This entry-level residential controller offers simple operation with “smart” Solar Sync compatibility. With easy-to-configure control for up to 8 stations, including 3 programs and 4 start times each, the X-Core is the perfect solution for residential applications. Plug in the revolutionary Solar Sync ET sensor and the X-Core is converted into a “smart controller,” that regulates irrigation runtimes based on locally measured weather. X-Core is also compatible with Hunter remotes for quick, wireless activation of irrigation. Installation, operation and maintenance are designed to be simple while still delivering optimal efficiency or reliability.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:

The controller is continuously watering
– Too many start times have been programmed

There is no display
– Check AC power wiring

The display reads “No AC”
– There is no AC power present (the controller is not receiving any power)

Display reads “Off, AuUmbrella, System Off”
– The rain sensor is interrupting irrigation or the sensor jumper has been removed

Rain sensor will not shut off the system
– Defective rain sensor
– Jumper was not removed when sensor was installed
– Stations have been programmed to override the sensor

Frozen display, or showing incorrect information
– Power surge

Display shows “ERR” with a number (1 to 8)
– Short in the valve wiring circuit, or faulty solenoid on the station number indicated

Display shows “P ERR”
– Faulty pump relay or master valve wiring
– Incompatible or defective relay or solenoid
– Undersized wire to the pump relay or master valve

Display shows a station is running but the “Umbrella” and “Automatic Watering” icons are flashing
– The sensor is interrupting irrigation, however the station has been programmed to override the sensor

Automatic irrigation does not start at the start time and controller is not in the System Off mode
– AM/PM of time of day not set correctly
– AM/PM of start time not set correctly
– Start Time is disabled (set for Off)
– Controller is not receiving AC power

The display shows dashes when the dial is in the Solar Sync Settings position
– The Solar Sync sensor is not connected to the controller
– The Solar Sync sensor wires may have a break in them or a bad connection

Run times for a particular station are too short/too long when using a Solar Sync sensor
– Program Run Time too long/short

Seasonal Adjust seems low
– Region too high
– Water Adjustment too low
– Location of sensor does not allow for full sun

Seasonal Adjust seems high
– Region too low
– Water Adjustment setting too high

Solar Sync still sending Seasonal Adjust when Controller Bypass switch is in the “Bypass” position
– Solar Sync’s automated Seasonal Adjustment cannot be deactivated by the Bypass switch. The Bypass switch only controls the Rain/Freeze shutoff function of the Solar Sync.
