mode. Smart calculated run/
soak schedules can be viewed
by selecting Advanced Menu,
Review and Run/Soak.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons
to select Clay, Loam or Sandy
soil type for each zone. After you have selected a soil type for
a zone, push NEXT button to advance to the next zone. Slope
for each zone can also be set in the Soil Type menu. From the
Soil Type menu, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select Slope.
Using the NEXT button select the degrees of slope (elevation
change) for each zone. Set each zone for 0 to 25 degrees of
slope based on the chart provided.
Use NEXT button to move between zones.
4.2.4 More/Less (optional)
Note: Run/Soak period can reduce the need to
set multiple start times for purpose of preventing
runoff. Using the combination of multiple start
times and Run/Soak cycles can lead to extended
watering windows since Run/Soak cycles are applied to
each start time.
When your SmartLine® controller is set
in SMART mode, the Seasonal % Adjust
in the BASIC mode is inactivated since
the automatic adjustments are made
daily rather than monthly. You can use
MORE/LESS to fine tune the run time
calculation by zone in the SmartLine®
controller by –50 to +25%.

move between zones.
This feature can be
useful to reduce run time
adjustments for shady
and partially shaded zones. The table provided may be used for
general shade guidelines. Other factors may result in needing
to use MORE/LESS for fine tune adjustments including sprinkler
efficiency, zone efficiency, and wind. Sprinkler efficiency varies
between types of sprinklers and the manufacturer's design. Zone
efficiency varies based on the design layout of sprinklers in a
zone, sometimes overlapping or sometimes not. High winds can
serve to dry out plant and soil to increase the need for water.
For optimum results considering the many unique variables in
each zone, users should periodically monitor plant life health and
water usage, especially after initial controller setup, so proper
adjustments can be made.
