I have an outdoor timer sst1200s. there was a very brief power outage. the timer had to be reset and was done by the no less than 3 people including myself. To my question, the timer will not water as programed and has to be done manually station by station. I noted the rain sensor light is not on & the upper display window shows 100% even after the reset. It does have a sensor mounted on the fascia board above. My next step was to disconnect the yellow wires for the sensor? I think I saw somewhere that I have to install a shunt across the sensor terminals for it to function? Your take please. Thanks in advance, Phil PS: love this unit and have 3 of them !!!
