Programming Steps

This chapter describes the required programming steps of the 
controller and it is divided into two: Basic Settings and Irrigation 
management settings. 

Basic Settings:

First Basic Settings Screen

The basic controller setting should be done once the controller is 
wired to the system and the power is connected, or after a total 
reset operation is performed. The basic settings consist of the 
following:

Solenoid Type: 

Upon initial start-up the connected solenoid type is checked by the 
controller; it must be a DC latch solenoid.
