Delay between Stations allows the operator to set an
automatic delay between sequential stations by Program,
from 1 second to 6 hours. The original purpose of Delay
between Stations was to provide time for slow-closing
valves to shut down before the next valve was started, and
these delays are usually set in seconds. The Delay can also
be used to allow time for a well or pump reservoir to refill
before the next station begins.
In the ACC, Delay Between Stations can be set by Program,
which can be very useful when only certain types of
stations (large rotor zones, low flow drip) are grouped
within a program.
Start in any other dial position, hold the Information
button down, and turn the dial to Set Station Run Times.
Release the Information button.
The display will now permit programming of Delay
between Stations.

To set a Delay
1. Use the Program button to select the Program for
which the Delay is to be set.
2. Use the +/- keys to set the delay in h:mm:ss format.
Use the left and right arrows to move through the hour,
minutes, and seconds fields until the delay is set.
The Delay Between Stations for the Program is now set.
Use the Program button to set a select another Program,
or exit the dial position to save the settings.
Delay Between Stations rules:
• Delays occur equally between all stations in a
Program.
• Delays do not occur before the first station, nor after
the last station.
• Delays may cause a Program to run into a No Water
Window, and no warning will be flashed. The No Water
Window will still prevent any irrigation during the No
Water Window times.
• The delay time is not included in the "Total Program
Runtime" screen, or the "Total Station Runtime"
screen.
P/MV Style (nOrMAlly ClOSeD/nOrMAlly On)
The ACC controller is designed to work with Normally
Closed master valves (MV). The P/MV Style setting allows
you to reverse this operating feature for very specialized
applications, by making Normally Closed valve "on" all the
time, except when a station is running. Then the normally
closed master valve will turn off and close.
