Key Functions - Hunter Genesis Programming And Operations Manual

KEY FUNCTIONS

This section offers a brief explanation of what each key does. You'll find detailed instructions on how
to use the functions in the sections that follow: How To Program the Controller, How To Operate the
Controller, How To Use the Program/Start Options, How To Use The Program Options, and How To
Use the Global Options.
Read or change the time of day. You can also press the TIME key to leave many programming functions without
causing any changes to the Program, and return to the time display (think of it as an Escape key).
Read or change the schedule length (1-32 days), the day number in the schedule, and the time for
the day-change. The system automatically sets the time of day-change to 12 midnight, but you can
select any hour on the hour.
For example, if you irrigate from 9 PM to 4 AM and the day changes at midnight, the day-change happens in the
middle of your irrigation schedule. But if you set the day-change to 8 PM, all your watering is on the same day, as
far as Genesis is concerned.
Select, read, write, or change any of the five automatic Programs. You must select a Program before
you can execute Days On, Days Off, Start, Run Time, Semi-Auto, or any of the Options.
Read or change the days when each independent Program operates. Select a Program first. Then,
press WATER DAY YES for Y (Yes) or WATER DAYS NO for N (No) as the blinking cursor moves to
each day in the schedule.
The display window shows only seven days at a time. If there are more than seven days in the schedule, the
display rolls to the next string of days. This continues, if necessary, up to 32 days. To advance through the
schedule seven days at a time, press CALENDAR.
You must press Enter to save schedule entries.
Read or change any of the four Start and End times within each independent Program. The Program
stops irrigating at the set End time - even if there are stations left to run in the Program.
The End time feature protects you from unintentionally irrigating at the wrong time. It's useful if you're using
continuous cycles, or if you're in an area where city ordinances ban irrigation during certain times of the day. You
are not required to program an End time.
Read or change any of the station Run Times. Each Start has its own independent Run Times for
each station. First, select a Program, then select a Start. Then, when you first press this key, the
display shows the accumulated hours:minutes or minutes:seconds of Run Time within that
Program/Start.
Each additional time you press the key, the display advances through the Run Times for each of the stations in the
controller.
