Season Adjust % Feature
Note: The Rain Delay and Season Adjust % features
modify controller operation only and do not alter the con-
troller's programmable memory.
The Season Adjust % feature enables the station time of
all stations (assigned to a watering program) to be simul-
taneously decreased or increased from 10–200% in 10%
increments.
For example, selecting a 50% factor decreases all sta-
tions to half of their programmed station time. A station
programmed for 20 minutes would run 10 minutes and a
station with 15 minutes would run 7 minutes and 30 sec-
onds. As a conservation measure, an increase above
100% time calculates the increased time and splits the
time in half. The program watering cycle then runs
through twice consecutively. This method of increasing
irrigation enables more water to soak into the plant root
zone instead of pooling and running off.
For example, adjusting to 150% will first increase a
20-minute station time to 30 minutes (1.5 x 20 = 30).
The controller automatically divides 30 minutes in half
and runs the station for 15 minutes in back-to-back
watering cycles.
Note: All station times are retained in the controller's
programmable memory and returned to their set value
when the season adjust is reset to 100%. The adjusted
station time will be displayed during operation.
The % symbol will be displayed when an adjustment
factor is in use.
