Rain Bird HP Series User Manual

Multiple
Start
Times:
Eight
(8)
start
times
per
program
allow
for
several
short
cycles
per
day
for
propagating
new
lawns
and
plantings
or
for
avoiding
puddling
and
run-off
on
tight,
clay-like
soils.
Trickle
charging
circuit:
The
HP
Series
is
designed
to
keep
the
rechargeable,
9-volt,
NiCad
battery
you
supply,
in
a
fully-charged
condition.
In
the
case
of
a
pro-
longed
power
outage,
the
battery
will
maintain
your
program
and
keep
the
correct
time
and
day
for
up
to
3
weeks.
The
battery,
however,
cannot
operate
the
system.
Default
Programs:
Program
“A”
and
“B”
each
have
a
default
start
time
if
the
power
outage
outlasts
the
battery
back-up.
When
power
resumes,
the
default
start
times
will
take
over
and
because
the
HP
does
not
forget
your
station
run
times
and
station
programs,
watering
will
take
place
once
a
day
until
you
repro-
gram.
Master
Vaive/Pump
Start
Circuit:
A
master
valve
or
24-volt,
AC
pump
start
relay
can
be
operated
by
HP
Series
units.
Diagnostic,
Automatic
Circuit
Breaker:
As
described
above,
the
LCD
will
con-
tinually
display
a
station
that
has
an
electrical
short
circuit.
The
automatic
circuit
breaker
will
bypass
the
problem
station
and
continue
to
water
all
other
operable
stations.
When
you
have
located
and
fixed
the
problem
with
the
field
wires
or
-valve,
the
HP
controller
will
restart
the
station
on
its
next
scheduled
cycle.
The
Rain
Bird
HP,
High
Performance
hybrid
controller
has
many
other
features
that
will
be
described
in
detail
throughout
this
manual.
