11.1 Device Delay Configuration
The Device Delay Configuration screen enables defining the startup and shutdown order of the irrigation process.
• On (mm:ss): On is the definition of the startup order. The set times are taken from procedure startup. The
device with the shortest time will be started first and shifted to procedure startup. Therefore it is recommended
that the device that is to be started first be set as 00:00 (automatically changes to --:--).
• Off (mm:ss): Off is the definition of the shutdown order of the irrigation process. The set times are taken from
procedure shutdown. The device with the shortest time will be stopped first and shifted to procedure
shutdown. Therefore it is recommended that the device that is to be stopped first be set as 00:00
(automatically changes to --:--).
11.1.1 Example of Device Startup & Shutdown Order
• Startup: According to the settings above, the pump will be turned on first (on procedure startup). The main
valve will be opened after 1 minute and 30 seconds later (1:30 minutes from procedure startup) the valve.
• Shutdown: According to the settings above the valve will be turned off first (on procedure shutdown). The
main valve will be closed after 15 seconds and the pump will be closed 20 seconds later (35 seconds from
procedure shutdown).
Note: It is recommended that the device that should be started (stopped) first be defined as zero
(will appear as --:--).
IN-PROGRAM DELAYS
• Shift delay (sec): Define the time (in seconds) between each valve change. The shift delay can also be a
shift advance by inserting a negative value. This means that the next valve will start before the previous one.
• Stagger delay (sec): Define the time (in seconds) for the first shift and the last shift delay between valves
(inside of group).
