    Why is my Hunter X-CORE Controller continuously watering?

      mannstaceySep 2, 2025
      Your Hunter Controller might be continuously watering because too many start times have been programmed. Only one start time is necessary to activate a program. You can refer to the section on setting the program start times.

    What does “P ERR” mean on my Hunter Irrigation System display?
    • A
      Alexander PriceSep 1, 2025
      If the display on your Hunter Irrigation System shows “P ERR”, there may be a faulty pump relay or master valve wiring, an incompatible or defective relay or solenoid, or undersized wire to the pump relay or master valve. Check the wiring to the relay or master valve solenoid. Also, check the electrical specification for the pump relay, do not exceed the controller's electrical rating, and replace if defective. Consider replacing the wire with a larger gauge wire. Press any button to clear the “P ERR” from the display.

    Why won't my Hunter Irrigation System start automatically?
    • S
      Sonya CrawfordAug 31, 2025
      If your Hunter Irrigation System is not starting automatically at the set start time and is not in the System Off mode, it could be due to several reasons: the AM/PM setting for the time of day or start time is incorrect, the start time is disabled (set to Off), or the controller is not receiving AC power. To solve this, correct the AM/PM of the time of day or start time, check the Setting Program Start Times, and verify the AC power connections.

      Shane HernandezAug 30, 2025
      If your Hunter Irrigation System display reads “Of,f,” it means that either the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation or the sensor jumper has been removed. To resolve this, slide the rain sensor bypass switch to the BYPASS position or reinstall the jumper.

      If the display on your Hunter Irrigation System shows “ERR” followed by a number (1 to 8), it means there is a short in the valve wiring circuit, or a faulty solenoid on the station number indicated. Check the wire circuit or solenoid for the valve number indicated. Repair the short or replace the solenoid. Press any button to clear the “ERR” from the display.

    Why doesn't my Hunter X-CORE Controller start automatic irrigation at the set time?
    • B
      Bryce WagnerAug 28, 2025
      If automatic irrigation doesn't start at the set time and the Hunter Controller isn't in the System Off mode, it could be due to several reasons: * Incorrect AM/PM setting for the time of day. * Incorrect AM/PM setting for the start time. * The start time is disabled (set to Off). * The controller isn't receiving AC power. To resolve this, ensure the AM/PM settings for both the time of day and start time are correct. Also, check that the start time is enabled and verify the AC power connections.
