Question
I have an Irritrol KD6 KwikDial Controller that appears to power itself off and lose memory each time it attempts to run.  Able to manually run stations, but screen randomly flashes during process.  Occasionally says Fuse but no consistent zone.  Unplugged for 45 mins & tried reset with no change.  No lose wires.  Any thoughts?

Answer
The fuse message means a faulty selenoid if no zone # its has to to with the master valve (back flow), Check the selenoids: disconnect the selenoid from the wires and measure the ohms, a good selenoid should reads 20-60ohms. Below 20ohms or more than 60ohms replace the selenoid.
You can reset the controller:

Connect 揜eset?contact momentarily
with the tip of a flat bladed screwdriver.
The display will blink; controller is reset
to default program. See page 3 on the manual.
