Watering Cycle Pause Functions

SmartLine® controllers will "pause" watering cycles in response
to certain sensor readings or program settings in the controller.
Pauses are a normal function of the controller. Watering pauses
will be indicated on all SmartLine® controllers by the presence of
a RED or ORANGE LED as shown in the table and the reason for
the pause will be displayed.
