Section 3: Programming with
Easy-Set Logic
A note about multiple programs
Your sprinkler timer provides the flexibility of using 3
independent programs (A,B,C) . A program is where you
store all of your sprinkler settings . it consists of a group of
stations set to specific start times and run times . Multiple
programs allow you to run different valves on different days
with different run times . While many applications only require
one program (A), using multiple programs can be useful for
drip areas, newly planted lawn, or rotary sprinkler stations .
Using programs to group stations with similar water needs
will maximize irrigation efficiency .
Primary programming can be accomplished in just a few basic
steps .
