USING WATER BUDGETING
A special water budgeting feature allows you to quickly increase or
decrease the watering time per
program. The
currently programmed
times can be adjusted by a percentage ranging from 0% through 255%.
For example, in the winter you might want to water only 50% of the
programmed time.
To use water budgeting:
1. Turn the dial to the desired program.
2. Press the
%/PM
key. The controller displays the current water
budgeting percent (e.g.,
100
for 100%).
3. Key in the new percent value (e.g. 50 for 50%).
4. Press the
Enter
key. The controller flashes the new percent value
and a period is displayed in the lower right comer to indicate a
budget percentage other than 100.

EXAMPLE:
Assume that Program 1 waters two stations, station 1 for
PROGRAM
30
min. and station 2 for 45 min. To adjust the watering
time for all stations in Program 1 to 50% of their
current watering times, turn the dial to Program 1:

NOTE:
Watering run times may be returned to their original values
by entering 100%.
Watering times will be displayed and remain as originally
programmed.
For percentages, other than 100, in the respective program
position, a period will appear in the lower right side of the
display. This is to alert the user of a water budget status in
that program.
The start time stacking feature on this controller will provide
start time overlap protection in the event that an error in
programming or an increased water budgeting percent creates
an overlap between cycle start times. In the event that an
overlap does occur, the controller will automatically suspend
the start time until the current watering cycle finishes.
