to change the flashing value
for the hour. Scrolling past
12 will automatically change
AM/PM. Remember hold-
ing down the UP or DOWN
arrow button will rapidly advance through the flashing menu.
(Note: For international users, if controller is powered by
230VAC, 50 Hz AC, display will read in international hours
rather than AM/PM.)

tons to set minutes. Push NEXT to access calendar setting.
Use ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons to set month/day/year. (Note:

Your SmartLine ® controller has a 100-year calendar, so when

3.2 Program Start Times

8 start times are available
per program (A, B, C and D).
The program will start at the
time you designate and water
all zones assigned to that
program in consecutive order.
For most Auto Adjust programs, one start time is sufficient since
Auto Adjust will provide automatic soak periods to prevent run-
off. Unused start times must be set in the OFF position. To set
a start time at OFF, hold down on either arrow button until you
reach the OFF postion located at midnight.
When setting program start times, check the program icon in
the display to see whether you are working in A, B, C or D.
Use PGM button to move between programs. Use NEXT and
BACK buttons to move between start times. Use up and down
arrow buttons to set each start time desired. Start times are
selectable in 10-minute incre-
ments. Note: Be sure you
select the AM/PM time as
® controller
desired by scrolling past 12.
(For international users, the
display will show internation-
al hours instead of AM/PM.)
If a run time overlaps the
next program start time, the
SmartLine® controller will
stack the start times within
each program and between
programs, beginning those
operations at the time the
6
Note: Run/Soak
period can
reduce the need
to set multiple
start times for the purpose
of preventing runoff. Using
the combination of multiple
start times and Run/Soak
cycles can lead to extend-
ed watering windows
since Run/Soak cycles are
applied to each start time.
