.ill Out Programming Chart

Before you begin programming, fill out the Programming Chart
and attach it to the inside of the controller door. A sample
Programming Chart is shown on page 9. .ollow these instruc-
tions to complete the chart.
Describe the sprinklers or plant zones covered by each
station on the controller.
Indicate which stations drive a master valve or booster
pump relay by checking “ON” in the MV / Pump column.
(See page 26 for more information).
In the Program “A” column, for Custom cycle, circle the
specific days of the week; for Cyclical schedule, write the
cycle period (e.g., “3-day cycle” means every third day);
for ODD/EVEN-day watering, check ODD or EVEN.
Enter the start time for Program A. You may enter up to six
start times for each program, but only one is needed to run
the program.
NOTE: Start times apply to the program, not to the
individual stations assigned to the program. In this
example, Program A begins watering at 8:00 a.m. on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Station 1 runs for ten minutes, followed by Station 2
for 20 minutes, Station 3 for 20 minutes, and Station 4
8
for 5 minutes. The entire program takes about an
hour.
Enter the watering run time (in hours and minutes) for each
station assigned to Program A.
Enter the water budget percentage by program. The water
budget for sample Program A is set to 80%.
Enter the station delays for Program A. A station delay is
the time between the end of one station’s operation and
the beginning of the next. Use a station delay to let a water
well recover or to allow slow-closing valves to turn off
completely. If neither of these situations applies to your
site, leave the station delay set to 0. A station delay setting
applies to all stations in the program.
In the sample chart, Program A has a one-minute delay
between stations. When Station 1 ends, the controller waits
one minute before starting Station 2. There will also be a
one-minute delay between Station 2 and Station 3, etc.
Make any special notes in the space provided.
Repeat steps 2 through 7 for Programs B, C, and D.
NOTE: Stations assigned to Program D cannot be
used in any other programs. See page 19 for more
information.
