MESSAGE
ZONE XX
EXCESSIVE DEFICIT: If the SmartLine®
EXCESSIVE
controller is in SMART mode, and a daily
DEFICIT
deficit is calculated that 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 manually.

10.2 TESTS

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

10.2.1 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.

Use the UP button to select BATTERY (applies to SL1600,
SL4800 & SL9600TW only), Push the Next button once to read
battery voltage status. A minimum of 7.5V is required to operate
the screen. SL9600TW controllers use a Real Time Calendar

read output voltage for the transformer. Normal reading is 24 to
30 volts AC.

10.2.4 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."

10.3 REVIEW

Turn dial to Advanced Menu.
Push NEXT button to access
review functions. Use UP/
DOWN buttons to select
review functions you wish
to view.

10.3.1 TEMP/DATA

TEMP/DATA provides
the daily high/low
temperature readings in
Fahrenheit (Celsius for 230V
applications) from the SLW
Weather Sensor for the
past 5 days. Press NEXT to view daily high and low readings for
the prior day. Continue pressing NEXT to view up to 5 days of
temperature history.
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.
