MAKInG ADjuStMentS
After programming the Solar Sync module and your
controller, allow the system to operate for 3 days to gather
sun and temperature data.
• Observe the S-Sync Adjust value on the controller
display. If the amount seems to be lower or higher
than expected for the time of year, use the Water
Adjustment feature to correct.
• If necessary, the watering may be increased or
decreased with the Water Adjustment factor. Only
change the Region setting if you run out of adjustment
range within your selected region. The Region setting
adjusts sensitivity to weather change, and may have
unexpected results.

• Notice that as the Water Adjustment factor is changed,
the current S-Sync Adjust amount at the top of the
screen is changed. This can help you predict how
much more or less watering will occur, as a result of
the change (the actual minutes can also be seen at the
Set Station Run Times dial position, after adjustment).
• When adjustment is complete, return the dial to the
Run position.
CheCK run tIMeS
After adjusting the Water Adjustment factor, you can turn
the dial to the Set Station Run Times to see the effects of
the change, in minutes (or gallons or liters, if flow has
been learned for the station).
• Select a station in an adjusted program. The screen
will show the "Programmed" run time, meaning
the original run time, and "Actual". The Actual run
time is what will actually run with the effects of the
Solar-Sync adjustment.
• If the controller has learned flow by station, press and
hold the Information button, to view the estimated
water usage (in gallons or liters) after the effects of
the change.
• Run times occurring after midnight may be slightly
different, since the next adjustment for today's ET will
occur at midnight.

has been making.
• Turn the dial to the Data History dial position.
• Use the arrow buttons to select the Controller Logs,
and press the + button.

controller that are not alarms (alarms are tracked
separately, in the Alarm Log). Every change to
Seasonal Adjustment occurs approximately 2 seconds
before midnight, and each change is recorded in the
log.
