This item quit working on two zones after 18 months. Is there a warranty?

Check your wiring, your output power at the connections in the controller when activated and your inground valve controls first.

Will a dead battery prevent the unit from turning on?

>>Will a dead battery prevent the unit from turning on?<< It should have no effect providing the mains power is plugged in and available. The battery only backs up the internal clock and programming in case of mains failure - but of course will not by itself run the sprinklers - they work on 24v anyway and the battery is only a few volts.

Good

Very easy to install and works well. The instructions should be clearer though. It does not show how to open the wiring compartment and it took me 10 minutes.

Good controller with delay option

I was looking for a sprinkler controller that would allow some time between zones and this one fit the bill! It was simple to set and gave me the extra setting I was looking for. The control display is on the small side and required my reading glasses to make sure it was set properly.. I dont know why they dont use a larger display like all the other competitors do but I guess its the price to pay for having the delay setting. I was looking for one that had the delay to allow the zone valves to fully close before the next valve opens. Overall Im pretty happy with this controller.

Simple to install, fairly easy to program

After 18 years of faithful service my old Hunter Pro-C quit displaying the numbers I needed to see to set runtimes. After looking at another Pro-C I became discouraged with the $200+ price tag so I selected this cheaper model for my home's sprinkler system.It arrived in two days and it took me about an hour to install it. It would have taken less time but I had to drill new mounting holes in the masonry --this controller is smaller than the Pro-C-- plus I had to extend the wires from the valves to reach the terminals.Ran the little test routine and everything seems to work fine. Time will tell. So far, so good.

Great timer

Good replacement for my old unit. Don't forget to remove the clear plastic tab to activate the battery backup. I lost power twice and the clock reset itself to the year 2013. I email the seller about it & he replied the next day and showed me what to do. Great customer service 👏 👌

Easy to use and efficient with the Solar Sync sensor

Really easy to setup. Just a dial and some quick settings. Only confusing thing is the start times (I advise just setting 1 time) as they are numbered the same as the # of zones, but actually the unit always runs zones 1, 2, 3, 4 regardless in that order. Start times are for running multiple times per day. Always based on the set run times. The Solar Sync module controller is built in so you can just add the sensor, connect 2 wires, and have a smart meter. I had to go to their website to set everything up as the instructions are lacking, but overall it is super simple and an easy upgrade.
