CONVERTING PROGRAMS TO HydroSectors™: (inc. setting Master Start Times)

This converts a standard

program to a HydroSector

HydroSector™ STEPS:

1. Check the current station/valve wiring within the [TWO-WIRE] then [>] [Assign

Valves] menu. When using HydroSectors, stations should be wired sequentially. For ex-

ample, a typical system may be set up as follows: HydroSector 1 using stations 1—10,

HydroSector 2 using stations 11—20 and so on.

2. Enter the precipitation rate for each HydroSector™. This is done within [SYSTEM SET-

TINGS]. Up to 8 precipitation rates can be set (for each HydroSector).

3. Scroll to [PROGRAMS] then [>] before selecting [HydroSector Prg], then press Enter.

4. Set the number of matches precipitation zones required with the ON/OFF button. This

will convert standard programs into HydroSectors. For example, if there are 3 zones with

matched precipitation, assign programs 1, 2 and 3 as HydroSectors (see below).

5. Select master start-times for HydroSectors—up to 4 start-times can be selected.

6. Enable auto-programming (see next page).

7. Within auto-programming, assign stations to each HydroSector. For example, HydroSec-

tor 1: Stations 1—5. Then [>] … HydroSector 2: Stations 6—9.

8. Select the required mm per HydroSector. Press ON/OFF to switch between viewing time

and mm. Press [>] to select next HydroSector. Finally press ENTER.

9. Initial HydroSector setup is now complete. To accept master start times and watering

days, scroll to [PROGRAM] [>] [Enter Program]
