CONNECTING A HUNTER “CLIK” WEATHER SENSOR

A Hunter weather sensor or other micro-switch type weather

sensors can be connected to the X-Core. The purpose of this sensor

is to stop automatic watering when weather conditions dictate.

1. Remove the metal jumper plate that is attached across the two

SEN terminals inside the controller.

2. Connect one wire to one SEN terminal and the other wire to the

other SEN terminal.

When the weather sensor has

deactivated automatic watering, the

OFF, and icon will appear on the

display.

Testing the Weather Sensor

The X-Core provides simplied testing of a rain sensor when the

sensor is wired into the sensor circuit. You can manually test proper

operation of the rain sensor by running an AUTO CYCLE or by

activating the system using the One Touch AUTO CYCLE (See page

22). During the Manual cycle, pressing the top spindle on the Hunter

sensor will interrupt watering.

Manually Bypassing the Weather Sensor

If the rain sensor is interrupting irrigation,

you can bypass it by using the bypass switch

on the front of the controller. Slide the

switch to the SENSOR BYPASS position to

disable the rain sensor from the system to

allow for controller operation. When using

the MANUAL – ONE STATION function, the

controller will automatically bypass sensor inputs for the selected

time. Once complete, the controller will default to selected settings.

Sync sensor. It will, however, bypass the Rain Clik
