Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the controller away from the receiver.
• Plug the controller into a different outlet so that controller and receiver are
on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television

Introduction......................................................
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Industries Incorporated PSC-Z
Controller. To help you become accustomed to the PSC-Z's
operation, we have divided this manual into five easy to
understand sections:
Section One lists the key OPERATING FEATURES of the PSC-Z.
See page 4.
Section Two describes the PSC-Z DISPLAY and gives you a quick
definition of each button's operation. See page 5.
Section Three is the QUICK START section, outlining the four
basic steps in programming your PSC-Z. Use this section to
initially set up your PSC-Z for automatic watering. See page 6.
Section Four gives detailed definitions of each button, and
describes details of PROGRAMMING your PSC-Z controller.
See page 8.
Section Five is a guide to TROUBLESHOOTING the PSC-Z
controller. See page 13.
The Hunter PSC-Z Professional Series Controller makes home
landscape irrigation easy and fun. Hunter is well-known in the
professional irrigation industry for innovative designs and quality
products. Now the Hunter name is available in controllers with
the PSC-Z—carefully engineered for simple use and sophisticated
results. With the touch of a button, you can set up complex
programs that meet all your watering needs.

•Watering begins 2 seconds after you select the station.
•While the program is running, you can temporarily adjust the cycle
time for any station. The change does not affect your programs.
•Program B is initially set as a test program. Manually run Program
B to cycle once through each station for one minute.
EXAMPLE: It's been hot and dry. You want to run an entire extra
program this evening without changing scheduled watering. Press
ALL STATIONS.

•Time is rounded to the nearest whole minute; cycle time cannot be
reduced to less than one minute.
•To observe the change in cycle time, select the station before
adjusting the cycle time.
EXAMPLE: It’s been an exceptionally hot and dry month. You don’t
want to reset your programs for a single month. Instead, increase all
watering (both programs) to 130 percent of normal by pressing
three times. Next month, return to normal watering by pressing

A rain sensor can be connected to the PSC-Z to turn the
controller off when an appropriate amount of rain is measured.
The controller display then appears as shown:
•The sensor connects directly
to the controller. When the
sensor is activated, you can
easily override the sensor
and water manually simply
by pressing ONE STATION or ALL STATIONS.

SOLUTION
•Check valve and valve
wiring (and valve
common).
•Check pump and
pump relay. Replace
if defective.
•Verify AC power and
wiring.
•Press any button
•Reprogram controller
•Reconnect the jumper
between the rain
sensor terminals of
the terminal block
•Verify operation of
rain sensor. Replace
if defective (reinstall
jumper until new rain
sensor is installed)
•Disconnect the jumper
(jumper should be
disconnected when
using a rain sensor)
•Verify operation of
sensor and proper
wiring
•To reset the
controller to default
program values,
insert screw driver
into the reset slot on
the faceplate (near
the terminal block)
•Press END/CANCEL
to remove error
message and check
for shorts in station
field wiring
CAUSE
•Faulty or mis-wired
valve
•Faulty pump or pump
relay if used
•No AC power and no
backup battery
installed (or dead
battery)
•Unit is initially
powered up
•Extended power
outage has occurred
and built-in backup
period has expired
•If you are not using a
rain sensor:
The jumper between
the sensor terminal is
missing or loose
•If you are using a rain
sensor:
the sensor has been
activated by moisture
or is stuck "open"
•Jumper between
sensor terminals is
still connected
•Rain sensor is
defective or mis-
wired
•This is due to the
built-in backup
•An error occurred the
last time station tried
to water
