X Core Controller
This entry-level residential controller offers simple operation with “smart” Solar Sync compatibility. With easy-to-configure control for up to 8 stations, including 3 programs and 4 start times each, the X-Core is the perfect solution for residential applications. Plug in the revolutionary Solar Sync ET sensor and the X-Core is converted into a “smart controller,” that regulates irrigation runtimes based on locally measured weather. X-Core is also compatible with Hunter remotes for quick, wireless activation of irrigation. Installation, operation and maintenance are designed to be simple while still delivering optimal efficiency or reliability.
Features
- Number of stations:
- 2, 4, 6, or 8 (fixed models)
- Solar Sync™ accessory saves water based on local weather conditions
- Built-in key lock on outdoor models protects against vandalism
- 3 flexible programs with 4 start times each and up to 4-hour run times
- QuickCheck™ provides simple diagnostics of faulty field wiring
- Hide Programs setting shows 1 program and 1 start time for simplification
- Suspend irrigation up to 99 days during the off-season
- Short-circuit protection detects wiring faults and skips the station without system damage
- Easy Retrieve™ memory backs up the full irrigation schedule
- Delay Between Stations for slow-closing valves or pump recharge
- Cycle and Soak prevents water waste and runoff in areas with elevation changes or tight soils
- Seasonal adjustment for quicker schedule adjustments without changing run times
Advanced Features:
Easy Retreive Memory: A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory.
Programmable Rain Delay: The Programmable Rain Delay feature enables a user-specified number of days to keep the controller in the OFF mode, following a local rain storm. This will prevent watering during inclement weather, and reverts to automatic scheduled irrigation once the delay period elapses.
Quick Check: The QuickCheck feature makes field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. QuickCheck displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.
Non-Volaatile Memory: This feature offers protection against unreliable power, retaining current time, date, and program data.
Seasonal Adjustment: This feature allows for quick adjustment to irrigation run times based on seasonal weather conditions.
- Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller's Programs.
- Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET Sensor, the controller has the ability to automatically implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
Delay Between Stations: Users can program a delay between stations as the controller advances from one station to the next. This delay can range from a few seconds (to permit slow-closing valves additional time to close) to a much longer period of time (to allow pressure tanks time to recharge), based on user requirements.
Sensor Programmability: The ability to specify which program will be shut down in response to a specific sensor alarm. This allows programs unaffected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.
