Days / Times
In this menu a start time, water window and a water day mode can
be assigned to one of four available programs A-D. If a pump start
has been assigned as a station output, any one of three programs
can be excluded from a pump start but only in Stack mode.
Note: Check for STACK or OVERLAP (See SETUP for Stack or
Overlap.): If Stack is set; programs B, C and D will have the
same start time as program A. Programs will run sequentially
starting with program A. If Overlap is set, different start times
may be set for each program.
2.3 Exclude a Program from a Pump Start (only when assigned)
Any one of three programs can be excluded from a pump start
when a station output has been assigned as a pump start. The
factory default is all programs are assigned to a pump start un-
less otherwise selected. This feature might be used when drip
emitters and rotor use the same mainline but only one sprinkler
type needs the added delivery pressure.

program A, B, C or D. Turn the (U) knob to SET STARTS/WIN-
