Automatic Circuit Breaker

The TEMPUS controller features an electronic circuit breaker which automatically

detects an overload condition on a station terminal during operation and turns o the

station before controller damage can occur. The TEMPUS controller advances to the

next programmed station in sequence to continue the watering cycle.When a station

is found short circuited, INFO-SHORT CIRC will be displayed while in automatic

operation mode.

Run an electric test to verify current wiring conditions. When all station numbers

are displayed as short circuited, the master valve is malfunctioning. When a short

circuited station is found and is no longer short circuited, the INFO-SHORT CIRC is

removed.

Important: The most common cause of an overload condition is a short circuit in the

valve wiring or a malfunctioning valve solenoid. The cause of the overload condition

should be corrected before continuing to operate the controller.
