Programming - Weathermatic SmartLine SL800 Owner's Manual

2.0 Getting acquainted with your SmartLine

2.2 Programming

Your SmartLine ® controller has two operating modes:
STANDARD mode or Weathermatic's patented Auto Adjust
mode. The Standard mode uses user assigned zone run times.
The Auto Adjust mode overrides user assigned zone run times
and calculates zone run times based on the location of the site,
inputs by zone, and weather readings from the SLW weather
station. Note: Auto Adjust requires the optional SLW weather
station.
Both the Standard mode and Auto Adjust mode use the user
program start times, watering days, omit times/days, and sev-
eral advanced functions (rain delay, zone to zone delay, and
master valve settings).
Important Note: Zone run times must be entered for every
zone in use for the controller to recognize the zone in either
Standard or Auto Adjust modes.
Using the Programming Buttons
A FLASHING DISPLAY indicates that user choices are available.
The ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons are used to scroll through numeric
values or to make a choice of menu options.
NEXT and BACK Buttons: When watering zones are being
programmed, the left side of the display will indicate the zone
number. The NEXT and BACK buttons are used to scroll through
the zones. If the flashing display indicates a menu selection
rather than a numeric value, the NEXT button will open the
menu for further programming. The BACK button will exit the
menu and cause the chosen value to be saved in memory.
® Controller
RAPID ADVANCE: While programming, holding down the ▲ or
▼ arrow button will cause the flashing display value to rapidly
advance. Rapid advance can also be used with the NEXT and
BACK buttons to rapidly advance through zones.
MENUS WITHIN MENUS: In cases where there are menus
within menus, each press of the BACK button will return to the
next higher menu until the top level menu of the dial position is
reached.
A VALUE CHANGE will be entered in memory any time you (1)
move to a different menu or (2) move the programming dial to
a different position.
