4.0 Programming for Smart Watering Mode
Weathermatic's patented SMART 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 Series On-Site Weather Sensor. SMART mode is
designed to help you protect your landscaping, reduce wasteful
run-off, and minimize your water costs.
Warning: Smart mode positions on the dial can
only be selected when an optional SLW Series
On-Site Weather Sensor accessory is installed.
Additionally, Basic Program Function must be
set up completely before setting up SMART mode. SMART
Mode replaces the Zone Run Times with a calculated value
using the SMART settings.

4.1 Set ZIP Code or Latitude

SMART operation first requires that
the SmartLine® Controller know "where
in the world" it is located. Users in the
USA can set location by ZIP Code.
Users outside of the USA can set
location by latitude. Use UP and DOWN buttons to select ZIP
Code (USA) or LATITUDE. To find your latitude, see World
Latitudes in the Reference section on page 27.
If you are setting a ZIP Code, push NEXT. Display will show 5
numerical positions for ZIP Code settings. Use UP and DOWN
buttons to set the flashing number. Then push NEXT to flash the
next number. Use UP and DOWN buttons to set second number.
Continue process until all 5 numbers of your ZIP Code are set.

If you are outside the USA, you will enter LATITUDE. You can
use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose any latitude between
60 degrees south and 60 degrees north. 0 degrees setting is
marked as EQUATOR.

4.2 Enter Smart Data for Zones

Enter SMART data for zones: Sprinkler Type, Plant Type, Soil
Type, and MORE/LESS. The SmartLine® controller cannot
calculate run times without SMART data for each zone and
without Zone Run Times assigned to each operational zone,
which serve to back up SMART mode.
4.2.1
In order to calculate run time, the controller must know the
expected precipitation rate for each
zone. Use NEXT and BACK buttons
to move between zones. Use UP and
DOWN buttons to set zone to OFF or to
