Section 5: Reference - HYDRO RAIN HRC 100-C Manuel De L'utilisateur

Example: To manually water on station 3 for five
minutes, press the [MANUAL] button then press the
[   ] buttons until you see station 3; using the [+/–]
buttons, set duration to five minutes; press [ENTER] .
Note: After the [MANUAL] button has been pushed, if a selection
is not made within 5 seconds all stations and programs will
begin watering using the programmed RUN TIMES. If no RUN
TIMES have been set, nothing will happen and the display will
return to the time of day.
Manual "Test" Cycle
The HRC 100 C is capable of running a "Manual Test Cycle"
which will run all stations for as little time as 1 minute or
as much as 240 minutes . This feature is very useful upon
completion of system installation or service . To access this
function, follow these instructions .
• Turn the Dial to "Run".
• Press the "Manual/Enter portion of the key pad and
then press the "-" key located just above the words
"TEST CYCLE" on the front lower right hand side of the
controller (show an image) . Note- if you do not press
the "-" button prior to 5 seconds the manual test start
up process will have to be repeated to activate the
function .
• When the function is done correctly the lcd screen will
indicate "MANUAL", "STATION A" (for all stations), and
the default cycle duration of each station (2minutes) . To
increase or decrease test cycle station duration time,
use the "+" button or to decrease use the "-" button .
• Upon arrival at desired test cycle time, press "ENTER".
To abort test, press "CLEAR" . When the test cycle is
complete the HRC 100 C will automatically return to
your pre-set station durations and begin watering upon
next scheduled watering cycle .
Connecting a Rain Sensor
• Connect the rain sensor wires to the wiring terminal
ports (yellow in color) labeled "Sensor"
Note: Refer to your rain sensor manual for specific wiring
instructions.
• Place the sensor on/off switch to the "on" position to
begin operation (see figure 6)

Rain Sensor Bypass
This HRC 100 C is equipped with a sensor override "on/
off" switch . This switch is for use during maintenance and
repairs, so the sprinkler controller can be operated even if
the rain sensor is in active mode .
Important: If the rain sensor switch is in the "on" position
and no sensor is connected, the sprinkler controller will not
operate . To resume the HRC 100 C operation place the switch
in the off position

Pump Start & Master Valve
This sprinkler controller allows a master valve or pump start
relay to operate whenever a station is on .
Note: If you are activating a pump from this controller, you must
purchase a Pump Start Relay. From the pump start relay (or
master valve); connect one wire to the "Pump" terminal and the
other wire to the "Common" terminal.
Replacing the Battery
Controller requires a CR2032 Lithium battery
• The battery will maintain your program in case of an AC
power loss

• Battery should last approximately one year
• Open by sliding the battery tray out to the right
• Insert one CR2032 battery into the compartment with
the + side up
• Slide back into place.
A weak or missing battery can cause the time, date, and
program to be erased after a power failure . If this happens,

you will need to install a fully charged battery and reprogram
the controller .
Tip: Replace battery every year, to avoid loss of programming
Note: A battery alone will not operate the valves in your
sprinkling system. The sprinkler controller has a built-in
transformer that must be connected to an AC line voltage source.
DEFINITION
The time the program begins watering the first programmed station .
Supplies water to a specific station or area . The opening and closing of the valve is
accomplished through electrical current supplied by the sprinkler controller .
Typically located at the main water source . Turns on and off water for the entire irrigation
system when not in use .
A controller feature that allows a program to be operated multiple times on the same
watering day .
When a "Start Time" is set for a program before the previous program has completed .
Individual programs as set by the user . Each program operates independently . If one
program overlaps the other the programs will be "stacked ." After the first program
finishes the next program will begin .
A feature that postpones the running of a scheduled watering program for a specific
duration .
The electrical part on an irrigation valve that opens and closes the valve .
A device which instructs the station valves to operate .
A grouping of sprinklers operated by a single valve which is controlled by the controller .
Adjusts your overall watering program as a percentage of total watering duration .
