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 permanent (default) watering program
that will automatically control your sprinkler system when
power is lost.
The default 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 set for 5:00 a.m.
• Station time set to 10 minutes per station
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit is On.
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit delay is 2 seconds
• Well Recovery time is 0 seconds.
• Pump Start/Master Valve circuit is enabled during Well
Recovery time.
• Season Adjust is 100%
If you do not wish to program the controller, you can
use the default settings as is. To enable the TMC-212
controller to operate Automatically in real time, set
the current time, day and date.
Note: The controller's programmable memory can be reset
to the default settings at any time. See "Clearing the Pro-
gram Memory" on page 36 for detailed information.
