Clearing the Controller's Memory/Resetting the Controller:

If you feel you have misprogrammed the controller, there is a process that will reset the memory to the
factory defaults and erase all programs and data that have been entered into the controller.

Press and hold down the button.

Press and release the reset button in the lower wiring compartment.

Wait 2 seconds and release the button. The display should now show 12:00 AM. All the memory
has been cleared and the controller may now be reprogrammed.

Easy Retrieve™ Program Memory:

The XC is capable of saving the preferred watering program into memory for retrieval at a later time.
This feature allows for a quick way of resetting the controller to the original programmed watering
schedule.

To save the program into the memory:

With the dial in the RUN position, press and hold the and buttons for 5 seconds. The display
will scroll three segments from left to right across the display indicating the program is being saved into
memory.

Release the and buttons.

To retrieve a program that was previously saved into memory:

To initiate the Hunter Quick Check test procedure:

Press the , , and buttons simultaneously. In the standby mode, the LCD will display all
segments (helpful when troubleshooting display problems).

Press the button to begin the Quick Check test procedure. The system will search all stations to
detect a high current path through the station terminals. When a field wiring short is detected, an ERR
symbol preceded by the station number will momentarily flash on the controller LCD display. After the

Release the , , and buttons. The LCD display will show 12.00am

Test Program:

The ICC allows the user a simplified method for running a test program. This feature operates each
station in numerical sequence, from the lowest to the highest. You can start with any station. This is a
great feature to check the operation of your irrigation system.

To initiate the test program:

Press and hold the button. The station number will be flashing.

Press the or button to scroll to the station you would like the test program to start with. Use

the or button to set the run time up to 15 minutes. The run time needs to be entered only once.

After a 2 second pause, the test program will begin.

Hunter Quick Check™:

Irrigation professionals are continuously looking for ways to more efficiently and effectively diagnose
programs in the field. Instead of having to physically check each field wiring circuit for potential
problems, the user can run the Hunter Quick Check™ circuit test procedure. This circuit diagnostic
procedure is very beneficial because of its ability to aid in quickly identifying “shorts” commonly caused
by faulty solenoids or when a bare common wire touches a bare station control wire.
To initiate the Hunter Quick Check™ test procedure; Press the , , , buttons. In the
standby mode, the LCD will display all segments (helpful when troubleshooting display problems). Press

the button to begin the Quick Check™ test procedure. Within seconds, the system searches all
stations in an effort to detect a high current path through the station terminals. When a field wiring
short is detected, an ERR symbol preceded by the station number will momentarily flash on the
controller LCD display. After the Hunter Quick Check™ completes running this circuit diagnostic
procedure, the controller returns to the automatic watering mode.

run times too long or too short, make
the appropriate adjustment to the
program in the controller.
CALIBRATION/ SET UP

After Solar Sync has been installed and programmed, it is recommended to allow the system to run for a
few days at the initial setting. Because of the variety in site conditions (including sensor location,
amount of direct sunlight available to the sensor, reflective heat from surrounding structures, etc), the
initial setting may require adjustment in order to arrive at the desired performance. The calibration of
the Solar Sync to a particular site can easily be accomplished by adjusting the Region and/or Water
Adjustment settings.

Install Solar Sync sensor and program the module (as described in pages 10 –12).
Allow system to operate at initial settings for a minimum of 3 days.
Observe the Seasonal Adjust on the controller. If the Seasonal Adjust amount appears to be lower or
higher than expected for that time of year, the Solar Sync settings need to be adjusted.

Seasonal Adjust too low – Make sure controller dial is in the “Run” position. Increase the value on the
Water Adjustment scale (10 is max). Once the setting is changed, the controller will immediately be
updated with the new Seasonal Adjust %. Increase the Water Adjustment setting until the desired
Seasonal Adjust % is shown. If you max out the Water Adjustment scale at 10 and still require more
Seasonal Adjust, move down to the next lower Region (from Region
4 to 3, for example).
Seasonal Adjust too high – Make sure controller dial is in the “Run” position. Decrease the value on the
Water Adjustment scale (default setting is 5). Once the setting is changed, the controller will
immediately be updated with the new Seasonal Adjust %. Decrease the Water Adjustment setting until
the desired Seasonal Adjust % is shown. If you minimize the Water Adjustment scale down to 1 and still
require a reduction in Seasonal Adjust, move up the next Region (from Region 2 to 3, for example).
Station Run Times – It is important to understand that Solar Sync provides a global seasonal adjustment
to the controller. This means that all station run times will be modified by the seasonal adjust
percentage shown. When programming the controller, the run times should be entered that represent
peak season watering schedules. If the Solar Sync is adjusting to the appropriate seasonal adjust value
but the run time for a particular station appears to be too long/short, adjust the station run time in the
controller program.
