Selecting the Slope Factor
The Slope factor is used in the automatic program calculation to
determine the watering run time and number of repeat cycles per
watering day.
A Slope factor of 0 – 5% is not factored in the watering program
calculation.
Increasing the Slope factor beyond 5% will result in decreasing
the watering run time per cycle and increasing the number of
watering cycles per day.
