Hunter XC Hybrid - Weather Sensor Setup and Operation; Connecting and Testing the Weather Sensor

8
CONNECTING A WEATHER SENSOR
A Hunter weather sensor or other micro-switch-type
weather sensors can be connected to the controller. The
purpose of this sensor is to stop automatic watering when
weather conditions dictate. WRC (Wireless Rain-Clik
®
) is not
compatible with XC Hybrid.
1. Remove the metal jumper plate that is attached across the
two SEN terminals inside the controller.
2. Connect one wire to one SEN terminal and the other wire to
the other SEN terminal.
When the weather sensor has
deactivated automatic watering,
the OFF, and
icon will appear on
the display.
Testing the Weather Sensor
The XC Hybrid provides simplied testing of
a rain sensor when the sensor is wired
into the sensor circuit. You can manually
test proper operation of the rain sensor by
running a MANUAL ALL STATIONS cycle
or by activating the system using the ONE
TOUCH MANUAL START (see page 15). During
the Manual cycle, pressing the test button on
the Mini-Clik

will interrupt watering.
Manually Bypassing the Weather Sensor
If the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation you can bypass it
by using the bypass switch on the front of the controller. Slide
the switch to the SENSOR BYPASS position to disable the rain
sensor from the system to allow for controller operation. You
can also bypass the weather sensor for manual operation by
using the MANUAL – ONE STATION function.
