Instruction 1.0
3. Basic Operation
o
Next Cond. Cycle Min.:
The time remaining to the next possible operation. When
working with conditions and program time together the condition will be active only when
in the time range. At the beginning of operation this parameter is the same as “Cyclic
Interval” from the “Irrigation Program”. It then starts counting down. The condition can
only work if this parameter is zero.
•
Program Timing:
The fixed cyclic timing program. The data here is copied into the previous
section whenever the “next cycle time” is zero.
o
Start Time:
The program start time (please note that this is not the cycle start time).
o
Day Timing (weekly/cyclic) *:
When “cyclic” is selected “interval days” is irrelevant.
When “weekly” is selected the days of the week appear.
o
Interval (Days):
1=every day, 2=every other day etc.
o
Cycles Per Day:
How many cycles the program repeats for every start time.
o
Cyc.Interval (HH:MM):
The amount of time between start to start. If this time is
less than the actual cycle time the cycles will run continuously.
o
End Time: (HH.MM):
If programmed then the irrigation will stop, all the remaining
cycles are cancelled at this time. The program will start again according to its start time.
For example: If you want an irrigation program to work for a few cycles from 20:00 to
03:00 insert “Start Time” 20:00 and “End Time” 03:00.
•
Weekly Program:
These parameters only appear if “Weekly” is selected in the “Day Timing”
parameter. For each day select “On /Off”. Please note that the “Start Time” is the same for every day.
•
Start/End Date
(
2 parameters
):
If programming then both parameters must be entered and
the program will only run between the selected dates.
3.5 Program Constants:
Some of the properties of the “Irrigation Program” that are less
frequently used are found in Program Constants. Press “Main”>“Head-1”>”Prgrms Prog.”>
