Hunter EC Controller Programming Confusion: Programs vs. Stations

The Hunter EC uses Programs A, B, C—not station numbers—for scheduling. Each program has its own start times, water days, and station run times. Confusion arises when trying to assign "start time to station 2."

Correct Workflow

1. Select Program A (switch to A).
2. Set Station Run Times: Station 2 = desired minutes; others = 0/OFF.
3. Set Start Time(s) for Program A (e.g., 6:00 AM).
4. Set Water Days for Program A (e.g., Mon/Thu).
5. Repeat for Program B/C if different schedules needed.

Key Points

• Stations don't have individual start times—programs do.
• One start time runs ALL stations with non-zero times in that program sequentially.
• To run only station 2: set its run time in Program A, set others to 0, give Program A one start time.

Reset Procedure

If truly stuck: Turn dial OFF, hold ← and → arrows (or specific combo per manual) for 10 sec until "RESET" appears. Reprogram from scratch.
