Performing Manual Starts and Stops

Important:

 

Before you perform manual starts and stops, you must verify the 

status of the Control Module’s irrigation status. See Verifying the On-off 
Mode, on page 9 (previous page).

Note: 

The manual functions described below override all other functions 

(except On-off); any program currently running will be suspended to permit 
their use. Manual starts and stops only affect an existing station run time or 
program.

Important:

 

Manual operations will not work if the On-off Mode is activated.

Starting a Control Module manually

You can perform either a single-station or a cycle (multi-station) manual start. Before
carrying out either type of manual start, make sure you have programmed a run time
of at least one minute and that the Control Module’s On-off Mode is not activated.

Performing a manual single-station start

If you would like to manually start one station:

1. Press         until the       icon is displayed.

The station number will also be displayed.

2. Press       to stop any stations that may be watering. If a station is in operation, a 

manual start is impossible. A station may be in operation at the module level, but 
without any irrigation in the field. This is what occurs when the Rain Shut-off De

vice prevents programmed irrigation.

3. Press       until the station you would like to start is displayed.

4. To start a station, press       . Irrigation will start after 20 seconds if you are using an 

old type Control Module. If you are using a new type Control Module (a Control 
Module with a yellow wire loop), irrigation will start after 10 seconds.

5. If you wish to stop watering before the programmed time is up, press       .

Performing a manual cycle start

If you are using an old type Control Module, the
manual cycle start option is only available on the
Two and Four Station Control Modules. If you are
using a new type Control Module (a Control Module
with a yellow wire loop), the manual cycle start option
is available on all Control Modules (One, Two and Four
Stations). The cycle consists of all of the stations operating
in sequential order.

To manually perform a cycle start:

1. Press         until the            icon is displayed.

Prog A, B or C also appears in the display.
