Setup

Before installing the 572000 ACC Controller Master Module, ensure that the main ACC controller unit is completely powered off and disconnected from its power source. This prevents electrical hazards and potential damage to the components.

1. Power Disconnection: Turn off the main power to your Hunter ACC controller.
2. Locate Expansion Slot: Open the main ACC controller's housing and identify the designated expansion slot for modules. Refer to your main controller's manual for precise location.
3. Insert Module: Carefully align the 572000 module with the expansion slot and gently push it into place until it is securely seated. Ensure all connectors are properly engaged.
4. Secure Module: If applicable, secure the module with any retaining clips or screws provided with your main controller or the module itself.
5. Close Controller: Close the main ACC controller's housing.
6. Restore Power: Reconnect the main ACC controller to its power source and turn it on. The controller should detect the newly installed module.

For detailed wiring instructions for specific sensors or accessories connected to the module's terminals, consult the documentation for those devices and your main ACC controller's manual.

Operating

The Hunter 572000 ACC Controller Master Module functions as an extension of your main ACC controller. It does not have independent operational controls. All programming, scheduling, and activation of features enabled by this module are managed directly through the main ACC controller's interface.

• Module Recognition: Upon successful installation and power-up, the main ACC controller should automatically recognize the 572000 module.
• Accessing Features: New zones, sensor inputs (ET, Flow, SEN1-SEN4), or other functionalities provided by the module will become accessible within the main controller's programming menu.
• Programming: Refer to your specific ACC controller's user manual for detailed instructions on how to program and utilize the expanded capabilities offered by the 572000 module. This includes setting up sensor responses, flow monitoring, and other advanced irrigation management features.

Maintenance

The Hunter 572000 ACC Controller Master Module is designed for durability and requires minimal routine maintenance. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure its long-term performance:

• Keep Clean: Periodically inspect the module and its connections for dust, dirt, or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Check Connections: Ensure all terminal connections remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or system errors.
• Environmental Protection: Ensure the main ACC controller housing, where the module is installed, remains properly sealed to protect the module from moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight, which are beyond its operational specifications.
• Avoid Physical Impact: Protect the module from physical shocks or impacts that could damage internal components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hunter 572000 ACC Controller Master Module, follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Module Not Detected:
  • Ensure the main ACC controller is powered off before checking the module.
  • Verify the module is correctly and fully seated in its expansion slot. Remove and re-insert it firmly.
  • Check for any visible damage to the module or the controller's expansion slot.
  • Consult your main ACC controller's manual for specific module detection procedures or error codes.
• Intermittent Functionality:
  • Inspect all wiring connections to the module's terminals (ET, Flow, SEN, COM, 24VAC, P/M). Ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
  • Verify the integrity of the connected sensors or devices. Test them independently if possible.
• System Errors:
  • If the main ACC controller displays error messages related to the module, refer to the controller's manual for an explanation of the error codes and recommended solutions.
  • Ensure the module is compatible with your specific ACC controller model.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a fault with the module or the main controller. Contact Hunter Industries customer support for further assistance.
