Internal Auto-Resetting Electronic
Circuit Breaker
The sprinkler controller is equipped with an internal
electronic self-resetting circuit breaker.
Possible causes of a circuit breaker tripping:
1. If lightning strikes nearby.
2. When the power supply has an electric spike.
3. If a station has a wiring short.
Whenever one of these conditions occurs, the electronic
circuit breaker may trip, causing the station output from
the sprinkler controller to be halted momentarily. The
batteries will continue to activate the LCD. After a few
moments, the sprinkler controller will automatically retest
the circuit to see if the condition has stopped. If so, the
circuit breaker will reset itself.
