Installation and Operation Manual
Page 15
NOTE
: The manual zone will begin watering immediately and will cause any other
watering activity to be postponed until the manual zone is finished. The manual watering
for the zone can be terminated by pressing the
Manual Stop
soft key. If you rotate the
knob to another zone and start it manually, the added zone will run in its turn. Multiple
manual zone starts can thus be stacked but a given zone can appear in the list only once.
Manual zone starts take priority over manual program starts and manual program starts
take priority over scheduled program starts. Any postponed activity will return to
automatic run mode after all manually started zones have finished. The run time for
manually started zones is the manual run time programmed in the zone setup. Manual
zone watering for multiple zones uses the same flow control settings as does the normal
scheduled program watering.
Controller Programming (advanced)
Soak Cycle
NOTE
: This option provides advanced control of the irrigation, and is not required for the
controller to operate.
A Soak Cycle is used for hillsides or slopes to avoid surface runoff by watering for a short
period of time, stopping and allowing the water to soak in, then continuing another short
period of time until the total zone run time is satisfied. A soak cycle consists of two parts:
a maximum on time and a minimum off time.
1. Use the
+
or
-
Adjust Value
buttons to select
which zone you want to run in soak cycle.
2. Press
Next
to move to the maximum time on
field and press the
+
or
-
Adjust Value
buttons to
set the maximum on time.
3. Repeat for the minimum time off field.
The Acclima SC24/36 has advanced multiple zone watering functions. If a zone is in a
soak cycle and another zone is scheduled to follow, the controller will initiate irrigation in
the following zone during the soak cycle "Off" period. The "Off" time period will
automatically increase to allow the following zone to complete its irrigation cycle before
control returns to the soak cycle zone.
Flow Management
NOTE
: This option provides advanced control of the irrigation, and is not required for the
controller to operate.
The Acclima SC24/36 is equipped with an advanced Flow Management System. The
controller incorporates simultaneous multiple zone watering to automatically optimize the
total water flow from your water source. This feature minimizes your overall irrigation
time, makes it possible to 'get through' your watering schedule on larger, more complex
properties, and provides uniform loading on pumps.
