Pro-C® Station ERR Messages

Station # ERR Message

CAUSE - The Station # ERR (for example 1 ERR) is a diagnostic message that appears when your controller is detecting a fault on that corresponding irrigation zone.

SOLUTION - To determine the cause of this message it is necessary to follow a series of steps. Disconnect the faulting wire from the controllers screw terminal and switch it with a wire that is working. For example if zone #2 faults, disconnect the #2 wire from the controller and put it in the #1 screw terminal and put the #1 wire into the #2 screw terminal. Now try to run zone 1. If zone 1 now faults out, it is confirmed that there is a short in the wire from the controller to your zone valve, a short in the connections to the wire or at the valve solenoid itself.

You can further confirm the problem is in the original #2 wire by now trying to run zone #2. If the wire connected to screw terminal #2 now turns on our original zone #1, it is further confirmation the problem is with the original #2 wire or connections.

If the wire connections are good, the error message may indicate a bad solenoid. If you need a new solenoid, Hunter makes our products and replacement parts available through our Network of authorized distributors.

Two of the last zones in my system only ~sometimes~ have station error messages after a watering. I’m guessing there must be water causing a fault somewhere, as the error doesn’t continue or prevent future watering from happening on successive days.

I have a Hunter XC. I switched wires and it didn’t err. But it didn’t turn on either. Any idea what Is going on? Thanks

Area 2 is showing the error message on my controller. I can turn it on directly from the solanoid but the controller does not turn the area 2 on. I took of the wire and put it back on and still does not work. Any advice?

I removed all wires and the ERR message remains. I checked the resistance across each solenoid (from the controller location) each showed about 35 Ohms. I can activate each zone individually by applying power directly to the solenoid, bypassing the controller. I replaced the controller last year because the screen went blank. Now I am having this issue. That is a little bit too much headache for such a simple piece of electronics. Any advise?

I was advised to replace the controller. How do I determine if replacing the selonid valve would fix the issue instead?

[austinb]

Do I have to turn off the system before switching the wire?

I switched wire with unused zone, and error code does not appear, but zone still does not run. Please advise what could be problem. Thank you

All zones are showing ERR message. What to do now?
