this program, press the OK button to display a checkmark in the field.
When you enable the Intelligent Soak™ feature, the BaseStation 1000 uses intelligent watering
algorithms that apply cycles in the optimal order to maximize water penetration and minimize
evaporation loss. If there are many zones in a program, zones will be cycled and soaked until all have
been completed. Zones that have completed their soak cycles are prioritized higher that zones that
are still waiting to water so the first zones to start watering will be the first to complete.
Step 6 – Setting Up a Moisture Start Condition for the Program
1. On the BaseStation 1000 controller, press the Program Setup button. The Program Setup menu
displays.
2. Press the PRG button until the program that you set up to water based on biSensor readings
displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Note: To move backwards in the list of programs, press and hold the PRG button, and then press
the – button repeatedly.
3. Press the button to highlight the Setup Prg. Start option, and then press the OK button. The Setup
Prg. Start screen displays the list of start conditions.
4. Press the button to highlight the Moisture Start option, and then press the OK button. A
checkmark displays next to the Moisture Start option.
5. Press the button to configure the moisture start settings.
6. Notice that the serial number for one of your biSensors
is highlighted in the Moisture field. If this is the serial
number for the biSensor that monitors the zones in this
program, no change is required. If you need to use a
different biSensor, press the + or – button to select a
different serial number.
7. Press the button to highlight the Limit field. Leave
the default entry in the field for now. You will enter the
limit later.
Note: In the Limit field, the value in parentheses is the most current reading from the soil moisture
biSensor. Keep in mind that the biSensor is read every 10 minutes.
8. Press the button to highlight Less Than Limit, and then press the OK button.
