Hardie/Total Controller Transformer Replacement

Replacing a Failed Transformer on a Hardie (Irritrol) Controller

115V input to transformer, 0V output. Panel lights work. Suspected surge damage.

Solution

The transformer is replaceable. Hardie was acquired by Irritrol, which still manufactures the same controller (Rain Dial). Purchase a replacement transformer from any irrigation supply store (e.g., Ewing, Horizon, Sprinkler World). Match the original specs (Class 2, 24VAC).
