Possible cause:

A wire connection is faulty.

Solution:

If you are using King wire connectors, gently pull on the wires to 
make sure they are secure. If the wires are loose, cut the wires. Strip 
0.5 in. (1.25 cm.) of the insulation off the wires. Twist the wires, then 

push the wires into a new King connector and twist the connector 
around the wires. Gently pull on the wires to make sure they are se
cure.

If you are using 3M DBM wire connectors, make sure the wires have
not been stripped. Unlike other wire connectors on the market,
DBMs are designed to cut through the insulation to make a water-
resistant coupling without removing the insulation. Push the wires all
the way into the wire connector. Be sure to crimp the black cap all
the way down (gel should ooze out of the top) to ensure a water re-
sistant connection. Gently pull on the wires to make sure they are
secure. If the insulation has been stripped, re-cut the wires and re-
peat the steps above.

Possible cause:

The UNIK Rain Shut-off Device is wet.

Solution:

Flip the UNIK Rain Shut-off Device switch to off. If you have an old
style Control Module, cut the UNIK Rain Shut-off Device wires. Con-
nect the black wires from the Control Module to the black field wires.
Carry out a manual stop and then repeat the manual start.

Problem:

Faulty transmission

Possible cause:

The optical connector on the Control Module and/or the Field Trans
mitter is dirty.

Solution:

Clean the connector(s).

Possible cause:

The battery is weak.

Solution:

Replace the battery.

Possible cause:

The microprocessor did not reset properly.

Solution:

Remove the battery. Short the UNIK Field Transmitter battery clip
(not the battery) contacts together with a paper clip or other piece of
metal for 30 seconds. Reinstall a fresh battery.
