Set Station & Program Names; Assign Contact Information - Hunter ACC-1200 Manual

See SSG (Simultaneous Station Group) Setup on page 47
for more information..
An SSG (Simultaneous Station Group) is a group of up
to four stations that water at the same time, for the same
duration. Any 2 to 4 stations can be placed into an SSG,
and from that time on, they will be programmed and
operated as a single unit.
Combining stations into SSGs shortens programming
time, and can also shorten watering time (by running
multiple stations at once). SSGs should normally combine
similar stations, with similar watering needs and flows, to
be used to their best advantage.
When using SSGs, the controller can electrically only
handle one SSG, two stations, and two Master Valves
simultaneously, maximum. You must choose this option if
you plan on using SSGs.
If SSG/SmartStack is chosen:
• Use the up and down arrow buttons to navigate to the
number of stations (allowed to overlap with an SSG).
• Use the +/- buttons to set the number of stations
permitted to overlap an SSG.
• Since an SSG may contain up to 4 stations, setting this
number to "1" means that up to 5 stations may run at
once (up to 4 in the SSG, plus one additional station).
Setting the number to "2" means that up to 6 stations
may run at once. Setting this to 0 means SSGs must
run by themselves and may not overlap individual
stations.
• ACC does not adjust overlap and stacking for SSGs
which have fewer than 4 stations in them... it assumes
that all SSGs have four stations, and the number of
stations allowed with an SSG applies, regardless of the
SSG's actual size.
• If the If the Program Overlap option has been set
to SSG/SmartStack with a limit of 2, and an SSG is
activated manually, the controller will assume the
SSG may have up to 4 stations, and therefore, only 2
other stations will be permitted to run at the same time
manually.
• Once a station is programmed into an SSG that station
that may not have a run time by itself in any other
program.
CAUTION: Understand your irrigation system's hydraulic
restrictions before allowing stations to Smartstack or
SSG/SmartStack. Overlapping stations may overtax the
hydraulics of your system. Overtaxing your hydraulics
will damage the components and result in inferior
sprinkler performance. Mixing dissimilar stations in SSGs
may cause over or underwatering of certain plant types.

Set StAtIOn & PrOGrAM nAMeS
All set Station and Program names of the ACC can be
named for easy reference. This can either be setup via the
IMMS central control software, or it can be programmed
at the controller using the keypad. The Contact Info
screen can also be programmed at this position. This sets
the display which appears when the controller is turned
on, and which also appears in many of the Information
screens. The factory default setting is Hunter Industries
contact information, but it can be replaced with the
company name, telephone number, and/or web site of the
appropriate installing or servicing personnel.

1. Turn the dial to SET STATION and PROGRAM NAMES
position. Use the +/- buttons to select a letter,
number, or character for each letter position.
It is possible to reprogram a character right over
the existing text.
2. Hold the + or – button down continuously to advance
rapidly through all choices, including capitals, lower
case, numbers, and characters.
3. Use the left and right arrow buttons to advance
to the next character position, and select the next
character.
4. Continue until the line is complete. Use the arrow
buttons to move down and reprogram each line.
5. Turn the dial to any other position, at any time, to
save the text in the Contact Info screen.
6. Turn the dial to any other position, at any time, to
save the text in the Contact Info screen.
