Options 11 thru 16: Disable Master Valve/Pump
Start Circuit
Options 11 thru 16 are used to disable the master valve/pump start circuit dur-
ing operation of a program. Option numbers correspond to program numbers
with option #11 corresponding to program 1, option #12 corresponding to pro-
gram 2, and so on.
To disable the master valve/pump start circuit during operation of a program:
1. Turn dial to Options position.
2. Key in option number that corresponds to desired program.
3. Press Manual On/Off key. The display will indicate “On" followed by the
option number
To cancel the option, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3. Display will indicate “Of" followed
by the option number (Of = OFF).
Using A Sensor To Activate Program 6
A “normally open” sensor device such as thermostat, can be used to activate
watering in Program 6.
To use this feature, connect the sensor device to the sensor terminals of the con-
troller. The only programming required is to set the station watering times of the
stations to be included in Program 6 (step 4 of Basic Programming Instructions).
When the sensor switch closes, a watering cycle is initiated in Program 6 after the
switch has remained closed for 30 seconds. If the sensor contacts open before
completion of the cycle, the controller will finish the cycle in progress. If, at the
end of the cycle, the sensor switch remains closed for an additional 30 seconds,
the cycle is repeated.
Optional Frost Override Cycle: Option 8 is used to alter the operation of the
controller when Program 6 is activated by a sensor switch. (See instructions for
activating Option 8, page 27.) With Option 8 activated, Program 6 starts imme-
diately upon closure of the sensor switch and all other programs are disabled.
