To create and use SSGs: In order to create and use 
SSGs, the controller must first be placed into the 
SSG/Smartstack mode.
1.  Turn the dial to the Set Program Overlap Options 
position.
2.  Use the +/- buttons to select SSG/SmartStack.
3.  Turn the dial to any other position to save the setting.
4.  Hold down the Information button, and turn the dial 
back to the Set Program Overlap Options position.
5.  Release the Information button, and the SSG Setup 
screen will appear.
6. 
The first possible SSG will be presented as STA GRP 
01, and will display 4 rows (dashed lines in a new 
installation, station numbers if they have already 
been programmed). Each line is for a station that can 
become a member of the SSG.
7.  Use the down arrow to go to the first dashed line (or 
existing station number).
8.  Use the +/- buttons to select a station number. Once 
a station has been assigned to an SSG, it is no longer 
available for other SSGs, and will not appear as one 
of the choices while pressing + or – in other SSGs. 
Once a station has been programmed into an SSG, 
this station will no longer be available individually as 
a single station outside of the SSG. If a station in an 
SSG is viewed individually in the Station Run Times 
position, the run time will be filled with asterisks 
(**:**:**)  and the screen will show the SSG to 
which the station belongs, instead. No run time may 
be entered for an SSG station individually. If a station 
has an individual run time in a program, that station 
will not be able to be programmed into an SSG. 
While entering stations into an SSG, the stations that 
already have a programmed run time will be skipped 
over, and the only stations with no run time will be 
shown.
9. 
Use the down arrow to go to the next station line, to 
add another station to the SSG.
10.  Include 2, 3, or 4 stations in the SSGs as needed. (It 
is possible to create an SSG of only 1 station, but this 
defeats the purpose of the SSG- single stations may 
be mixed in a program with SSGs, as long as they are 
not SSG members.)
11. 
When the SSG is complete, you can create another 
SSG without exiting the dial position.
12.  Use the up arrow to move back to the STA GRP 
location.
13.  Press +/- to select another STA GRP number.
14.  Continue to add stations and create SSGs until all 
desired groups are created and populated.
15.  Turn the dial to any other position to save. The SSG 
groups that you have programmed can be found 
within the “Set Station Run Times” position after 
the last station number in the controller, or by going 
backwards from station 1. The same is true for the 
“Manual Operation” dial position (the SSG groups 
will be found after the highest-numbered individual 
station). 
You may run a station individually, even if it has been 
programmed in an SSG, by selecting the “One Station” 
manual in the Manual Operation dial position, and then 
selecting the specific station you would like to run. 
You may also run a station individually that has been 
programmed in an SSG by using a remote control.
