Upper Threshold Moisture Sensor-Based Watering
Step 4 – Assign the biSensor Zones to a Program
Put all zones that you want to water with the upper threshold strategy into one program by giving them
runtimes.
1. Press the Program Setup button. The Program Setup menu displays.
2. If the program that you are setting up to water based on biSensor readings displays in the upper-left
corner of the screen, continue to step 3. Otherwise, press the PRG button until the program that
you want to modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Note: To move backwards in the list of programs, press and hold the PRG button, and then press the
– button repeatedly.

highlight it, and then press the OK button. The Zone Runtimes screen displays. Zones are identified
with a sequential number and by the serial number of the attached biCoder.
Note: Make sure the runtime is sufficient to get through the longest day interval during the hottest
time of the year (typically ¾ inch of water).

highlighted.
 To move to the hour placeholder, press the

Step 5 – Setting Up the Day & Time Start Condition for the Program
In the BaseStation 1000, a program is not active until you select a start condition for it. When you are
using an upper threshold watering strategy, the program associated with the moisture sensor must have
a day and time start condition.
1. Press the Program Setup button. The Program Setup menu displays.
2. If the program that you are setting up to water based on biSensor readings displays in the upper-left
corner of the screen, continue to step 3. Otherwise, press the PRG button until the program that
you want to modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Note: To move backwards in the list of programs, press and hold the PRG button, and then press the
– button repeatedly.
3. Press the

button to highlight the Setup Prg. Start option, and then press the OK button. The Setup
Prg. Start screen displays the list of start conditions.
Note: If you want the controller to display a message whenever a program starts, refer to Enabling
Start, Pause, and Stop Messages in the BaseStation 1000 User Manual.
