Controls And Indicators - Rain Bird E-6C User Manual

Every three seconds, the LCD displays the problem station’s
number and the letters “Err.” The controller will continue to run
each operable station in the program. As each station is
running, the controller (at an alternate 3-second interval)
displays the working station’s number and run time remaining.
When the controller finishes the program, it will continue to
display the problem station’s number and the “Err” message.
After the program finishes, you should isolate and repair the
short circuit. Short circuits occur most frequently in the valve
solenoid (the plastic-encapsulated coil on the valve with the
two wire leads), or in the wire connectors to the valve leads.
After you find and repair the short circuit, turn the programming
dial to AUTO. Then press ENTER to clear the “Err” message
from the display. You may wish to operate the station manually
to make sure it works properly. (See “Manually Run a
Station(s)” on p. 19).
The LCD display shown in Diagram 3 indicates that the
controller has detected a short circuit on station 2.
