I have programmed 4 watering stations. When the 4th has completed it pauses and starts again with station 1. How can I correct that?

Can I get a manual for Hunter SRC600i

I have emailed you a pdf copy of the Hunter SRC-600i user manual to your email address. Your comment though has made me think though that it would be good if we uploaded all the user manuals for the reviewed products to this site for quick and easy downloading by our readers. Thanks for your comment and request.

Barbara,
Without actually being able to lay hands on the controller, it sounds as if the controller has been set with duplicate irrigation times. As controllers allow for multiple irrigation times so that you can set one up for say normal day to day watering, one for winter and one for a special occation such as outdoor parties or whatever to insure that the sprinklers do not water on that day.
I would check that the only one watering time is selected and correctly set. Also, as controllers have a MANUAL setting, make sure the timers controller dial is set to “RUN” and not to “MANUAL – ALL STATIONS”.

Have had the SRC-600i for around 5 years now and never had a problem with it. Would recommend this controller.

I have a SRC plus with nine stations. I cannot operate it using “Run”; it only comes on if I twist the dial to “Run (Bypass Sensor)” Any suggestions for trouble shooting; the sensor is wireless. Thanks
