If your Rain Bird Controller's automatic irrigation isn't starting, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if you have set a start time, run time, and watering days. If a sensor wire loop is cut and no rain sensor is installed, reconnect the sensor wires or bypass the sensor operation. Also, make sure the rain delay feature is not activated; if it is, de-activate it.
How to fix a Rain Bird WPX Controller with no display?
If your Rain Bird Controller display is blank, it might be in sleep/power save mode. Try pressing any key to wake it up. If that doesn't work, the batteries might be dead, so try replacing them.
What to do if Rain Bird Controller starts, but no watering occurs?
If your Rain Bird Controller starts automatically but no watering happens, there might be a few issues. Ensure the main water supply is turned on to provide water pressure. Check the wiring for any open or short circuits. The solenoid could be faulty and need replacement. Also, verify that you are using a compatible solenoid; it should be a 9V-latching solenoid (Rain Bird K80920) or another compatible DC latching solenoid.
Why is my Rain Bird WPX watering more than expected?
If your Rain Bird Controller is watering more than expected, it could be due to excessive start times, run times, or watering days. Modify these settings as desired. Also, check the seasonal adjust value and reduce it if needed.
