit across the top and the wire size along the side. Where
the two intersect on the table tells you approximately how many wires will fill
the conduit. Example: 49 wires of 18 AWG will fit in 1½" conduit.
Clearing Controller’s Memory / Resetting Controller
If you feel that you have misprogrammed the controller, there is a
process that will reset the memory to factory defaults and erase all
programs and data that have been entered into the controller.
1. Turn the dial to the RUN position.
2. Remove battery.
3. Hold down the
button, the button, and the button simultaneously.
4. While holding down the three buttons, press and release the reset
button on the back of the front panel, then release the three buttons.
Hold all buttons and reset until display flashes 12:00. All the memory
has been cleared and the controller may be reprogrammed.
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
NOTE: The Master Valve/Pump Start circuit will operate
during the first 20 seconds of any programmed delay to
aid in the closing of the valve and to avoid unnecessary
cycling of the pump. It is recommended that a pressure
relief valve be installed on the system should this 20
second delay be too long for a particular system.
Consult your pump contractor or supplier for details.
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
, ,
, buttons. 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.
Test Program
The ICC allows the user a simplified method for running a test program.
This feature operates each station in numerical sequence, from the
lowest to the highest. You can start with any station. This is a great
feature to check the operation of your irrigation system.
To initiate the test program:
1. Press and hold the button. The station number will be flashing.
2. Press the
or button to scroll to the station you would like the test
program to start with. Use the or button to set the run time up to
15 minutes. The run time needs to be entered only once.
3. After a 2 second pause, the test program will begin.
