Watering Program Details

This section covers in detail each of the three parts of
a watering program: watering days, program start times
and station times.
Selecting a Watering Day Schedule
The TMC-212 provides three optional formats to schedule
watering days: Calendar, Interval and Odd/Even.
The Calendar Format
The Calendar format is a recurring 7-day schedule that
begins on Sunday and enables you to select specific days
of the week to water.
This illustration shows how a
Calendar schedule would be

WATERING DAYS
In this example, program A has watering days set for
Monday ( ), Wednesday (
MO
The Interval Format
The Interval format provides a periodic watering day
schedule ranging from 1 (everyday) to 7 (every-7th day)
in one-day increments. For example, to water every third
day, you would select a 3-day interval.
Since the interval schedule is not tied to specific days of
the week, you can determine when the interval schedule
will start by selecting the initial watering day.
For example, if you have selected a 3-day Interval and
today is Sunday, you may choose to have today, Monday
or Tuesday be the first watering day of the interval. If you
select Monday, the next watering day will be Thursday.

Odd or Even Day Format
The Odd or Even day format enables you to select all
odd- or all even-numbered days of the month to water.

day schedule for program A would
be displayed.
Day Exclusion Feature
Since the Interval and Odd/Even watering day formats
are not tied to actual calendar days, the Day Exclusion
feature enables you to exclude specific days of the week
from the watering schedule. For example, due to water
conservation restrictions, watering is not permitted on
Monday. Also, the lawn is mowed on Saturday, so Mon-
day and Saturday will be excluded from the schedule.
This example shows the days
excluded (dE) are Monday and
Saturday in watering program A.
Program Off
Selecting Off disables the program until needed and does
not alter or erase any of its current settings.
This illustration shows how a program
would be displayed if it is turned Off.
In this example, program C is Off.
