Pro-C Controller
Non-volatile Memory
Holds programs indefinitely; excellent
insurance against unreliable power
The Pro-C has what every user of electronic
controllers has wished for: the ability to keep
all programs in memory without a backup
battery. In the event of a power failure or if
AC power is suspended from the controller by
the user, the Pro-Cʼs non-volatile memory will
maintain programs forever, without need for
a battery. Normal watering will resume when
AC power is restored.
No Battery Required
Maintain time of day up to four weeks
The circuitry of the Pro-C has such low power
consumption that the controller will accurately
track the time of day for up to four weeks
after AC power has been removed from the
controller by the user or in the event of a
power outage. This timekeeping occurs
without need for a battery. When
power is restored the controller will
continue to water, right on schedule.
The controller will also reset its
circuits to allow another 4 weeks of
time keeping.
Self-Diagnostic Electronic Short
Circuit Protection
No fuses to worry about; only faulty
stations stop watering
The Pro-C automatically skips shorted
stations allowing the rest of the system
to operate as normal. The self-diagnostic
electronic short circuit protection system is
very beneficial to the user because of its ability
to aid in identifying field wiring problems.
It is almost as if the controller can trouble-
shoot the system itself.
The self-diagnostic system detects a high
current path—a “short”—through an operating
station (the most common causes of shorts
are faulty solenoids or when a bare valve
common wire touches a bare station control
wire). When a short circuit is detected on
a station, instead of blowing a fuse which
would shut down the entire irrigation system,
the controller will skip over that station and
continue to water the rest of the zones in
the program. The controller will indicate
what zone is shorting by showing the station
number followed by ERR in the LCD display.
The controller will continue to “jump over”
that zone during every watering until the
zone is repaired. To remove the ERR message
from the display, just turn the dial or push
any button.
