Delay Watering
Delay watering if irrigation is not
required due to rain, yard repairs,
planned party, or any other reason you
want to delay watering.
Automatic irrigation can be suspended for a period of up to
14 days even if no optional rain sensor is installed. After the
delay expires, automatic irrigation resumes as scheduled.

SPECIAL FEATURE AVAILABLE
If an optional rain sensor is installed, automatic irrigation
will suspend if the sensor detects rainfall. When Rain Sensor
is set to
BYPASS
all programs will ignore the rain sensor.
The sensor bypass setting applies to all programs and is
not program specific. However, you can set any station to
Bypass (Ignore) the sensor. Those stations set to ignore
will not be affected by the rain sensor. This is common
for areas that require watering regardless of rain fall. An
example is plant material located under a covered area. For
more details, see Bypass Rain Sensor For Any Station in the
Special Features section.
