TERM DEFINITION
START TIME The time the program begins watering the first programmed station.
VALVE
Supplies water to a specific station or area. The opening and closing of the valve is
accomplished through electrical current supplied by the sprinkler controller.
MASTER VALVE
Typically located at the main water source. Turns on and off water for the entire irrigation
system when not in use.
MULTIPLE
START TIMES
A controller feature that allows a program to be operated multiple times on the same
watering day.
OVERLAPPING PROGRAMS When a “Start Time” is set for a program before the previous program has completed.
PROGRAM
(A, B, OR C)
Individual programs as set by the user. Each program operates independently. If one
program overlaps the other the programs will be “stacked.” After the first program
finishes the next program will begin.
RAIN DELAY
A feature that postpones the running of a scheduled watering program for a specific
duration.
SOLENOID
The electrical part on an irrigation valve that opens and closes the valve.
SPRINKLER CONTROLLER
A device which instructs the station valves to operate.
STATION
A grouping of sprinklers operated by a single valve which is controlled by the controller.
WATERING BUDGETING
Adjusts your overall watering program as a percentage of total watering duration.
Section 5: Reference
• Battery should last approximately one year
• Open by sliding the battery tray out to the right
• Insert one CR2032 battery into the compartment with
the + side up
• Slide back into place.
A weak or missing battery can cause the time, date, and
program to be erased after a power failure. If this happens,
you will need to install a fully charged battery and reprogram
the controller.
Tip: Replace battery every year, to avoid loss of programming
Note: A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling
system. The sprinkler controller has a built-in transformer that
must be connected to an AC line voltage source.
