    Alert

    PDF es:

    A hardware alert occurs when the controller is not detecting all of the user-defined Max Active Stations. Irrigation will not occur on those stations, because the controller cannot irrigate stations that are not detected.


    Possible causes

    • The user-defined Max Active Stations exceeds the number of stations detected by the controller

    • One or more Station Keys are missing or improperly installed

    • The ribbon cable between station input/output boards is defective or connecting pins are bent

    • A station output board has been damaged



    To View a Hardware Alert

    1.  Press ALERTS.

    2.  Press à until the VIEW HARDWARE STATUS screen displays.

    3.  Press SELECT to view the alert.



    Possible Fixes

    • Verify Max Active Stations in SETUP menu

    • Confirm ribbon cables are seated properly

    • Verify the number of Station Keys is adequate for the required stations

    • Use another ribbon cable or unbend the connector pins

    • Look for scorch marks on the board or a strong odor of burnt components. Replace as needed.



    How to Clear a Hardware Alert

    Approximately 30 seconds after the situation is remedied, the controller automatically clears this alert.
