7. Types of scheduling
The device has two types of scheduling, which in turn have different scheduling modes:
1. BASIC: it allows valves to be scheduled separately. The scheduling modes are:
a. Days of the week: you must select the day(s) of the week on which you
want to irrigate. The start time and the irrigation, time or consumption
base are assigned. If you want to irrigate by time, the time duration will
be assigned. And if you want to irrigate by consumption, the maximum
value allowed to be used will be set. If the established consumption has
not been reached by 12:00 am, the irrigation is interrupted.
More than one start time can be assigned for the selected day(s) of the
week. The device allows loading up to a maximum of 10 start times (either
of the day of the week, interval or window scheduling mode).
NOTE: The unit volume when setting up the irrigation by consumption
must be the same as the one used when registering the device. This is the
only mode that allows to irrigate by volume [L o m
3
].
b. Intervals: you must select the start time, the duration and how many
days you want to irrigate from the day and time at which the scheduling
is done. For example, if the scheduling is done on Monday at 11:20 am,
the start time may be before or after this time. If the start time is at 10
am, then irrigation will occur on Tuesday and Thursday. But if the start
time is at 12 pm, then irrigation will take place on Monday and
Wednesday (see Figure 5).
