5.1 FAULTS
This feature is used to identify problems that may require
attention or repair to ensure proper operation of the system.
Use NEXT button to view the type of fault. If more than one
fault exists, you can use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll
through additional faults. Pressing the NEXT button while a fault
message is shown cause the display to show the CLEAR prompt.
Pressing the NEXT button again while the CLEAR prompt is
shown will erase the fault from the controller’s memory and
cause the FAULT icon to disappear. If you do not wish to clear a
fault, pressing the BACK, UP, or DOWN button will take you back
to the fault type menu. If the cause of the fault is not corrected,
the controller will continue to skip watering a zone with a fault
and will resume the flashing FAULT icon on the display once the
zone becomes active and the same fault is detected again.

MV1 SHORT
MV2 SHORT
OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT: A load placed
on any output that results in a current draw
exceeding the skip current setting will
result in a fault after the output is turned
on. The output will be skipped until the
next watering program attempts to use
it. If the MV/P output is shorted, all zones
using it will effectively be skipped. The
fault indication can be manually cleared or
will be automatically cleared if the short
condition goes away and the output turns on
successfully.

OUTPUT OPEN CIRCUIT: If a zone has a
current draw less than 0.03 Amps a zone
open fault is created, but operation continues
normally. The fault can be manually cleared
or will automatically clear if a load exceeding
0.03 Amps is placed on the output and the
output turns on successfully.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE: If the
battery in the Weather Sensor is dead,
the communication fault is set. The fault
indication can be manually cleared or will
clear automatically once communication is
received.
REMOTE
BATTERY
FAILURE
If the controller receives communication from
the Weather Sensor that indicates the remote
battery is low, the fault is set. The fault indi-
cation can be manually cleared or will clear
automatically if the Weather Sensor sends an-
other message that indicates a good battery.
The fault will also clear if no communication
is received for a full day (i.e. communication
failure). See Section 6.3 Replacing Weather
Sensor Battery.
5.2 OPEN CIRCUIT FAULT
This is a user selectable feature that sends a fault message for
zones that detect no electrical load. From the ADVANCED MENU
dial position press the UP button until the “OPEN FLT” menu is
displayed. Press the NEXT button to enter the menu and the UP
or DOWN buttons to select on or off for the alert.
