If your HYDRO-RAIN Controller shows a 'Fault' message and a zone number is flashing, it indicates a short. You should inspect the wiring for shorts and also check the solenoid for shorts.
Why are all valves not turning on with my HYDRO-RAIN Controller?
If all valves are not turning on with your HYDRO-RAIN Controller, it might be due to a defective or disconnected transformer. Check the transformer connection. Incorrect programming can also cause this issue, so review the programming.
Why are stations turning on when they are not supposed to with my HYDRO-RAIN HRC-400 Controller?
If your HYDRO-RAIN Controller has stations turning on when they shouldn't, it might be due to high water pressure. Reduce the water pressure. Alternatively, you may have programmed more than one start time, so eliminate overlapping start times. Also, ensure that the AM/PM setting is correct.
How to fix one or more valves that do not turn on with my HYDRO-RAIN Controller?
If one or more valves don't turn on with your HYDRO-RAIN Controller, check the solenoid connection. Inspect the wires for any damage. Ensure the flow control stem isn't screwed down, shutting the valve off; if it is, adjust it. Also, review the programming for any errors.
What to do if one station is stuck on and will not shut off on my HYDRO-RAIN HRC-400?
If a station on your HYDRO-RAIN Controller is stuck on and won't shut off, the valve may be faulty and needs replacement. Alternatively, particles of dirt or debris might be stuck in the valve, so try cleaning it. The valve diaphragm could also be faulty, requiring replacement.
Why do valves continue to turn on and off when they are not programmed on my HYDRO-RAIN Controller?
If the valves on your HYDRO-RAIN Controller continue to turn on and off when they are not programmed, it might be because more than one start time is programmed with overlapping schedules; eliminate these overlapping start times. Excessive pressure can also cause this, so reduce the water pressure.
