Setting The Soak Time; Selecting Usable Rainfall - Toro TIS-240 User Manual

Setting the Soak Time

Soak time is an adjustable delay period that is placed between station
watering cycles. The delay time enables irrigation water to soak into
the soil to avoid pooling, runoff and possible erosion.
Note: The Soak time entered is actually the minimum delay period.
The actual soak time may be longer due to programming variables
of other stations scheduled to operate on the same day.
1. Within the Progam menu, turn the Upper Line knob to view
the following display:
SET SOAK TIME
30 Minutes
2. The default Soak time is 30 minutes. To adjust the soak time from
00-480 minutes, turn the Lower Line knob.
Setting the Usable Rainfall
The amount of watered area not restricted from rainfall determines
the Usable Rainfall setting. For example, a planter next to the house
may be completely blocked from rain by the roof overhang. In this
case, the None option should be selected. An exposed lawn area with
no obstructions would have the YES option selected.
Note: When the None option is selected, the station will continue to
operate as programmed during a watering delay period initiated by
the Rain Pause function or an active Rain Sensor.
1. Within the Program menu, turn the Upper Line knob to view
the following display:
USABLE RAINFALL
Yes
2. The Yes option is selected by default. To select None, turn the
Lower Line knob.
