II. Guided Programming (Optional)
In guided programming, the controller display prompts you to
enter data for items by flashing the appropriate A. It automatically
prompts you to supply information about the current time and
date, program start time(s), valve run time(s) and watering days
for program A and program B. After all items are entered
,
an
“OK” will be flashed five times to verify programming is complete.
If you have not entered the required data during the guided
programming session, the controller will flash the message
and prompt you for the missing data. The purpose of guided
programming is to allow you to enter a program without this
manual.
To begin, set dial to GUlDED PROGRAM. This will lead you
through five easy
steps
.
Use the + and - buttons to increase or
decrease times. Use the
button to enter your selection and to
advance to the next step. After setting the time and date,
program A (or B) A will flash. You will be prompted to complete
program A. If required, you may continue with program B by
pressing the A/B button. After the final programming step, the
controller will flash “OK”. You will then be prompted to set-up the
other program, B (or A), if desired. After all desired programming
is done, set dial to RUN position to begin automatic operation.
Hint:
Plug in 9 volt alkaline battery t
o allow programming at
your kitchen table
