Answer
Hi Probably with the outage alter the programming and set the Programable rain off feature, here the instructions to fix:

Programmable Rain Off
This feature permits the user to stop all programmed
waterings for a designated period from
1 to 7 days. At the end of the programmable rain
off period, the controller will resume normal
automatic operation.
1. Turn the dial to the SYSTEM OFF position.
Wait for OFF to be displayed.
2. Press  + or - as many times as needed to set
the number of days off desired (up to 7).
3. Turn the dial back to the AUTOMATIC position at
which time, OFF, a number and the DAYS icon
all remain on.
The days off remaining will decrease at midnight
of each day. When it goes to zero, the display will
show the normal time of day and normal irrigation
will resume at the next scheduled start time.


If you need to reset the controller the reset sw is located at the righ side of the battery and left side the SEN port, market RST.

Clearing the Controller's Memory/Resetting the Controller
If you feel you have misprogrammed the controller, there is a process
that will reset the memory to factory defaults and erase all programs
and data that has been entered into the controller.
1. Press and hold down the - right arrow  , and PRG buttons.
2. Press and release the reset button in the lower wiring compartment.
3. Release the - ,right arrow and PRG buttons. The display should now show
12:00 am. All the memory has been cleared and the controller may
now be reprogrammed.
