Set Watering Day Schedule

The TMC-424E series offers three watering day schedule formats. Each program
can have any one of the following schedule formats:
Calendar Days – Use this scheduling method to select specific days of the week.
Odd/Even – Schedules days by odd-or even-numbered calendar days.
NOTE: When an odd-numbered day schedule is used, watering will not occur on
the 31st of any month and February 29th of a leap year.
Day Interval – Scheduling by Day Interval enables a specific number of days
between watering to be selected. For example, selecting a 1-day Interval
schedules watering to occur every day. A 2-day interval schedules watering
to occur every-other day. A 31-day interval is the maximum schedule, providing
watering only once every 31 days. Since the interval schedule is not tied to
specific days of the week, you will also need to determine when the interval
will start, by selecting the current day within the Interval.
• Day Exclusion – When using the Odd/Even or Day Interval watering day
schedule, watering will not always occur on the same days each week.
To prevent watering on a specific days, for example, watering-restricted days,
specific days of the week can be easily excluded from the schedule.
NOTE: Each program can only have one assigned watering schedule format.
If either an Interval or Odd/Even schedule is currently set, it must be turned Off
first to enable an optional format to be selected.
