• biSensor not being watered by its primary zone – change the assignment or move<br />
the biSensor to the correct location<br />
• biSensor is buried too deep – rebury the biSensor to be only 3 inches deep<br />
• biSensor is buried in low area where water collects – move biSensor from low<br />
area<br />
• biSensor not being watered by its primary zone – change the assignment or move<br />
the biSensor to the correct location<br />
• Program start times are too often – increase the interval between start times<br />
• biSensor limit is too high – lower limit or run a biSensor calibration cycle (refer to<br />

Testing All Devices<br />
Before you begin troubleshooting a problem, run a Test ALL from the Self-Test dial position. This test checks all the<br />
devices on the two-wire and displays a summary screen of the results.<br />
If the test finds errors with the devices, the error count is listed for each device type. The quantity of each device<br />
type is also given in parenthesis. This test verifies communication and valve currents, biSensor readings, and other<br />
device readings, but it does not make any repairs.<br />
1. Turn the dial to the Self-Test position.<br />
2. Press the NEXT or PREV button to select Test ALL, and then press the<br />
ENTR button. The test begins. The test results display as illustrated.<br />
3. When the Test ALL is finished, turn the dial to the Auto/Run position.<br />
4. Press the NEXT button to access the messages. The messages attempt<br />
to explain the detected condition and provide some steps that can fix<br />
the most common causes of the condition.<br />
5. When you have finished viewing the test results, return the dial to the<br />
Auto Run position.<br />
As you approach problem solving situations, separate problems into the<br />
following categories:<br />
• It has never worked.<br />
• It worked before and now it does not.<br />
