4. התקנה והתקנה
- Power Off Controller: Before beginning, ensure the main power to your Hunter I-Core controller is completely disconnected. This prevents electrical shock and damage to the module or controller.
- Locate Module Slots: Open the controller's front panel. Identify the available expansion module slots within the controller. These are typically labeled.
- הכנס מודול: Carefully align the ICM600 module with an empty slot. The module is designed to fit in only one orientation. Gently push the module firmly into the slot until it is fully seated. Do not force the module.
- Connect Zone Wires: Once the module is securely in place, connect the irrigation zone wires to the corresponding terminals on the ICM600 module. Ensure each wire is stripped appropriately and securely fastened under its terminal screw. Refer to your I-Core controller's main manual for specific wiring diagrams if needed.
- החזר כוח: Close the controller's front panel and restore power to the I-Core controller. The controller should automatically detect the newly installed module.

- הקצאת אזור: The controller will assign sequential zone numbers to the new stations provided by the module.
- תִכנוּת: Access the programming menu on your I-Core controller to set start times, run times, and watering days for the newly available zones, just as you would for the controller's built-in zones.
- בּוֹחֵן: After programming, perform a manual test of each new zone to ensure proper operation of the connected valves.
6. תחזוקה
The ICM600 module requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity and reliable performance:
- בדיקה חזותית: Periodically inspect the module and its connections for any signs of corrosion, loose wires, or physical damage.
- נִקָיוֹן: Keep the controller enclosure clean and free from dust, dirt, and insects, which can interfere with electronic components.
- הגנת הסביבה: Ensure the controller and module are protected from extreme weather conditions, direct sunlight, and moisture, as specified in the I-Core controller's manual.
7. פתרון תקלות
If you encounter issues with your ICM600 expansion module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| בְּעָיָה | סיבה אפשרית | פִּתָרוֹן |
|---|---|---|
| Module not detected by controller | Module not fully seated; power not cycled; faulty module. | Disconnect power, re-seat the module firmly, then restore power. If issue persists, contact Hunter support. |
| New zones not activating | Incorrect wiring; zone not programmed; faulty solenoid; module issue. | Verify zone wiring connections. Check controller programming for the new zones. Test the solenoid at the valve. If the module has an indicator light for the zone, a אור אדום typically indicates a wiring fault or short circuit on that zone. |
| Controller displays error related to module | Module malfunction; communication error. | Power cycle the controller. If the error persists, try moving the module to a different slot (if available) or contact Hunter technical support. |
