Programming the Controller

About the Watering Program Memory
Once programmed, the TMC-212 memory will be
retained for several years without power. Only the cur-
rent time and date information will be lost and will need
to be reset if power is interrupted from the controller for
more than 24 hours.
The TMC-212 has a default watering program that will
automatically control your sprinkler system when power is
initially applied.
If you do not wish to program the controller, you can
use the default settings. To enable the TMC-212 con-
troller to operate Automatically in real time, just set
the current time and date.
The default watering program settings are as follows:
• Program A has a Calendar watering schedule set to
water every day. Programs B and C are turned Off.
• One program start time is set for 5:00 a.m.
• Station run time is set to 10 minutes per station.
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit is On.
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit delay is two seconds.
• Well Recovery time is 0 seconds.
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit is enabled during Well
Recovery time.
• Season Adjust is 100% (neutral).
Note: The controller's programmable memory can be reset
to the default settings at any time. See "Clearing the
Program Memory" on page 36 for detailed information.
