LogicPLUS-S Installation “Do’s & Don’ts” For Warranty To Be Valid, Installation Must Comply To All Instructions Below 1. Use only LP-RP Receivers (Gray Molded Box) with the LogicPLUS-S Controllers (LP-42, LP- 128 and Uni-2 Plus). DO NOT use the L-RP (Black Molded Box) Receivers with the Logic PLUS-S Controllers. Do not use the LP-RP (Gray Box) Receiver with the Logic 1, Logic 2, Logic 3 or Uni-2 Controller. 2.
INSTALLING THE LogicPLUS-S Mounting the controller...........When selecting the controller installation location, make sure controller and all related wiring is a minimum of 15 feet from any high voltage control boxes, pumps or any high voltage equipment. This irrigation controller is a computer and should be installed accordingly. When mounting the LogicPLUS-S indoors, notice the “keyhole” shaped mounting slot as well as 2 mounting holes on the back of the controller.
PROGRAMMING THE LogicPLUS-S 42 and LogicPLUS-S 128 CONTROLLERS The LogicPLUS-S Controllers are so easy to program because the four sets of black up/down arrow buttons correspond to whatever is directly above them in the display. You can toggle between ON and OFF, set hours, minutes, and seconds, or even select program numbers, valve numbers, and start times simply by using these up/down buttons located directly under their functions.

Position 5 | | Total Run Times | | Position 5 To review the total run time in a specific program, use set 1 to choose the program number. The total run time of that specific program is shown in the lower right hand position of the display. You can review the water budget setting along with the total run time in this position. If the water budget is changed from the default 100% the total run times will change in this position, but in position 2, the valve run times will stay inputted.
Position 6 | | Calendar | | Function Button Odd-Even Position 6 The calendar is the third leg of the Diamond Setting. After programming the run times and the start times, the calendar will automatically establish the minimum calendar period. You can manually change the calendar to any desired period, longer than the minimum “Auto-calendar” period, but not shorter.
Position 6 | | Calendar | | Function Button Odd-Even Note: The calendar automatically resets all programs to Day 1, today, when “Master Clear” is activated. The calendar automatically resets to today, Day 1, when any value in “Calendar” is changed. The calendar can be manually changed to any day including today in Position 5, “Total Run Time.” Day value has to be equal to or less than “calendar” number of days. Except when using a Seven day Calendar, Display will show day of the week. (Example) SUN.
Position 7 | | Looping Program No. 6 | | Function Button- Security Password Position 7 Any valve run times and start times set in program 6 can be looped if desired. There must be individual run times for each desired valve and ONE start time in program 6 for looping to be activated. Use set 3 and set 4 to establish the total amount of loop time desired. Use set 2 to turn looping feature ON or OFF.
Position 7 | | Looping Program No. 6 | | Function Button- Security Password Note: Program 6 can be sensor activated, such as a temperature sensor.

Set 3 can be used to exit prior to clearing program. Note: By clearing the program all information for that program is deleted.
Position 11 | | Rain Delay Sensors / Sensor Auto / ON / OFF | | Position 11 Days of Delay: Use Set 1 to select the number of days to delay watering (the controller will not run for the number of days set). The new day starts at midnight. Auto: Use set 4 to turn ON or OFF the Automatic watering schedule. Use this setting when programming receivers or when no watering is required for extended periods of time. The Semi and Manual Functions in Dial position 10 can still be used.
Position 12 | | Run Program Receivers | | Current Monitoring Features Position 12 In the “Run” position the controller will execute all that it has been instructed to do. Adding new or changing existing information can be done at anytime, even with a program running. As soon as the dial is rotated and new instructions are input, the controller will interrupt any on going activity and accept the new instructions. When the dial is returned to the “Run” position scheduled activity will resume.
LogicPLUS-S Receiver Programming Instructions When programming a receiver with a controller that is installed with the field wires connected: 1. Set the controller in the OFF position. Turn the rotary switch to position 11 (Rain Off/Auto On/Off) use the top right arrow key set 4 to turn the setting from ON to OFF. This will stop any program that is running and prevent any form starting while programming receivers. 2. Disconnect the field wires. 3. Set the Rotary switch to the “Run” position. Position 12.
Programmable Receiver Number Identification Tags Hit Products has developed a user friendly, flexible means to identify the number of the field programmed receivers during the receiver programming process. Inside every box of programmable receivers, you will find one set of identification tags numbered 1-128. You will use these receiver identification tags as follows: 1. Every time a receiver is programmed, find the corresponding numbered identification tag and immediately attach to receiver.
DIAMOND SETTINGS The DS, as we call it, is an automatic calendar setting after run times and start times are entered. The DS will set the minimum days of the irrigation calendar. This is to protect against overlapping within a program. After initial programming of the LogicPLUS-S, run times and start times, the DS will not allow you to enter additional run times or increase the budget so that it will exceed the current calendar days set.
Two Wire Operation Controller Operation When the controller is activated by either “Auto” programming or a “Manual” Input, the power plus an encoded signal is supplied to the four field Outputs. Receiver Operations The Receiver operates as an electronically controlled switch. When the receiver recognizes the encoded signal that matches its programmed data, it then allows or “switches” power to the solenoid at the valve.
VALVE WIRING The field wiring from the controller to the receivers consists of either one, two, three or four, 2-wire runs, which connect, in series, to each valve location. Each 2-wire run is totally independent of the other relative to wire size requirements and the number of valves operating simultaneously. All four 2-wire runs receive and output the exact same information.
