Programming Instructions

Introduction

This controller has been designed with two separate
programs to allow the different garden areas to have their
own individual watering schedules.

A program is basically a method of grouping stations
(valves) with similar watering requirements to water on
the same days. These stations will water in sequential
order from the lowest number at the start time (or times)
nominated and on the days selected.

The important elements of programming your
controller are:

Group the stations

 (valves) which are watering similar

garden areas together.

Examples: Turf, flower beds, pergola areas, vegetables.
These different groups may require individual watering
schedules.

l

 

Plan your watering schedule

 and write the information

on the planner supplied at the back of this book.

l

 

Set the current time and correct day of the week

.

l

 

Set the automatic program

 for each group by

completing the following 3 steps.

1

Set Starts.

This sets the time when the watering schedule is to
commence.

2

Set Watering Days.

These are the nominated days when the
automatic system will be active.

3

Set Station Run Times.

This sets the watering duration required for each
station (valve).
