5.0 Manual Start Functions
The SmartLine
®
controller has two dial positions for manual sys-
tem starts:
Manual Zone
Manual Zone allows
user to water a single
zone for specified peri-
od of time. Use NEXT
and BACK buttons to
select zone. Use ▲ and
▼ arrows to select run
time for the zone. A zone can be operated with the Manual
Zone function regardless of whether the zone has an assigned
run time. You must return dial to RUN for Manual Zone opera-
tion to begin. All manual watering operations will override
watering day settings, omit settings, and rain/freeze events.
Manual Test
The Manual Test can
be used to set a test
run time for all zones
which have an
assigned zone run
time in any program.
Any zone without an
assigned zone run time will NOT run in the Manual Test. Use
▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to set Manual Test run time. The
Manual Test can be set to run a minimum of 10 seconds or a
maximum of 10 minutes. You must return dial to RUN for
Manual Test operation to begin.
The Manual Test will also detect open circuits (less than 30 mA
draw) on any used zone or a short on any output (master valve
or zone). If the display indicates FAULT when the dial is in the
Manual Test position, refer to Advanced Functions procedures
to identify the fault.
In addition to manual operation using Manual Zone and
Manual Test, you can run a program by pressing and holding
the ▲ arrow button, also labeled RUN MANUAL PROGRAM.
Be sure to use the PGM button to select the specific program
you choose to run manually. RUN MANUAL PROGRAM can
be stopped by pressing the UP arrow button or moving the
dial out of the RUN position. If you push the RUN MANUAL
PROGRAM button and press and hold down for 15 seconds,
the selected program will operate in a continuous loop. In
other words, it will keep running the program continuously
until the dial is switched to SYSTEM OFF. This feature is only
operable in the Standard mode.
All manual watering operations will override watering day set-
tings, omit settings, and rain/freeze events.
