alternately show all programs while the concurrent schedules are
running. Program D is normally used for micro irrigation with low
flow and long run times. Sprinkler zones should be assigned to
A, B, or C.
Care must be taken when programming. In order to not exceed
your irrigation system's hydraulic capacity, double check the
strength of your piping and points of connection. Exceeding this
capacity could lead to fault indications and interrupted irrigation
schedules. The electrical capacity is limited, depending on your
model. A pump start relay may require more mA than a solenoid.
Keep aware of these boundaries when scheduling programs to
initiate and operate simultaneously.

optional sensors for rain,

sensors are connected to your SmartLine® controller, they will
override watering operations if the ON LED is selected. If your
sensor/s have paused your system operation, the ON LED will
be RED until the sensors allow watering to resume. In the event
of a "rain" pause, the LED will change from RED to ORANGE
for an additional pause time before the LED displays GREEN
and system operation resumes. Smart Watering deficits will
decrement to 0 at the rate of 1" per hour. The sensor LED will
