PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS......................................................................................
A watering program can be created to operate
valves in numerical sequence one at a time. To
create a watering program:
1. Select a program (A, B, or C) by pressing
the
button on the controller (it is
recommended to start with Program A).
2. Set a program start time (only one program
start time is required to activate a watering
program).
3. Set the run time for each valve assigned to
the program, and
4. Set the days that you would like the
watering program to run.
We have included an example that will better
illustrate the operation of a program:
Let’s say you have a program start time set for
6:00 a.m. Stations 1 and 2 are going to have a
run time of 15 minutes and station 3 is set for
20 minutes. Please note that stations 4, 5, etc.
have not been included in this program, we will
water them on separate programs.
At 6:00 a.m. the controller will activate the
watering cycle. The sprinklers on station 1
will run for 15 minutes and then shut off. The
controller will automatically advance to station
2 sprinklers. These sprinklers will also run for
15 minutes and then shut off. Then, watering
on station 3 will begin. The sprinklers will turn
on for 20 minutes and shut off. Since no times
were programmed for stations 4, 5, etc. the
controller skips them. This will conclude the
program and end the water cycle at 6:50 a.m.
As shown in the above example, only one program start time was required to run the three
different stations. The controller automatically moves to the next station without the need for
additional start times.
We realize that many consumers will have variations in their plant watering needs, so at Hunter we
equipped the Pro-C with three different programs A, B, and C. These programs are independent
of each other. However, no two programs can run at the same time. The Pro-C will automatically
stack any programs that overlap.
