Self-Diagnostic Electronic Short Circuit
Protection...
No fuses to worry about; only faulty
stations stop watering
The SRC Plus automatically skips shorted
stations allowing the rest of the system
to operate as normal. The self-diagnostic
electronic short circuit protection system
is very beneficial to the user because of
its ability to aid in identifying field wiring
problems. It is almost as if the controller
can troubleshoot the system itself.
The self-diagnostic system detects a
high current path – a "short" – through an
operating station (the most common causes
of shorts are faulty solenoids or when a
bare valve common wire touches a bare
station control wire). When a short circuit
is detected on a station, instead of blowing
a fuse which would shut down the entire
irrigation system, the controller will skip
over that station and continue to water the
rest of the zones in the program.
The controller will indicate what zone is
shorting by showing the station number
followed by ERR in the LCD display. The
controller will continue to "jump over" that
zone during every watering until the zone
is repaired. To remove the ERR message
from the display, just turn the dial or push
any button.
SRC Plus Controller
Upgrade to Centralized Control...
Network through IMMS™ to make
programming changes and monitor system
conditions from your computer
The SRC can be networked to your
computer through the Hunter Irrigation
Management and Monitoring System™
(IMMS). The IMMS allows the user to
program controller functions that would
typically be handled directly at each
controller. Scheduling days to water, run
times, start times and more can be done
from a single computer at a desk miles
away from the installation. A key function
of the IMMS is its ability to monitor
changing conditions with the aid of such
options as flow sensors, rain sensors, and
other weather-sensing devices. No system
available today is more cost effective
than the Hunter IMMS. Best of all it is
able to team with any or all of the Hunter
controllers, including the SRC.
