4.0 Programming for Auto Adjust Watering Mode
Weathermatic’s patented Auto Adjust overrides user assigned
zone run times and calculates zone run times based on the
location of the site, inputs by zone, and weather readings from
the SLW Series On-Site Weather Station. Auto Adjust is
designed to help you protect your landscaping, reduce wasteful
run off, and minimize your water costs.
Warning: Auto Adjust positions on the dial can only
be selected when the optional SLW Series On-Site
Weather Station accessory is installed. Additionally,
Standard Program Function must be set up complete-
ly (see Sections 4.1–4.4) before setting up Auto Adjust mode.
Auto Adjust Mode zone times for zones in use simply replaces
the zone run times inputs with a calculated value.
Step 1: Set ZIP Code or Latitude
Auto Adjust operation
first requires that the
SmartLine
®
Controller
know “where in the
world” it is located.
Users in the USA can
set location by ZIP Code. Users outside of the USA can set
location by latitude. Use ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to select ZIP
Code (USA) or LATITUDE. To find your latitude, see chart of
World Latitudes on page 25.
If you are setting a ZIP Code, push NEXT. Display will show 5
numerical positions for ZIP Code settings. Use ▲ and ▼
arrow buttons to set the flashing number. Then push NEXT to
flash the next number. Use ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to set sec-
ond 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 ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to choose any latitude between
60 degrees south and 60 degrees north. 0 degrees setting is
marked as EQUATOR.
Step 2: Enter Auto Adjust Data for Zones:
Enter Auto Adjust data for zones: Sprinkler Type, Plant Type,
Soil Type, and MORE/LESS. The SmartLine
®
controller cannot
calculate run times without Auto Adjust data for each zone and
without Zone Run Times assigned to each operational zone,
which serve to back up Auto Adjust mode.
Sprinkler Type: In order
to calculate run time,
the controller must
know the expected pre-
cipitation rate for each
zone. Use NEXT and
BACK buttons to move
between zones. Use ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to set zone to
OFF or to specify the precipitation rate.
