CONNECTING A HUNTER SOLAR SYNC
The X-Core is compatible with the Solar Sync and Wireless Solar Sync
®
systems. Solar Sync is a sensor system that will automatically adjust
the X-Core controller's watering schedule (based on changes in local
climate condition) by using the Seasonal Adjust function. The Solar
Sync uses a solar and temperature sensor to determine evapotrans-
piration (ET), or the rate at which plants and turf use water, and also
includes Hunter Rain-Clik and Freeze-Clik
®
down irrigation when it rains and/or during freezing conditions.
NOTE: Solar Sync will apply a default seasonal adjust
value of 100% until the first full day (24 hour period) of
weather measurements have been received from the
sensor.
NOTE: Enabling the Sensor Bypass switch has no effect
on the seasonal adjust updates from the Solar Sync
sensor. It will, however, bypass the Rain Clik and Freeze
Clik functionality of the sensor.
Installing Solar Sync Sensor
Connect the Green and Black wire from the Solar Sync Sensor to the
"SEN" wiring terminals on the X-Core controller, similar to picture on
page 11. It does not matter which wire connects to which terminal. Turn
the dial to the "Solar Sync Settings" position. The display will initially
show dashed lines and then will show the default Region setting (3)
on the left and the default Water Adjustment setting (5) on the right.
Adjust the Region as needed by using the
and buttons (refer to page 13 for
explanation of Solar Sync Region setting).
Use the button to advance to the right to
adjust the Water Adjust setting as needed
(see page 14 for explanation of Water Adjust setting).

Installing the Wireless Solar Sync
Connect the Green and Black wire from the Wireless Solar Sync
Receiver to the "SEN" wiring terminals on the X-Core controller. It does
not matter which wire connects to which terminal. Turn the dial to the
"Solar Sync Settings" position. The display will initially show dashed
lines and then will show the default Region setting (3) on the left and
the default Water Adjustment setting (5) on the right. Adjust the
region as needed by using the
explanation of Solar Sync Region setting). Use the
to the right to adjust the Water Adjust setting as needed (see page 14
for explanation of Water Adjust setting).
Solar Sync Settings
Once the Solar Sync sensor is connected
to the X-Core controller, two numbers
will appear in the display when the dial is
turned to the Solar Sync Settings position.
The number on the left of the screen is the
Region setting, and the number on the
right on the screen is the Water Adjustment setting (as shown above).
