Default How many times will it water? Hunter SRC

I have seen quite a few with a mis-configured controller. In the cases I have seen it it is simply that the controller has been told to water in other programs. MY controller is a Hunter SRC. It has three programs, with four start times in each. That is possible twelve start times. Most likely you only need one. If you have one of those try this to see how many start times are setup:

At controller:
  1. Turn dial to System OFF, wait until display says OFF
  2. Turn dial to Set Watering Start Times
  3. Hit Next (right arrow) and read display for all 4 start times in this program. In the display there will be a time or it will say OFF
  4. Hit PRG button to go to next program
  5. Hit Next (right arrow) and read display for all 4 start times in this program. There In the display there will be a time or it will say OFF
  6. Hit PRG button to go to next program
  7. Hit Next (right arrow) and read display for all 4 start times in this program. There In the display there will be a time or it will say OFF
  8. Hit PRG again and you should be back to first program.

On my system I get the following
6:30, OFF, OFF, OFF
OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF
OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF

Hope that makes some sense and maybe helps find a phantom.
