Watering Issues
Problem
Possible Cause
Programmed
Connected rain sensor may be activated. Set Rain Sensor to BYPASS to ignore the rain sensor. If
schedules do not
start.
Connected rain sensor may not be
operating properly.
If no rain sensor is connected, the
jumper wire connecting the two SENS
terminals on the terminal strip may be
missing or damaged.
Too much irrigation
Multiple Start Times in the same
program.
Multiple programs are running at the
same time.
Valve is malfunctioning.
Seasonal Adjust setting is too high.
Possible Solution
watering resumes, the sensor is operating properly and
no further correction is needed.
Let the rain sensor dry out, or disconnect it from the
controller terminal strip and replace it with a jumper wire
connecting the two SENS terminals, or set to Bypass.
Move dial position to Sensor Bypass and set to Bypass.
Turn off any additional Start Times that are causing
watering cycles to repeat (the Start Time OFF position
is between 11:45 and 12:00). See "Program Stacking" on
page 18 for more information.
Review programming to assure that the same Station is
not active in multiple Programs.
Check to see if the ALARM light on the controller is lit
solid, then repair or replace the valve if necessary.
Set Seasonal Adjust to 100%.
