How to Program a Hunter EC Sprinkler / Irrigation Controller

[@TomWoodwardLooksmarvlus]

You missed out something important about 1:44 in the video. If you press the + sign until it's flashing over day 7 and then once more the INTERVAL ICON will start flashing. Once there you can set the watering interval. That's important in cities like mine where you have a specific start date for watering and from that point on you may only water every third day without being fined.

I have an umbrella on the display and the system will not turn on how do I fix?

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

Do you have a rain sensor? if sontry unplugging that. My rain sensor never worked.

[@5818fa1]

@@AmericaOutdoors1 No rain sensor. There is a jumper in the box where the sensor is connected. A black wire is also connected on the right side of the jumper.

Well the instructions is saying the umbrella is suspending irrigation. I would look into the black wire or even check to make sure the connections are tight and free of any corrosion. www.hunterindustries.com/sites/default/files/OM_EC_DOM.pdf

Hey guys, in the place i work there is the same hunter controller that has 6 stations. But when i go to set the start time i cycle through stations 1 to 4. Do i miss something there?

To be honest, I am not sure anymore. My controller broke, and I ended up going with the Orbitz B-hyve controller, which has worked flawlessly over the last year. The best thing about that is it has Bluetooth capabilities. Sorry I could not be of more help. www.amazon.com/Orbit-B-hyve-57925-8-Station-Controller/dp/B07DJ2QTW9/ref=asc_df_B07DJ628XH/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=278878233965&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18340045754271652468&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011613&hvtargid=pla-473465700128&psc=1&mcid=d6ce33ac9af131dd815cb5dcc281c83d&th=1

Only started using one of these today so not an expert. I think you may be setting the 4 zones, not stations. 4 time zones could be the four watering periods in any day that can be set differently for all stations. Mine is a different model and has Zones A, B, C. You can leave these OFF and use the manual all stations instead, though you will have to start it each time watering is required. You could also set only Zone A if just one watering per day is ok but remember to set the start time and run time for each of the 6 stations.
