CONNECTING A HUNTER SOLAR SYNC ET SENSOR

The X-Core is compatible with the Solar Sync and Wireless Solar
Sync systems. Solar Sync is a sensor system that will automatically
adjust the X-Core controller's watering schedule (based on changes
in local climate condition) by using the Seasonal Adjust function. The
Solar Sync uses a solar and temperature sensor to determine evapo-
transpiration (ET), or the rate at which plants and turf use water, and
also includes Hunter Rain Clik and Freeze Clik technology that will
shut down irrigation when it rains and/or during freezing conditions.
NOTE: Solar Sync will apply a default seasonal adjust
value of 100% until the first full day (24 - hour period)
of weather measurements have been received from the
sensor.
NOTE: Enabling the Sensor Bypass switch has no effect
on the seasonal adjust updates from the Solar Sync sen-
sor. It will, however, bypass the Rain Clik and Freeze Clik
functionality of the sensor.
NOTE: The Solar Sync module is not required for
installation using the X-core Controller.

Installing Solar Sync Sensor

Connect the Green and Black wire from the Solar Sync Sensor to the
"SEN" wiring terminals on the X-Core controller, similar to picture
on page 11. It does not matter which
wire connects to which terminal. Turn
the dial to the "Solar Sync Settings"
position. The display will initially show
dashed lines and then will show the
default Region setting (3) on the left
14
and the default Water Adjustment setting (5) on the right. Adjust
the Region as needed by using the
button to advance to the right to adjust the Water Adjust setting as
needed (see page 14 for explanation of Water Adjust setting).

Installing the Wireless Solar Sync

Connect the Green and Black wire from the Wireless Solar Sync
Receiver to the "SEN" wiring terminals on the X-Core controller. It
does not matter which wire connects to which terminal. Turn the dial
to the "Solar Sync Settings" position. The display will initially show
dashed lines and then will show the default Region setting (3) on
the left and the default Water Adjustment setting (5) on the right.
Adjust the region as needed by using the
page 15 for explanation of Solar Sync
Region setting). Use the
to advance to the right to adjust the
Water Adjust setting as needed (see
page 16 for explanation of Water
Adjust setting).

Solar Sync Settings

Once the Solar Sync sensor is connected to the X-Core controller,
two numbers will appear in the display when the dial is turned to the
Solar Sync Settings position. The number on the left of the screen is
the Region setting, and the number on the right on the screen is the
Water Adjustment setting (as shown above).
