Once the Main % Scale has been changed, the
scaled run times for all stations will be dis-
played when the Stations button is pressed in
any Program. To return to the original (or base)
run times, repeat the procedure above and
change the Main % Scale to 100%.
Set Schedule Length: The Schedule Length is
the number of days in a complete VSX watering
period, and allows the controller to track pro-
grams which do not water every day. If you
only water a certain plant type every other day,
for example, you could enter a 2-day Schedule,
and schedule that program to water on just one
of the days. The Schedule Length is tracked for
the entire controller. To set the watering Sched-
ule for individual programs, go to the individual
Program and press SCHEDULE (see Schedule
on page 16).
If you are not sure what schedule you need,
start out with a 7-day schedule (so that it
matches the number of days in a calendar
week). You can always change it later.
If you always water everything every day, you
can also just set a 1-Day schedule.
To set the Schedule Length: Press ENTER at
the
“Set Sched Len?”
display. The display will
then show:
The default Schedule Length is 14 days: the
maximum is 31 days. Type the number of the
new Schedule Length with the number buttons
on the keypad, and press ENTER. The display
will briefly show
“SAVED!”
and the new
Schedule Length selection. After a moment, the
display will revert to:
You may now press the OPTIONS, BACK, or
NEXT buttons to view more options, or you may
press EXIT to leave the Edit Settings mode.
Set Schedule Day: The Schedule Day shows
which day of the Schedule the controller thinks
it is. For example, if you had set a 7-day sched-
ule for a Schedule Length (above), you could
tell the controller that today is Day 1 of the 7-
Day Schedule, meaning Sunday. If today
happens to be Wednesday, you could tell it that
today is Day 4 (of the 7-day schedule).
Another example would be if most of your
irrigation occurred every day, but a few pro-
grams only run every other day (regardless of
the day of the week). You could set up a 2-day
Schedule Length, and then tell the controller
which of the two days today is (1 or 2). In the
Program Schedule (see Schedule on page 17)
you can specify which days the individual
Programs will water.
To set the Schedule Day (for today): Press
ENTER at the
“Set Sched Day?”
display. The
display will then show:
Type the number of the new Schedule Day with
the number buttons on the keypad, and press
ENTER. The display will briefly show
“SAVED!”
and the new Schedule Day selec-
tion. After a moment, the display will revert to:
