Rain Bird CYCLIK Micro Programming Manual

CY CLIK™ Micro

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.

Repeatedly press until
this screen (N.11) appears with a blinking cross on the
sprinkler. Connect the transmitter to the module and
press the key to place the module in the "ON"
module. The cross will disappear. Any programmed or
manual irrigation will take place.
If you press the key, the module will be placed in
the "OFF" mode. A non-blinking cross appears on the
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.

N.11

■ MODE ON/OFF

a) Low battery in the field

transmitter

If the battery is low in the

field transmitter, this screen

(N.12) with the blinking low

battery icon will appear after

you press . Replace
the battery in the field
transmitter.
b) Low battery in the control

module

After you transmit a program

to a module or monitor a
program in a module, this screen (N.13) will
appear if the battery in the module must be replaced.

■ LOW BATTERY ICON

N.12

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)

N.14

This function erases all program data (MODE A and
MODE B) in the transmitter except current time and
day.

Press the keys simultaneously
and hold them down for at least 3
seconds.

■ 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.

Note: When operating in manual, the field transmitter and
the control module must be in the same mode (mode A or
mode B). If the field transmitter is in a different mode than
the control module, the control module will send a signal
back and will put the transmitter in the same mode as the
control module. If this happens, refer to the manual start
instructions for the mode that the control module is in.
