Questions and answers

The Irritrol KwikDial controller flashes the message "SEN" (sensor) when the connected rain sensor has absorbed rainwater and signals the controller to suspend all watering operations. This display continues until the sensor dries out and resets the controller for automatic operation.

After going through 3 stages on automatic setting my KwikDial starts the cycle all over again. How do I stop the second phase?
To stop the second phase of the Irritrol KwikDial automatic cycle, turn the control dial to the Off position. The display will show OFF and flash for three seconds. Once the flashing stops, any watering operation currently in progress will be turned off, and programmed automatic operation will stop.
