Controller Programming Chart
Before programming your Ec controller, fill out the
Programming Chart included with your controller. Then
program the controller in the order shown on the Programming
Checklist.
1. Select the watering day cycle you wish to use, and circle
the watering days within the cycle. In the example shown for
program A, the operator has chosen a 7-day watering cycle
and circled M, W, and F as watering days. This means that
program A will water every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
NOTE : If you plan to use only one program for
your watering needs, select program A.
2. For program B, the operator selected a 3-day watering
cycle. With these selections, program B will water once,
skip two days, and then water again on the first day of a new
three day cycle.
3. You may also choose three special watering day cycles that
do not require you to select watering days. These cycles are:
•
Ev = Waters only on even-numbered days of the month.
•
Od = Waters only on odd-numbered days of the month.
