Press the INFORMATION button and turn the dial to
Manual Operation.
Custom Manual programs are "preset" irrigation
sequences which do not run automatically, but can be
started at any time from the Manual Operations position.
The ACC permits up to 4 Custom Manual programs.
Custom Manual programs can be used for many
specialized functions that are commonly started from the
controller, to save tedious setup each time the function is
needed. They also permit very flexible programming for
unusual applications.
To create a Custom Manual program: Press the Information
button, and turn the dial the Manual Operations position.
The Custom Manual setup screen will appear.
The screen will show a setup form for Custom Manual Prg 01.
To set up a different Custom Manual, press the Programs
button to advance.
To continue setting up the selected Custom Manual, press
the down arrow to advance to the first Event.
Events can be stations, SSGs, or even Delays. Events are
the order in which items will run.
Use the + or – button to choose a station or SSG for the
first event.
Use the right arrow to move to the duration (time) for the
event. This can be completely different from any run times
that item may have in regular programs (A-F).
After run times are entered, the "Use Cycle and Soak?"
question will appear, if the station or SSG has been
50
programmed to use Cycle and Soak with the "Y" selected.
If you want the stations or SSGs to use their normal Cycle
and Soak settings (if applicable), leave the option set to
"Y." If not, change the "Y" to "N" with the + or – buttons.
For specialized applications where longer run times are
desired (such as leaching), leave the Use Cycle and Soak
to N and the station or SSG's Cycle and Soak settings will
be ignored.
Use the down arrow to move to the next event, and
continue until the Custom Manual program is complete.
CuStOM MAnuAl ruleS
• Delays can be inserted as Events. Use the + or –
buttons (the – button is often closer) to scroll through
the stations and SSGs to DELAY (occurs below Station
01, and above the highest numbered station or SSG).
Set a time for the delay as though it were a station.
• Stations and SSGs may be mixed in a Custom Manual.
• The same station (or SSG) may be included multiple
times in a Custom Manual.
• Stations (or SSGs) may run in any order in Custom
Manuals, unlike automatic programs.
• Custom Manuals are always run in an overlapping
mode, because they are manually started.
For example, if an automatic program, manual, or ICR
command is already running, the custom manual will
run at the same time within the six station maximum
rule. If there are already three stations running,
and the first event in the Custom Manual is an SSG,
the screen will explain in the Manual Operation dial
position that it cannot run the Custom Manual because
the max number of stations is already running.
