Before wiring, ensure the power transformer is unplugged. Remove the front panel of the controller to access the wiring terminals. Connect the common wire (typically white) to the "C" terminal. Connect each zone wire to its corresponding numbered terminal (1-8). If a master valve or pump start relay is used, connect its wire to the "P/MV" terminal. For detailed wiring instructions, refer to the official product guide video below.

การเขียนโปรแกรมเบื้องต้น

The controller supports 3 independent programs (A, B, C) with up to 4 start times each. To program:

1. Rotate the dial to the "Date/Time" position to set the current time and day. Use the arrow buttons to adjust values.
2. Turn the dial to "Start Times" to set the desired start times for each program.
3. Move the dial to "Run Times" to specify the watering duration for each station within each program.
4. Select "Water Days" to choose specific days of the week for irrigation or use the Cycle & Soak feature.

การปรับเปลี่ยนตามฤดูกาล

The Seasonal Adjust feature allows you to quickly increase or decrease all station run times by a percentage, adapting to changing weather conditions without reprogramming each zone individually. Rotate the dial to "Seasonal Adjust" and use the arrow buttons to set the desired percentage.

Water-Saving Features

• วงจรและการแช่: This feature breaks down longer watering times into shorter, more frequent cycles, allowing water to penetrate the soil more effectively and reducing runoff, especially on sloped areas or dense soils.
• Solar Sync Compatibility: The X-Core is compatible with Hunter's Solar Sync ET sensor (sold separately), which automatically adjusts watering schedules based on local weather conditions, optimizing water usage and promoting conservation.

การดำเนินการด้วยตนเอง

To manually operate a single station or all stations:

• Manual One Station: Turn the dial to "Manual" and use the arrow buttons to select the desired station and set its run time.
• Manual All Stations: Turn the dial to "Manual" and press the right arrow button to initiate a manual run of all stations in sequence.

การซ่อมบำรุง

หน่วยความจำไม่ลบเลือน

The X-Core controller is equipped with non-volatile memory, which permanently stores all programmed settings, including date and time, even during power outages. This eliminates the need for reprogramming after a power interruption.

Quick Check Diagnostics

The Quick Check feature allows for easy troubleshooting of field wiring issues. It scans the station wiring and displays an "err" message on the screen if a short circuit is detected on a particular station number, helping to quickly identify and resolve electrical problems.

การแก้ไขปัญหา

If the controller display is blank, first check the power outlet by plugging in another device. If the outlet has power, verify the transformer connection to the controller. If the display shows an "err" message, use the Quick Check feature to identify the problematic station wiring. For persistent issues, consult a qualified irrigation professional.
