Questions and answers
I set my start time for 6:30 AM. It starts on time , but about 2 hrs later it again starts BY ITSELF AND repeats the entire cycle. How do I stop the 2nd cycle?
I set the start time @ 6:30 AM . Sprinklers came on as scheduled. About 2hrs later, the sprinklers started again and completed another cycle WITHOUT ME SETTING A SECOND CYCLE ! How do I stop this second cycle from continuing?
How do I stop my system from TURNING ITSELF ON AND WATERING A SECOND CYCLE TIME ABOUT 1hour LATER?
We want the system to run every day. The system will not do what the instruction say.
To set the Hunter Pro-C system to run every day, use the "Set Days to Water" setting. Press the plus (+) button for each day of the week to turn it on. A water droplet will appear above each day, indicating it will run. Make sure all seven days have the water droplet icon.

Sensor status light is blinking red and making a loud clicking noise
A blinking red sensor status light and loud clicking noise on a Hunter Pro-C usually indicate that the sensor is being triggered (e.g., by pressing the plunger), but the controller may not be recognizing or processing the signal correctly. This may be due to faulty or incompatible wiring, a missing or incorrectly installed sensor jumper, or an incompatible sensor type.

I turned my sytem off for the winter and now when I turned it back on I get an icon of a sprinkler head flashing on and off and the water does not come out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
The flashing sprinkler head icon on your Hunter Pro-C system indicates that the controller is running a scheduled watering cycle. However, if no water is coming out, possible reasons include:
1. Water Supply Shut Off – The water may be turned off at the zone valves. Try turning the solenoid on a valve counterclockwise a quarter to a half turn to check if water flows manually.
2. Electrical Issue – Use a voltmeter to check if there is 24-28V AC at the screw terminal marked "C" to confirm the controller is sending power to the valves.
3. Damaged Sprinkler Head – If you found a broken sprinkler head in the yard, it may be causing a leak or blockage, preventing proper operation.
Checking these factors can help diagnose and fix the issue.

Our system was up and running. I had to turn it off which I turned it to off. When I went to start it up again my controller appears to be running but no water is coming out of the sprinkler heads. I have read the manual many times. What could be wrong?
