To load a 9-volt battery into a Hunter X-Core controller:

1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Insert the battery in the correct direction.
3. Ensure the battery is fully seated by gently pulling one side out to allow it to fit properly.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
5. Slide the cover upwards until it is securely in place.
6. Reinstall and tighten the screw, but do not over-tighten.
7. Reinstall the bottom cover by aligning it and sliding it upwards until it locks.
8. Remove the battery contact insulator to activate the battery.

The battery helps retain time and settings during a power outage and allows remote programming without AC power.

Why won’t manual watering work

Mr. Anderson
March 17, 2025

Manual watering on the Hunter X-Core may not work due to an issue with the controller itself. The automatic RUN mode functions correctly, indicating that the wiring, voltage, and valves are not the problem. The controller has already been reset without success, suggesting an internal malfunction. Additionally, ensuring that the dial is in the correct RUN position is necessary for proper operation.

I have 2 stations operating in the x-core controller. I have previously eliminated programs to the off position to clear. Both stations are now operating at the same time on the first station. How to fix? Thanks

To fix simultaneous operation of two stations on a Hunter X-Core controller, insert a delay between stations. This prevents one station from starting before the previous one has finished. To set the delay:

1. Turn the dial to the "Run" position.
2. Press and hold the "+" and "–" buttons for 5 seconds.
3. The display will show the delay time.
4. Use the "+" or "–" buttons to set the desired delay between stations.

This ensures stations run one after the other, not at the same time.
