4.3 ExAMPlE Of CREATInG A PROGRAM
A field will have only one TD200 controller. It is generally located near the pump but may be any convenient place.
Step 1
. With the marker on the CREATE PROGRAM line, you may press ENTER here if you want to give
your program a special name. Move down to the next line. Press minus and then ENTER to see where you
can set an amount of time that your groups of valves will water. You can adjust this later also. For this exam-
ple change the time down to 5 minutes using the minus button. Press ENTER to continue.
Step 2
. Suppose we want make three groups of valves to run each group following one right after the oth-
er. Next move down and set the groups to 3. Press ENTER to continue.
The line “DEFINE GROUPS” is where you enable valves to be active in the appropriate group. All the valves
within a Group will water at the same time. You see the list of TWIG addresses each representing one of
your valves. You select the valve you want included in the GROUP #1. Press ENTER to make + visible. Re-
peat for all others you want to water in GROUP 1. Notice GROUP 1 is at the top of the screen.
Next press the right arrow to enable setup for the valves active in Group 2 (notice the GROUP changed to
2) then do the same for Group 3. Be sure to make the plus sign visible for all valves to be included in each
Group. When finished, press the ESC so you can see where to SAVE. You have created and saved this pro-
gram into memory. It’s that simple.
Step 3
. Let’s verify now. Rotate the dial (left) to adjust. The name of the program P2 is visible and is set “OFF”.
Step 4
. To use this new program you need to set the program to READY by pressing the ENTER and scroll
to select “READY” then press ENTER. Now the program is ready to water when you turn the dial to “RUN”.
The program will start within a few seconds. Watch the seconds countdown. The seconds are visible in pa-
renthesis. That is how you run any of your programs.
