- Asignación de zonas: The controller will assign sequential zone numbers to the new stations provided by the module.
- Programación: 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.
- Proba: After programming, perform a manual test of each new zone to ensure proper operation of the connected valves.
6. Mantemento
The ICM600 module requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity and reliable performance:
- Inspección visual: Periodically inspect the module and its connections for any signs of corrosion, loose wires, or physical damage.
- Limpeza: Keep the controller enclosure clean and free from dust, dirt, and insects, which can interfere with electronic components.
- Protección ambiental: 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 Solución de problemas

| 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 luz vermella 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. |
