To Set Watering Cycles:

A watering cycle consists of the activation of valves in se-
quence inside of a specified watering program (A, B, or C).

Using multiple watering cycles is ideal for reducing runoff 
and  standing water.  This sprinkler controller allows 
program A, B or C (or all) to be repeated on the days 
programed. 

When extra watering is needed, all programs can be set to 
repeat the set watering durations up to 10 times a day. In 
order to maximize absorption and prevent runoff, you may 
set a specific number of minutes or hours between the 
start of one cycle and the start of the following cycle. This 
is called the “cycle delay” and can be set from 0 minutes to 
90 minutes in 10-minute increments, and from 2 hours to 
23 hours in one-hour increments.
