Cycle and Soak
The Cycle and Soak feature allows you to split a station’s
run time into more usable, shorter watering durations. This
feature is useful when applying water to slopes and tight soils
because it automatically applies water more slowly, helping to
prevent runoff from occurring. You should enter the Cycle time
as a fraction of the station’s watering time, and the Soak time
as the minimum number of minutes required before watering
can occur again for the next Cycle. The total number of cycles
is determined by taking the total programmed station run
time and dividing it by the Cycle time.
Accessing the Cycle and Soak Menu:
The Cycle and Soak feature is accessed by placing the dial
in the RUN position, pressing and holding the + button for 3
seconds; while holding the + button rotate the dial to the RUN
TIME dial position, then release the button.
Setting the Cycle Time:
Initially Station 1 will be displayed. To access other stations,
press the ← or → button.
Once the desired station is displayed, use the + or - button to
increase or decrease the Cycle time. The user can set the time
from 1 minute to 4 hours in 1-minute increments or to OFF if no
Cycle is desired.

NOTE: Before hour, only minutes are

the display will change to include the
hour digit (e.g., : and :).
If a station’s Run Time is less than or
equal to the Cycle time, then no Cycle
will be applied.
