Programming Solar Sync Settings; Programming Region & +/- Water Adjustment Setting - Hunter X-Core Owners Manual And Programming Instructions

prOgraMMIng sOlar synC seTTIngs

The table will assist you in identifying the type of region you live
in. There are four basic ET regions, each with descriptions of the
region, along with typical ET and temperature characteristics. It is
recommended that, if possible, the region be chosen based upon
average July ET or peak summer ET (inches/mm per day).
Use the following table for choosing your region (reference below).
You can use a, b or C to help you choose which region is best for
your area:
a: Based upon the ET of your region using the average July ET or
peak summer ET (inches/mm per day). This is the preferred option
when selecting your region.
b: Based upon the temperature for your region using the average
July or the driest month high temperature (not the highest
temperature for July).
C: Based upon the general description of your region.
