  4 .   6 .  Irrigation Controller Suspension

This option is used to temporarily
suspend irrigation controller
operation. For example, while it is
raining. The irrigation operation
schedule remains in the controller
memory, but is not implemented
until the suspension is canceled. The
suspension option disables ALL
valves connected to the irrigation
controller.

  1 .  Press   until   appears.

  2 .  Press  .    appears and replaces

the water sprinkler symbol in
paragraph 1, above.
Press   to return irrigation
system control to the irrigation
controller.

 disappears and the water

sprinkler symbol reappears.

 *   The word “rAin” will appear on

the display if an attempt is made
to operate a previously
scheduled valve opening while
the irrigation controller is
suspended.

  4 .   7 .  Program Lockout Sensor

(This option is not included in model DC1S–6051 WP)

An advanced feature of the Irrigation Controller enables irrigation
monitoring using a lockout sensor. The lockout sensor contacts remained
closed as long as the pre-defined conditions do not exist. For example, if a
rain sensor is connected to the irrigation controller, irrigation takes place
as long as the sensor remains dry. If rain falls, the sensor prevents all valve
openings.

Each individual valve can be operated in conjunction with the sensor. To
associate the sensor to a particular valve(s), select the desired valve(s) and
activate the sensor (see the explanation below).
