programmable rain Off

The Programmable Rain Off allows the user to set period of time in which
the controller will be turned off, after which the system will automatically
return to automatic irrigation. This is useful for halting irrigation when
weather fronts or conditions are expected to persist for several days.
To set a Programmable Rain Off duration:
1. Turn the dial to the Off position.
2. While the controller is in the sysTeM Off dial position, press the
+ / – button. The controller will immediately go into the Remaining
Days mode. Continue using the + / – button until you reach the
desired number of days you want the irrigation to be off before
automatic irrigation will resume. You may select a Programmable Rain
Off from 1 to 180 days.
Turn the dial back to the run position. The display at the RUN
3.
position will then show the number of days for the Programmable
Off setting. This will count down each day at midnight, showing the
remaining days until automatic irrigation will resume.
Remote commands will act the same in the Programmable Rain Off setting,
as they do in the sysTeM Off dial position. Manual single station and
manual program remote commands will activate the controller and run.
As soon as you turn the dial back to the sysTeM Off position the
Programmable Rain Off will be erased, and you will have to reprogram
the Remaining Days. It is important to leave the dial in the Run position to
maintain the Programmable Rain Off setting.

One Touch Manual start and advance

This feature allows the user to start a manual program, similar to activating
a Manual Program at the Manual OperaTIOn dial position, but without
having to turn the dial. It will activate all the stations within the Program for
the given programmed run time they were assigned.
With the dial in the run position, press and hold the ► button.
The controller will default to Program A. You can select Program B, C, or D
by pressing the PRG button.
The stations run time will be flashing. Use the ◄ or ► buttons to select the
station within the program you would like the manual to begin with, and
use the + / – button to select a different run time for the particular station
number you have on the screen. Any stations following the first station
activated will run for their automatic programmed run times.
After no more buttons are pressed, the controller will automatically begin
watering. After the manual program begins, you may also use the ► button
to scroll to a particular station or advance to a station more quickly.

Test program Operation

The I-Core has a quick test program that will run all stations for a selectable
period of time, in numerical order. The test is an easy way to walk
through every station in the system to verify proper operation, or perform
diagnostics. It also features a quick advance for stepping through stations
with the ◄ or ► button.
1. With the dial in the run position, press and hold the PRG button for
approximately three seconds.
2. The Test Program screen will appear with Station 1 and a flashing run
time of 0:00.
3. Use the + button to increase the flashing test run time from 1 minute
to 15 minutes. Each station will run for this selected run time.
Press the ► button to select which station the Test program will
4.
begin with.
5. The Test program will begin running in 3 seconds if no further buttons
are pressed.
6. Once the Test program is running, the stations can be advanced or
reversed without waiting for the run times to complete. Press the ►
button to step up one station immediately. Press the ◄ button to back
up one station and this will restart the previous station with a new Test
run time.

Complete flow Monitoring procedure

This is a complete step by step procedure to set up and initialize flow
monitoring for the I-Core controller. There are multiple programming
steps that need to be completed in order for the monitoring of station's
flows to occur. It is important to complete all of the steps for accurate flow
monitoring.
1. Before any flow programming takes place, you must have
programmed automatic station run times under set station run
times for the stations you would like to learn flow. The learning
process will not occur until station run times are programmed, as the
controller does not recognize the station until it has a programmed
runtime.
Turn the dial to adVanCed feaTures. Use the ▼ button to move
2.
the ► cursor next to Sensor Configuration, press the + button.
3. Use the + / – button until the correct HFS FCT size is displayed. A list
of sizes and descriptions can be found in the Set Configuration section
in Advanced Features. Enter the HFS FCT size for SEN1 or SEN2
according to which sensor terminals you have the flow sensor wired. If
you are installing two flow sensors, both SEN1 and SEN2 will have to be
programmed for each flow sensor.
