6.0 USInG ThE MAnUAl COnTROl fUnCTIOn
Valves can be opened and closed manually by using Manual Control in the SETUP dial position. It is a good
way to test & verify that all the valves work.
6.1 ExAMPlE Of MAnUAl COnTROllER OPERATIOn:
First make sure the watering dial is set to OFF or PAUSE otherwise Manual Control doesn’t work. Also when
using manual control be sure there is a good relief valve in place to keep pressure below the range that
could damage the irrigation system.
Turn the display dial to SETUP and scroll down to CONTROL SOURCE and verify that it is set to TD200
otherwise the Manual Control will not appear on the menu list. Then place the marker on the Manual Control
line. You then press ENTER to enable manual valve operation.
You see the list of all TWIG addresses each representing one of your valves. Select the valve you want by
scrolling to the appropriate TWIG address line. Press ENTER to make the + visible. This signals the valve to
open. The command will be sent after the few seconds of time has elapsed. You can watch the time until it
switches on countdown on the screen.
CAUTION when doing manual control! It is essential you be familiar with your irrigation system and pumps.
By using Manual Control you can turn many valves on. Be cautious! It is good to limit the flow in the
system. Damage to the pump or pipes can occur if you make extreme changes to the system flow capacity.
Especially be careful shutting off a lot of valves at once. If you need help be sure to ask from someone that
knows your irrigation system.
Be aware! When the TD200 selector dial is rotated away from SETUP all valves that may
have been turned on using Manual Control will go off!
