Why doesn't my Hunter Pro-C Controller have a start time for each station?
If the Hunter Controller doesn't have a start time for each station, it's likely due to a programming error or the dial being in the incorrect position. Ensure the dial is in the correct position. You can easily check the total number of stations by placing the dial in the SET STATION RUN TIMES position and pressing the back arrow.
Why doesn't my Hunter Pro-C rain sensor shut off the system?
If your rain sensor will not shut off the system, it may be due to an incompatible rain sensor or the jumper was not removed when the sensor was installed. Ensure the sensor is a micro-switch type such as Mini-Clik[®]. Check that the jumper has been removed from the SEN terminals. Confirm proper operation (see “Testing the Weather Sensor” on page 15).
Why won't my valve turn on with my Hunter Pro-C Controller?
If your valve will not turn on with Hunter Controller, it may be due to a short in the wiring connections or a bad solenoid. * Check the field wiring. * Replace the solenoid.
What does “SENSOR OFF” mean on my Hunter Pro-C Controller display and how to fix it?
If your Hunter Controller display reads “SENSOR OFF,” it means the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation or the sensor jumper is not installed. To resolve this, slide the Rain Sensor switch on the front panel to the BYPASS position to bypass the rain sensor circuit, or install the sensor jumper.
What does “SP ERR” mean on my Hunter Controller display?
If your Hunter Controller display reads “SP ERR,” it indicates that electrical noise is entering the system. Check the SmartPort[®] wiring harness, ensuring the red wire is attached to the AC1 terminal, the white wire to the AC2 terminal, and the blue wire to the REM terminal. If the wires were extended, they will need to be replaced with shielded cable. Contact your local distributor for information on shielded cable.
Why does my Hunter Pro-C Controller keep repeating or continuously watering?
If your Hunter Controller is repeating itself or continuously watering, even when it should not be on, it's likely due to too many start times being programmed. Only one start time per active program is required.
Why does my Hunter Pro-C Controller display read “NO AC”?
If your Hunter Controller display reads “NO AC,” it indicates that there is no AC power present, meaning the controller is not receiving power. Check to see if the transformer is properly installed.
What to do if my Hunter Controller display reads a station number and ERR?
If your Hunter Controller display shows a station number followed by “ERR” (e.g., “2 ERR”), there is a fault in the station solenoid or the station wiring. Check the station wire for continuity, replace or repair any shorted wire, and ensure all wire connections are good and watertight.
What to do if the display reads “P ERR” on my Hunter Controller?
If the display on your Hunter Controller reads “P ERR,” it means there's a fault in the pump start, master valve, or the wiring for the pump start/master valve. Check the master valve or pump start wire for continuity. Replace or repair the shorted wire and ensure all wire connections are good and watertight.
What to do if my Hunter Pro-C display reads “P ERR”?
If your Hunter Controller display shows “P ERR”, it indicates a fault in the wire to the pump start or master valve. Check the master valve or pump start wire for continuity and replace or repair any shorted wires. Also, ensure that all wire connections are secure and watertight.
