      If the display is blank, it indicates a power issue. First, check the circuit breaker panel. Then, inspect the wiring connections and the transformer. Finally, check the controller terminal board fuse.

    Why is the current time wrong and flashing on my Irritrol Control Unit?

      William BryantAug 17, 2025
      A flashing current time indicates that a power outage occurred, and the controller either has no battery or a weak battery. Replace the battery and reprogram the controller to resolve this.

    What to do if the program won’t display on my Irritrol RD-900 Control Unit?

      Charles KellyAug 29, 2025
      If the program won’t display, ensure the Function Switch is in the RUN or MANUAL setting. If it still doesn't display, the controller might be in a watering cycle. Change the program with the Function Switch in Set Programs.

    Why is the display flashing on my Irritrol RD-900 Control Unit?

      Devin MckeeSep 1, 2025
      A flashing display indicates an excessive load, possibly due to a shorted solenoid or field wiring. Check the maximum ratings and inspect the solenoids and wiring for any issues.

    What to do if my Irritrol Control Unit valve won’t turn off (function switch off)?
    • E
      Eric MartinSep 5, 2025
      If a valve won’t turn off even with the function switch off, it's likely due to a mechanical override, meaning the Manual bleed is on. Turn the solenoid on top of the valve fully clockwise to resolve this.

      Alexander GilesSep 8, 2025
      If the display is incorrect after a power outage or being unplugged, the battery is likely weak or missing. Remove AC power and the battery for 1 minute. Replace the battery, restore power, and reprogram the controller.
