  • Page 9: Defining The Water Valve Runtime

    BERMAD Operation Manual Controllers Defining the Water Valve Runtime The water runtime of a valve indicates how long the irrigation valve remains open after being activated. In order to include a valve in the selected irrigation program, it must have its water runtime set to a nonzero value. The units used for measuring the water runtime are the units selected at the setup procedure for the particular program.

  • Page 10: Defining The Fertilizer Valve Runtime

    BERMAD Operation Manual Controllers Defining the Fertilizer Valve Runtime When the system contains two fertilizer injectors, each injector can have its own runtime setting for each valve in each of the programs. The fertilizer runtime indicates how long the fertilizer injection lasts after being activated.

    BERMAD Operation Manual Controllers Adjusting the Water Runtime by % The water runtime for all the valves included in a program can be adjusted by % upward (up to 250%) or downward (down to 0%) in steps of 5%. The adjustment does not affect the fertilizers runtime. The adjustment by % is also known as water budget.
