Programming Guide
Mode A
This mode is used to permit
watering or prevent any valve
from opening. It overrides
both manual or programmed
valve opening.

sprinkler and all irrigation, either programmed or
manual, will be prevented.This mode is useful during
rainy weather (rainy weather shutdown).The
irrigation program remains stored in the module.
Important: Make sure that the control module is in the
"ON" mode before trying to manually open a valve with the
field transmitter.

battery icon will appear after
you press . Replace
the battery in the field
transmitter.
b) Low battery in the control
module

N.13
If the transmitter is
incompatible with the control
module, the Err 1 message
will be displayed on the LCD.
These are the possible
reasons:
• New Micro 2000 field transmitter connected to a
control module with a date code prior to October 2,
2000.
• In the manual mode, the number of the station
entered to open or close a valve is higher than the
number of stations in the module.
■ERR 1 MESSAGE (N.14)

■DAILY OPERATION OF SOLENOIDS
In order to stop a potential build-up of mineral
deposits on the solenoids, Cyclik control modules will
ensure that all solenoids open and close at least once
every 24 hours, even during a long off-cycle.The Cyclik
control modules will cycle all solenoids on and off for
no more than 3 seconds, every 24 hours after the last
valve closure.Whenever programmed operation is
already opening or closing a solenoid within 24 hours,
the 3 second anti-mineral cycle will not occur.
