Manual “Test” Cycle
The HRC 100 C is capable of running a “Manual Test Cycle”
which will run all stations for as little time as 1 minute or
as much as 240 minutes . This feature is very useful upon
completion of system installation or service . To access this
function, follow these instructions .
• Turn the Dial to “Run” .
• Press the “Manual/Enter portion of the key pad and
then press the “-” key located just above the words
“TEST CYCLE” on the front lower right hand side of the
controller (show an image) . Note- if you do not press
the “-” button prior to 5 seconds the manual test start
up process will have to be repeated to activate the
function .
• When the function is done correctly the lcd screen will
indicate ”MANUAL”, “STATION A” (for all stations), and
the default cycle duration of each station (2minutes) . To
increase or decrease test cycle station duration time,
use the “+” button or to decrease use the “-” button .
• Upon arrival at desired test cycle time, press “ENTER” .
To abort test, press “CLEAR” . When the test cycle is
complete the HRC 100 C will automatically return to
your pre-set station durations and begin watering upon
next scheduled watering cycle .

Rain Sensor Bypass
This HRC 100 C is equipped with a sensor override “on/
off” switch . This switch is for use during maintenance and
repairs, so the sprinkler controller can be operated even if
the rain sensor is in active mode .
Important: If the rain sensor switch is in the “on” position
and no sensor is connected, the sprinkler controller will not
operate . To resume the HRC 100 C operation place the switch
in the off position
Pump Start & Master Valve
This sprinkler controller allows a master valve or pump start
relay to operate whenever a station is on .
Note: If you are activating a pump from this controller, you must
purchase a Pump Start Relay. From the pump start relay (or
master valve); connect one wire to the “Pump” terminal and the
other wire to the “Common” terminal.
Replacing the Battery
Controller requires a CR2032 Lithium battery
• The battery will maintain your program in case of an AC
