Delay Between Valves
Set a delay between stations for all programs.
d
SPECIAL FEATURE AVAILABLE
After a station has completed watering, the start of the
next station can be delayed for a set period of time ranging
from 2 seconds to 9 hours (the default value is 0 seconds).
This ensures that a valve has completely closed before the
next one opens.

NOTE
: Some valves may take a long time to
mechanically close. Opening a valve before another
valve has completely closed could cause a loss in
hydraulic pressure in the system. The Master Valve
(MV) output obeys the inter-station delay as well.
