Number of Watering Cycles Available
Programs 1, 2, and 3 can have up to 3 watering cycles each. Program 4
can have
up to 2 cycles. For example, program 1 in the sample has three
watering cycles. The first starts at 2
A.M., the second at 6 A.M., the third
at 5
P.M.
Therefore, each station in program 1 is activated three times
each day.
Overlap
Protection
The start time stacking feature on this controller will provide start time
overlap protection in the event that an error in programming or an
increased water budgeting percent creates an overlap between cycle
start times. In the event that an overlap does occur, the controller
will automatically suspend the start time until the current watering
cycle finishes.
Planning Station Placement
Each station may be used in no more than 2 programs. For example,
stations 11 and 12 are watered in programs 1 and 4, but could not be
included in a third program.
If you plan to program a delay between valve openings, be sure to
include that delay time in your watering plan. In all programs, the delay
can be from 1 second to 4 minutes. (See the section on additional
features, page 3
1,
for programming instructions.)
