Controller Just Installed, Activated and Still Beeping
1.
Turn the Function selector to RUN.
Check the Date and Time settings. Be sure they are correct.
2.
Turn the Function Selector to Run and hold down the COPY
button.
You will see Phase X(L) where X is one of the four phases and
the L signifies that the phase is locked. “Beep on message” is
automatically turned on when the installer locked on a phase to
activate. The installer did not turn off beep after activation. The
beeper will automatically turn off at midnight or go to HELP,
turn to “Beep on Message?” and set to NO.
What Do the Beeps Mean
1.
Two Beeps:
a good message has been received for your
controller.
2.
Four Beeps:
a good message has been received but it is for
another controller.
3.
Six Beeps:
a bad message was received and it will be ignored.
4.
Alternating long and short beeps:
The controller’s fuse has
blown and needs to be replaced. Replace the fuse. Fuses are
available from HydroPoint Data Systems distributors.
5.
One beep every 30 seconds:
Communications to the controller
have not occurred for over 10 days.

The Controller Programs Correctly But There is No
Station Output From the Controller
1.
Turn the Function Selector to RUN.
Check the Date and Time settings. Be sure they are correct. If the
date is wrong, controller will not be in sync with the actual date
which may cause valves to not operate on correct days. If the
time is wrong, controller will not be in sync with the actual time,
so valves will not operate at the correct time.
2.
Keep the Function Selector at RUN.
If RAIN SWITCH displays, your rain sensor is active and is
blocking operation of the controller. If no rain sensor has been
installed, check the sensor terminals, there should be a jumper
wire between them for proper operation.
3.
The Controller Fuse May Be Blown.
Replace the fuse. Fuses are available from HydroPoint Data
Systems distributors.

Adjust is Not Working
1.
Turn the Function Selector to RUN.
Check the Date and Time settings. Be sure they are correct.
2.
Turn the Function Selector to Review.
ADJUST changes may be subtle, shown as a small difference in
the run time or number of cycles, or it may be more significant
depending on how large the adjustment was. If you are towards
the end of the week when reviewing the schedule (Wed. or later)
the affect of ADJUST may not be evident in the current week.
Remember, any days that have already irrigated will appear in
the REVIEW display in spite of any ADJUST. You should see the
effect of ADJUST in week 2, 3, etc. with different day intervals.
