Setting the Water Budget
The water budget feature allows you to increase
or decrease a program's watering time in incre-
ments of 1% without having to reset the timing for
each station in the program. You can set the
budget for 0% to 300%. You can use the 0% set-
ting to shut a program down temporarily. To set
the water budget:
1. Rotate the dial to WATER BUDGET. The
display shows the program and the water
budget percentage.
2. Press PGM until the program you want is
displayed.
3. Use the arrow keys to set the percentage.
4. Return the dial to AUTO. The controller re-
turns to the time of day display. The default
percentage for all programs is 100%. When
the water budget for a program is set to other
than 100%, WATER BUDGET will show in
the display whenever that program is se-
lected.
Setting Event Day Off
The Event Day Off feature allows you to omit
temporarily a calendar day or days from the wa-
tering cycle. After a calendar day passes, that
day returns to the default setting. The default for
all days is ON. If the 31st is set to OFF, it re-
mains off until it is set to ON. This is to accom-
modate odd day watering cycles which do not al-
low watering on the 31st and 1st. To set a day
off:
1. Rotate the dial to EVENT DAY OFF. The dis-
play shows the day of the month on the left,
and the ON or the OFF setting on the right.
The day of the month is flashing, indicating
that it is ready to be set.
