a remote, the controller will acknowledge the stations that have been
programmed to respond to a sensor and those stations will not water and
be in Suspend Mode.
The same rules apply for activating a station or program manually by
turning the dial to the manual position. A manual single station will override
an active sensor; however, a manual program will adhere to the rules of
shutting down irrigation if the station within the program is set to respond
to the sensor.
Manual Operation
This dial position enables immediate operation of either a single station
or an automatic program. It also is used to Learn Expected Flow, which
is a key element in ow monitoring. You may run more than one manual
program or station at the same time, because the I-Core has the ability to
run up to ve stations or events at once. To initiate multiple events, you
will need to turn the dial from MANUAL OPERATION to RUN and then
return to the MANUAL OPERATION dial position to begin the initiation
of another event. Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to navigate through the manual
feature selections. When the ► cursor is pointing to the selection you want,
simply press the + button to select the feature.
Manual Program
This will allow an entire program to be run immediately to be started at any
station. It is important to know that if a particular station is selected as the
starting point it will run from that that point, to the end. The manual will not
go back and run the stations that were initially skipped in the program.
1. Press the PRG button to select the program you would like to run.
2. Turn the dial to RUN to start the program at the beginning. Each
station will run for its automatic programmed time (including cycle
and soak) settings, and the stations with no run time in the selected
program will be skipped. You may increase the run time for the rst
station in the manual sequence, however, each station following will
run for its automatic program time.
3. To start later in the program at a higher numbered station, use the ◄
or ► buttons to select the station you want the manual to start on.
4. Turn the dial to RUN and the manual program will begin from the
desired station. The manual will continue until the last station in the
Program and then stop.
5. After the manual program begins, you may also use the ► button to
scroll to a particular station or advance to a station more quickly. It is
important to know that once you advance to the next station by using
the ► button you will not be able to return to the previous station.
Manual Station
Manual Station allows any individual station to be started immediately.
1. Use the ◄ or ► buttons to select a particular station.
2. Use the + button to increase the ashing run time on the screen until
the desired run time is achieved. You can assign a run time from 1
minute to 12 hours.
3. Turn the dial to RUN, and the station will begin irrigating.
Up to ve Hunter valves can be operated simultaneously.
Learn Expected Flow
This feature is used to learn station ows and is the nal element that needs
to be programmed in the controller in order for ow monitoring to occur.
You may learn expected ows by particular stations, or you may learn all
the stations at once. It is important that the following programming steps
must be completed before you are able to learn ow: (1) You must select
a ow sensor in the Sensor Conguration screen in Advanced Features; (2)
You must program the station ow to be monitored, which is found in the
Flow Operation screen in Advanced Features; and (3) The station must have
a programmed run time in the SET STATION RUN TIMES dial position.
A complete Flow Monitoring procedure will be discussed in the Flow
Monitoring section in the manual (pg. 29).
If a sensor is not selected in the Sensor Conguration screen, a station’s ow
is not set to be monitored or stations do not have programmed run times,
the controller will not allow you to learn expected ow. If the user has not
selected a ow sensor in the Sensor Conguration screen, the controller will
display No Flow Sensor while in the Learn Expected Flow screen.
