Setting Up a Program

There are four program settings available with the ESP-MC: A, B, C, and D. You can
set each program to operate according to your specifications. When you set up a pro-
gram, you:
• select the program,
• choose a cycle setting for the program, and
• assign stations and set the station's watering durations and start times.
Note: It is easier to select a program and program it completely. Jumping from pro-
gram to program can be confusing.
Step one: Selecting a program
1. Press PGM to cycle through the available
programs. The program indicator on the far
left side of the display changes.
Step two: Selecting the cycle
Each program can operate in one of four cycle modes:
• CUSTOM waters on the days of the week you select
• CYCLICAL waters according to a cycle with a specified number of days.
• ODD waters only on odd days of the month.
• EVEN waters only on even days of the month.
Note: All programs default to the custom cycle.
