You may then press NEXT (or BACK) to step
through the system events stored in the system
portion of the controller memory. If you see SYS
events you would like to edit, you must return to
the central computer to edit them.
Remove SYS Events: This will delete the Vista/
Surveyor central events which have been down-
loaded to the Field Controller. This should only be
used if you need to remove the computer central
system program events from the controller.
If these events are deleted, the controller will
not irrigate, unless:
You have Field Controller Programs activated
in the controller.
You irrigate manually or through Maintenance
Radio commands.
You restore the information from the Vista or
Surveyor central computer (this can only be
done from the computer, with working commu-
nications).
To remove the SYS events: Press OPTIONS
until the Rem SYS Events? option appears,
and press ENTER. The display will show:
The display defaults to NO, because this is
your last chance to keep the SYS Events.
If you are certain you want to remove the SYS
events, press TOGGLE to capitalize YES, and
press ENTER. The display will briefly show
REMOVED and all centrally-generated irriga-
tion events will no longer exist.

Radio Xmit Test (Radio controllers only): The
Radio Transmit (Xmit) Test option only appears
in VSX controllers equipped with radio commu-
nications modules, and is used to test the radio
and communications board. If you are not certain
whether the radio communications are function-

for 5 seconds, which can be heard on a Mainte-
nance Radio switched to the same frequency.
To run a radio test: Press OPTIONS until
Radio Xmit Test appears in the display, and
press ENTER. The display will show:
...for approximately 5 seconds. Then the
TRANSMITTING! message will disappear,
indicating that the test is concluded. You may
press ENTER to run the test again, if you wish.
You should hear a clear, solid tone on your
Maintenance Radio if the test is successful.
Maintenance Radio
Operations
Maintenance Radio is the term for the ability to
operate many VSX Controller functions from a
handheld walkie-talkie equipped with
TouchTone buttons (Hunter Golf Part # TRNR).
This convenient remote control option is a
time-saving favorite with superintendents and
other VSX users, and permits remote starting
and stopping of Programs, Presets, Blocks, and
individual stations, anywhere within the range
of the walkie-talkie.
Maintenance Radio operations require one of two
communications options in the VSX controller:
