Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Display shows a station number
with "ERR"
Faulty station solenoid or short in
the eld wiring
Check eld wiring and solenoids for continuity,
and replace any faulty solenoids.
Display shows "P ERR"
Short in the pump start/master valve
wiring or faulty pump start or master valve
solenoid
Check the master valve or pump start wires for
continuity, and replace or repair any shorted
wires. Check that all wire connections are
good and watertight. Check pump start relay
specications for proper installation.
Display shows "SP ERR"
SmartPort error; this represents electrical
noise present near the connection to a
remote receiver
Move connections away from electrical noise
source. Check the SmartPort wiring harness
and verify the red wire is attached to the AC 1
terminal, and the blue wire to the REM terminal
If the SmartPort wiring harness is extended from
the controller, ensure shielded cable is used
(ROAM-SCWH).
Display shows "NO AC"
No AC power present, and the controller is
not receiving power
Check fuse/breaker and incoming power supply
to the controller, ensure transformer is wired and
installed properly.
Frozen or garbled display Power surge Reset the controller.
Controller not recognizing correct
station count
Module installed incorrectly, forgot to
press "Reset" button aer installing new
module, or faulty module
Verify modules are seated properly and locked
into position, oriented the correct way in proper
slots. Remember to press the "Reset" button on
the back of the control panel aer adding a new
module.
Display shows the program is running,
but no actual watering
Problem in eld wiring, faulty solenoid(s),
faulty valve(s), or no water pressure
to system
Check eld wiring and solenoids for continuity,
replace any faulty solenoids and/or repair any
poor wire connections. Check valves for debris,
body breaks, diaphragm tears, and proper
operation. Ensure the water source is open and
pressurized.
Rain or other Clik-type sensor does not
stop irrigation
Jumper wire is not removed, sensor switch
is in "Bypass" position, or incompatible
sensor installed
Remember to remove red jumper wire on SEN
terminals. Ensure sensor switch is set to "active."
Verify a normally closed (NC) sensor is installed.
Controller seems to water continuously Too many start times programmed
Only one start time is required to operate all
stations within a program sequentially (you do
not need to set a start time for each individual
station). Remove all unnecessary start times.
Controller not running automatic
programming
Possible programming error(s),
sensor is activated and interrupting
circuit, Programmable O is in eect,
time/date errors
Verify all programs, days to water, start
times, and station run times are programmed
correctly. Check display for sensor fault
notication. Check display for "OFF" days.
Check controller time, date, and AM/PM/24
hour mode settings.
