Your Hunter XC Hybrid Series irrigation controller may not be working after a power outage due to the following reasons:
1. Batteries are dead – Replace the batteries to restore functionality. 2. Controller is not receiving AC power – Check AC power connections if using a transformer. 3. Memory reset – The controller may have lost its programming. If needed, reprogram it or restore the saved program using the Easy Retrieve™ feature.
Check these issues and take the necessary steps to restore operation.

CALIBRATION/ SET UP After Solar Sync has been installed and programmed, it is recommended to allow the system to run for a few days at the initial setting. Because of the variety in site conditions (including sensor location, amount of direct sunlight available to the sensor, reflective heat from surrounding structures, etc), the initial setting may require adjustment in order to arrive at the desired performance.
