If another start time occurs while a watering cycle is in progress, the start time
will be postponed until the previous cycle is finished (known as Stacking). If the
watering cycle extends past midnight into the next day, the watering cycle will
continue operating until finished. However, if a watering cycle start has been
postponed until after midnight into a day that is not scheduled to water, the
cycle will be canceled.

Set Watering Day Schedule

The TMC-424 series offers three watering day schedule formats. Each program
can have any one of the following schedule formats:
Calendar Days – Use this type of schedule to select specific days of the week.
The days are displayed in abbreviations. For example, Sunday = sun,
Monday = mon, etc.
Odd/Even – To select every odd or even numbered calendar day, use this
option. Since the 31st and the 1st are consecutive odd numbered days, the 31st
will never be active. There is also an automatic over-ride for February 29th of a
leap year.
Day Interval – Scheduling watering by Day Interval enables a specific number of
days between watering to be selected. For example, selecting a 1-day Interval
schedules watering for every day. A 2-day interval schedules watering for every
other day. A 31-day interval is the maximum interval frequency, and provides
watering once every 31days. Since the interval schedule is not tied to specific
days of the week, you will also need to determine when the interval schedule will
start by selecting the current day within the Interval.
• Day Exclusion – When using an Odd/Even or Day Interval watering day sched-
ule, watering will not always occur on the same days each week. To prevent
watering on a specific days, for example, on Saturday because it is generally the
day for yard maintenance, Saturday can be excluded from the schedule.
