    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    Thanks for all your help... got those voltage readings from when I did the test... oddly both the 9v battery and the 24v supply read 6.8v... will see if I can contact weathermatic now. Thanks again. Jim

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    Hooked up one of the valves (tested it first against the test port... worked fine) to the MVP port and it came back with the same error. Cleared the error as per the manual, re-tested and it gave the same error. Ran the reset procedure and tried again... same error. forgot to note the voltages...

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    ok, just tried the reset routing again.. still says the same, MVP SHORT. When I go to the other section where you set the zones it just says "0 zones" so there is no option to set on or off. This is certainly proving to be more of a challenge than I expected. Any other ideas before I purchase...

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    Thanks, I will do what you said in the morning. Don't worry about the wiring, I just did it like that to show how it is connected. It is like this just to get it working and I will do the job properly and weatherproof and seal it up once it is confirmed working (you should've seen the wiring...

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    Here are the pics as promised: I tried taking the power away (and the battery) and reconnecting. It still gives MVP SHORT error. I hooked it all up as above (sorry for the messy wiring, I aim to fix it when it is all working... I did test every connection with the meter though). If you...

    Thanks for the reply... I will post a pic shortly. I did try the factory reset using up/down/reset but I will try your method now. Thanks again, will be back with pics soon :)

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    ok, I have done more research and as far as I can see the COM port is the common neutral, which needs to go to each solenoid. The other wire on each solenoid then must go to one of the 4 ports in the controller. I have nothing going into the MV/P port at all, but as far as I can see I...

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    Not that I am aware of, although the system seems to think so. The instructions seem particularly vague in this area so please feel free to correct me. Thanks for the reply. Jim

    Weathermatic 1600 confusion

    This is South Africa... there have been a lot of power cuts/surges which have affected other electrical devices (pool pump motor etc). Could this have affected the SL1600 at all, and if so which area would likely be affected? I'd have thought the transformer would have been the victim, but the 2...
