"stack"  the 2nd start and delay it until the previous cycle is completed.

V - Water Budget.

The controller has a Water Budget function used to adjust watering time for both programs from 0 to 200%

without re-setting time for each station. A setting of 100% means that all stations will run according to their

programmed watering time. The Water Budget feature can be useful for cutting back watering during cool

winter months, or for increasing watering during periods of unusual heat. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to

increase or decrease the watering time in 10% increments.

Example : "80%" in the display means you have reduced watering time by 20% on all stations. An initial

duration of 10 minutes, wich you previously programmed will be cut to 8 minutes. The increased or

decreased run time will not appear in the step IV

display. Howether, the step I

display shows the

% icon to indicate that the Water Budget is being used.

Keep in mind that the percentage you set applies to all stations for both programs.

To turn off the Water Budget, call up the % display and set the percentage to 100%.

Watering starts and is indicated on the screen by a blinking sprinkler stream. The display counts down the

The blinking stream disappears.
