Caution: The rain pause feature is intended to be used
ONLY during rain events. To stop irrigation during
specific events, please go to
pause the controller via the Event Pause feature. Event
pause will pause all stations regardless of the Usable

This menu previews programming changes of individual
station data or flow parameters (if a flow sensor is used and
setup).
Station Data: Press the right or left arrow button to view
station data. Press the right or left arrow button to change the
station number and the plus or minus button to view projected
water days (based on current ET) in one week increments from
1-8 weeks. Displayed station data includes run time, cycle and
soak periods, station mode, % adjustments, projected water
days on a weekly basis.
Flow Data: Press the plus or minus button to view flow data.
Press the right or left arrow button to view previously setup flow
parameters. (If a flow sensor is set-up and used).
Manual Valve Test
Manual Valve Test Function: This feature confirms wire
integrity between the controller and valves in the field. This
test can quickly identify, on a station basis, where an electrical
fault exists.
Run Manual Valve Test: Press the MANUAL Menu button.
Press the right or left arrow button to RUN VALVE TEST. Press
the plus or minus button to change from Skip to View. Press
the button to run the Manual Valve Test. You will hear
the controller briefly send a signal to every station including
the master valve. Press the right or left arrow button to view
the first eight valves. Press the right or left arrow button to
view additional stations in groups of eight. "?" means the test
has not been operated and "- -"means the station does not
have an electrical fault. This test cannot be run if any valve is
operating. The controller will identify a (SH) "Short" (current
draw exceeding 1000 mA) or (NC) "No Connect" reflecting a
broken wire.

Caution: Valve alerts must be cleared in the ALERT
menu to ensure stations will operate. Failure to clear an
alert could suspend watering. If a relay is present, the

The controller will display the milliamp draw of any station
solenoid in this test.
Step 1. Press the main menu button to SETUP.
Step 2. Press the right arrow button until the following screen
appears:
RUN VALVE TEST — RTVT:OFF

stations and the master valve.
Step 4. If any field wiring issues exist, they will be identified
as a "Fault". A valve fault could be "SH" (Valve Short)
from a failing solenoid or an "NC" (Valve No-Connect
or open) reflecting a broken wire or wire that is not
making good contact in the corresponding station
terminal.
