Display Messages (Status,
Errors and other Conditions)
Status Displays: Normally, the VSX display
will show the current day and time. It may also
show a "+" or "-" sign before the Day if the
controller has been % Scaled to a value other
than 100% (see Set Main % Scale on page
11). Whenever VSX is running a station for
any reason, the display will also indicate what
is running, why, and how much time is left on
the station:
1. Type of Activity
A=Automatic
S=Semi-automatic
Sim=Simultaneous Manual
Seq=Sequential Manual
P=Preset
SYS=System Program Event
SME=System Manual Event
2. Program or Preset Number
3. Current Station Number
4. Time remaining (in hours:minutes:secs) on current station
44
If there is too much information to display in a
single screen, VSX will flash a series of
screens, each with more information about
station activity. The screens will continue to
cycle through all activity with updated infor-
mation until all stations cease running.
If you would like to review all currently run-
ning stations more quickly, you can speed up
the review of the display by pressing Enter,
Back, Next, or any of the number buttons. This
will advance the station numbers of all cur-
rently active stations with every button push.
This does not affect irrigation, only the display.
If the controller is running a Block, the Block
number will not be listed in the status display,
but the individual stations within the Block
will be listed sequentially.
If a station is running and there is no activity
listed in the status display, it may have been
turned on manually at the valve, or there could
be a malfunction in the valve, or a possible
malfunction in the VSX outputs. If the VSX
has intentionally operated a valve it will always
appear in the status display. If you are not sure
why a sprinkler is running at any time, check
the controller display first.
Other Messages: In addition to the status
display, VSX will sometimes display other
messages.
OVERLOAD! ### (where ### is a station
number): The VSX Field Controller is
equipped with automatic Overload protection
to prevent damage to the transformer. This
message indicates that a station or stations
caused the internal current monitoring elec-
tronics to trip, and turn off all stations that
were running.
When VSX detects an overload condition it
stops all stations currently running, and then
