Set Sensor Operation - Hunter ACC-1200 Manual

PAUSE indicates the controller will stop watering
until the sensor allows watering again (resets to
normal state).
PAUSE should be used with caution! Paused watering
(caused by a sensor) never expires. It is held in
memory until the sensor returns to the normal
position (normally closed), and then the watering
events will be allowed to run whenever this occurs.
This may cause unexpected behavior. This is different
from the manual Pause (pushing the Pause button),
which will time out in 30 minutes automatically
Watering that is Paused by a sensor alarm will
technically remain forever (up to 10 start times worth
will be stored), and will resume when the sensor
becomes normal or inactive again.

Set SenSOr OPerAtIOn

1. Use the Program button to select each Program and
set the sensor responses. Each Program must have
a response set individually for shutdowns. If it is
necessary to shut down the entire controller on the
sensor input, insure that all 6 Programs (A-F) have
shutdowns set for the sensor.
2. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to move through
the individual sensors.
3. Use the +/- buttons to select the response to each
sensor for that program.
4. Use the Program button to advance to the next
Program and set its responses.

Once a response (SUSPEND or PAUSE) has been set for a
Program, all sensor responses must either be the same, or
Off. A Program cannot be both Paused and Suspended at
the same time.
If a Pause response is set for Program A to Sensor 2, then
Pause is the only response that can be set for Program A.
Changing Sensor 3 to Suspend A will cause Sensor 2 to
change to Suspend A.
If the entire controller is required to shut down on an
individual sensor input, each program (A-F) must be
individually set to Pause or Suspend for that sensor.
Depending on how many sensors you are installing,
only change the sensor response to pause or suspend
according to sensor number one. Do not change the
response for sensor two, three and four. This will cause
the controller to engage in numerous sensor alarms. In a
different scenario, if the sensor response is changed to
pause or suspend, and the sensor has not been connected
to the corresponding sensor terminals, the state change
will remain active, indicating an open circuit. This too will
cause a sensor alarm.
: Only change the sensor responses to pause or suspend
for the Sensor inputs that are in use.
Example: If you only have one sensor, and it is wired into
sensor input number one, set the response for Suspend
or Pause, according to sensor number one. Do not change
the response for sensors two, three, and four. Leave them
set to Off.
Example #2: In this scenario, a Rain-Clik
to Sensor 1. It will Suspend the sprinkler stations in
programs A through E when active.
Sensor 2 has a photo sensor connected, which will
Suspend only Program F (which can be used for items like
lighting, via 24VAC relay). The Rain-Clik
affect the lighting, and the photo sensor will not affect the
sprinklers.
