Controller Setup
When you start up a brand new VSX controller,
or if you have erased the controller memory
and are reprogramming from scratch, you must
set up some basic operating information first.

show “Pause Watering?”
Press the OPTIONS button again. The display
will show “List FC Settings?”
Press ENTER. The display will automatically

Time: On start up, this may be incorrect, but it
will show the time of day that VSX thinks it is.
Date: On start up, this may be incorrect, but it

thinks it is.
Size: This will show how many stations the
VSX can operate, and in conventional systems
it will either be 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60. You may
expand the VSX controller hardware in incre-

mum of 60 stations. In decoder systems, the
Size will always be 103.

to 60 Hz (Hertz). Many international systems
are set to 50 Hz. If you are not sure which
