" . . .sometimes things just need a good hit to learn to behave." Hmm. Sounds just like my father when I was (a hundred years) younger!!
I just wish you knew how much I wish I could tell you what the problem was!! I have wracked my brains to figure out what made the stations "go away," and the closest I have come to establishing a cause seems to be my own stupidity in whatever I did trying to re-program!! (It's comforting that this Forum uses aliases!!) Seriously, I have no idea what caused the problem; I was re-programming using a Rain Pro manual I down-loaded (it's identical to the Pro C one I was sent); everything was operatin...
"Irrigation controller has found it's stations"!!! A thousand thanks for those who helped!! I have a garden in a house on the outskirts of "sunny Madrid" (today 30C!), and a functioning irrigation system is a must! Thank you for taking me on my crash-course through this "wee bit" of trouble-shooting, and pushing me up my irrigation systems learning curve! My wife says "Thanks" as well, as a) she was starting to worry about her garden, and b) I was driving her crazy (again!).
Hello again. I have tried to change the modules as suggested, but whoever wired the system (before I bought the house) didn't leave sufficient free wiring for me to move second module, numbered 7, 8, & 9, up to the top module space, which is numbered 10, 11, & 12. Connection 12 is un-wired. All other connections are secure. Try as I might, I can't pull enough cable through the conduit to let me swap the positions of these top two modules. Obviously, the top module drops into the slot for the thi...
Hello again! As you have probably guessed, I am new to irrigation systems, so don't know (from top to bottom inside the controller) which is module 4-6, 7-10, etc. How do I identify each so that I can try the swap? In the meantime, I'll search the internet for the Pro-C User's Manual. Thanks again to both!
Hello, And thank you for your suggestion. I have triple-checked the modules and all are secure, with all cable connections ditto. While I was (trying) to re-program, I didn't touch any of the innards of the controller, so didn't believe the problem was there. Anyway, after re-checking, I still am only able to see stations 1, 2, and 3, with 4 to 10 . . . somewhere. Merci.
My Hits Products "Rain Pro Modular" controller - probably five or six years old - has recently "lost" seven if the ten stations it used to show (now I only see stations 1, 2, & 3). All three programs - A, B, & C - have the same problem. What has happened, and how can I fix it?
