SCROLLING FAULT
MESSAGE
ZONE XX INSUFFICIENT WATERING OPPORTUNITY:
INSUFFICIENT If the SmartLine® controller is in SMART
WATERING mode, and a daily deficit is calculated that
OPPORTUNITY results in a zone watering deficit in excess
of the 1.5" maximum, the deficit is capped
to the maximum and the fault is set. The
fault will clear automatically if the deficit
drops below 1.5 or can be cleared manu-
ally.

6.2 TESTS

Your SmartLine® controller can assist you with several diagnostic
functions by pressing NEXT when TESTS appears.

6.2.1 Outputs

Use the UP to select OUTPUTS function. Then use NEXT and
BACK buttons to scroll through MV and Zone Valves to view AC
Amp reading for each valve. Scroll BACK to OUTPUTS display to
move to next diagnostic function. Typical range is 150 to 350 mA
per valve with a valve connected. An OPEN or SHORT message
indicates a problem with a zone. Note: If you have more than
one valve on a zone, the SmartLine® controller will measure total
current for the combined valves.

FAULT DESCRIPTION

6.2.2 Battery

To read SmartLine battery voltage, turn the dial to Advanced
Menu. Push NEXT button to access Outputs, push the UP button
to access Battery and then push NEXT button to read remaining
voltage in the backup battery on the SL1600 Series or SL4800
controller. (Note: SL800 controller does not use a backup
battery.) All SmartLine controllers use a Real Time Clock/
Calendar instead of a backup battery to maintain correct time/
date during a power outage. SmartLine non-volatile memory
also maintains programming during power outages. Battery
usage is only necessary for viewing the control panel when it is
"open" or removed from the housing. The battery compartment
is located in the back of the control panel.
6.2.3 24V Pwr
This function displays output voltage at the transformer. Normal
reading is 24 to 30 volts AC.

6.2.4 Locator

This feature will create a
"chatter" for a selected valve
as a convenient method of
locating buried valves. Use
NEXT and BACK buttons to
scroll to the valve you want
to "chatter."
Advanced Menu 6.0
Note: If you are not
utilizing a master
valve, you must
turn off the system
water pressure at the manual
cut-off valve or water meter
for the locator feature to work.
Pressure must be off while
attempting to "chatter" a valve.
The SmartLine® controller
will automatically turn off MV
output when a "chatter" test is
initiated.
