Setting Up Watering Schedules
A key component of a station operating program is its watering
schedule. Two optional scheduling modes are available: Automatic
and User-defined. Within the Automatic mode, two separate
schedules (A and B) can be defined. Within the User-defined (U)
schedule mode, operation with and without ET data input can be
defined. The defined watering schedules will then be assigned to
each station within the Program fucntion.
The Schedule function menu for Automatic and User-defined
schedules consists of the following items:
• Set Schedule – to select the Schedule mode
• Set Irrigation Start – to set the Water Window start time
•
Set Window Hour – to set the Water Window duration.
Automatic schedules A and B are defined with two additional
menu items:
• Set High ET Start - to set start time for high ET conditions
•
Select Water Days - to set the active watering day schedule.
Note: The watering day schedule for the User-defined mode is
defined in the Program function.
