Clearing Errors
You can correct a mistake while setting hours, minutes or
watering days, press Clear/Rain to return to the original
setting, then enter in the correct information.
The controller will not accept a run time greater than 12
hours, 59 minutes. Instead, it will respond by flashing
on the display for 30 seconds. During this time
you must press

Reviewing your programmed schedule

watering. Cycle through the settings for either function by
repeatedly pressing either
or
If no key is
pressed for 30 seconds, the display returns to the con-
trollers current operating mode.
Manual watering
You can manually water all Zones or a selected Zone at
any time-except when an automatic watering cycle is
already in progress.
To water all Zones (except Zones set to OFF), press
twice. Each Zone will water in numerical sequence for
its programmed run time.
To water a selected Zone, press MAN once. Then press
repeatedly to display the desired Zone. Press
again to start watering the Zone displayed.
To water a selected Zone for a specific amount of
time, press MAN once. Then

Changing run times in manual mode won’t alter your
original program settings.
Interrupting the watering cycle
You can stop a watering cycle already in progress by
pressing
once (PAUSE and RUN TIME messages
will flash). Press
again to resume watering. If left in
pause mode until midnight, controller will automatically
reset to begin watering at the first programmed start time
of the new day.
Turning off the system/rain shut-off
You can prevent automatic watering from starting by
pressing

again to resume
watering.
Pushing
when automatic watering is already in
progress will terminate the watering then taking place,
but resume automatic watering at the next start time.
You may still activate manual watering when controller is
in rain mode.
Changing programmed settings
You can enter new program settings for time and day,
start times, and Zones at any time-even while water-
ing is taking place. However if you alter run time or
watering days on a Zone that is currently operating, the
change will not effect the watering then in progress; all
changes take effect with the next watering cycle.
Likewise, changing start time, clock time, or clock day
will not effect watering already in progress.
