select ZIP Code (USA) or LATITUDE. To find your latitude, see
chart of World Latitudes on page 28.
If you are setting a ZIP Code, push NEXT. Display will show 5
numerical positions for ZIP Code settings. Use UP and DOWN
buttons to set the flashing number. Then push NEXT to flash the
next number. Use UP and DOWN buttons to set second number.
Continue process until all 5 numbers of your ZIP Code are set.
If you are outside the USA, you will enter LATITUDE. You can
use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose any latitude between
60 degrees south and 60 degrees north. 0 degrees setting is
marked as EQUATOR.
5.2 Enter Smart Data for Zones
Enter SMART data for zones: Sprinkler Type, Plant Type, Soil
Type, and MORE/LESS. The SmartLine® controller cannot
calculate run times without SMART data for each zone and
without Zone Run Times assigned to each operational zone,
which serve to back up SMART mode.
5.2.1 Sprinkler Type:
In order to calculate run time,
the controller must know the
expected precipitation rate
for each zone. Use NEXT
and BACK buttons to move
between zones. Use UP and
DOWN buttons to set zone
to OFF or to specify the
precipitation rate.
Precipitation rate
can be entered two
ways: by sprinkler
type or by specific
precipitation rate. If
you do not know the
specific precipitation
rate for the zone,
you can select the
sprinkler type, or
watering equipment used on that zone: Spray, Rotor, Drip,
or Bubbler irrigation. The SmartLine® controller will apply a
default precipitation rate for the sprinkler type selected. If you
know the specific precipitation rate expected for the zone, as
stated by the sprinkler manufacturer, you can use the UP and
DOWN buttons to scroll past the sprinkler types and select that
number. For USA users, inches per hour will be displayed (.2
to 3.0 inches per hour). Numeric precip rate resolution is 0.01
in/hr below the 2.0 in/hr setting. For international users, the
controller will display precipitation numbers in centimeters per
hour. As a rule in SMART mode, the lower the precipitation rate
entered, the longer the zone run time will be to achieve required
plant life needs. For zones selected to use set Zone Run Times
rather than SMART run times, select STD setting Sprinkler Type.
Program features and operations are supported with STD zones,
including Run/Soak, and STD zones may run within SMART
programs or separately.
