Event Pause
NOTE
: This option provides advanced control of the irrigation, and is not required for the
controller to operate.
Event Pause enables the system to pause operations for up to 6 scheduled events. This

suspended without turning off the system or adjusting the programs (risking forgetting to
restore it).

day the event begins, and the Duration, how long the even will last.
