Troubleshooting a sprinkler system
My house came with an older sprinkler system. The control box is a
Rainbird CRC-6. I used it earlier this summer with no problems. But two weeks ago my controller just displays the number "8". No buttons work or anything. I disconnected the power but when I connected it again I got the same thing. I checked the connections on the station valves, and they seemed solid, although there is a lot of mud caked in where the wires are joined. I found a PDF manual off of Rainbirds site but it was no help. Does anyone have any ideas? |
Troubleshooting a sprinkler system
I don't know that particular model, but if it has an internal battery,
you could get strange symptoms when the battery dies. Rainbird is pretty good about giving advice when you call them. Mike Hostetler wrote: My house came with an older sprinkler system.
