HIDDEN FEATURES (CONTINUED)
Cycle and Soak
The Cycle and Soak feature allows you to split a station's run time
into more usable, shorter watering durations. This feature is useful
when applying water to slopes and tight soils because it automati-
cally applies water more slowly, helping to prevent runoff from
occurring. You should enter the Cycle time as a fraction of the
station's watering time, and the Soak time as the minimum number
of minutes required before watering can occur again for the next
Cycle. The total number of cycles is determined by taking the total
programmed station run time and dividing it by the Cycle time.
Accessing the Cycle and Soak Menu:
The Cycle and Soak feature is accessed by placing the dial
in the RUN position, pressing and holding the
onds; while holding the
dial position, then release the button.

NOTE: Before 1 hour, only minutes are displayed
(e.g. 36). At 1 hour or above, the display will change
to include the hour digit (e.g. 1:13 and 4:00).
If a station's Run Time is less than or equal to the
Cycle time, then no Cycle will be applied.
