Back at the Program Table:
Cycles:
The program can run many cycles for a certain Start Time.Two
parameters are involved:

Cycles per Day:

The program will carry out the defined number of cycles even if it takes
several days to accomplish this or up until the end time (explanation
follows). The amount of irrigation is for a single cycle.

Cycle Interval:

the cycle time in minutes. For example: if a program is set to run for
40 minutes and the cycle duration is 60 minutes the program will
irrigate for 40 minutes and then "rest" for 20 minutes. If the cycle
interval is less than the program time then the program will run
continuously i.e. as soon as one irrigation cycle finishes the next
irrigation cycle will begin. This will also occur if the cycle interval
is zero. When working with a sequence (as previously explained)
the entire sequence works in cycles and the next start time and
cycle interval are for the entire sequence. In this case if the cycle
interval is zero the sequence will work continuously, i.e. when the
last program finishes the first program will immediately start again.

End Time:

(#19) the end time works in conjunction with the start time
(irrespective of whether the start time is by daily cycle or if the start time is
by days of the week). The system will only irrigate between the start time
and the end time. In the case of a large number of cycles the cycles will be
carried out up until the end time when the remaining part of the cycle will
be cancelled. The program will wait until its next start time (according to
interval days or days of the week). For example: If a number of cycles are
to be carried out between 22:00 and 04:00 the start time is set at 22:00,
the end time at 04:00. If the cycle interval is longer than six hours the
program will only run between 22:00 and 04:00 and the remaining cycles
will be cancelled. End time is not obligatory. If a program has a start time
and doesn't have an end time it will first finish the remaining cycle and
only then will carry out the next irrigation.

Start Date and End Date:

these values. If they are used then they both have to be entered.
If defined, then irrigation will only be carried out between the set
dates. If not used, the irrigation is carried out according to the other
conditions irrespective of the date.
