Simultaneous watering start

If you assign a separate or different station to each program with the same water days,
start times and run times, you will obtain an almost simultaneous start of all three sta-
tions.

Multiple stations and programs

If you want more than eight start times per day on a site equipped with only one valve,
you can wire the valve to several stations on a Two or Four Station Control Module
and program multiple start times for each station.

For example, if you wire the same valve to both stations on a Two Station Control
Module, you can obtain up to 16 starts (2 x 8). If you connect the same valve to three
stations on a Four Station Control Module, you can obtain up to 24 starts (3 x 8). Sta-
tions assigned to this valve, however, cannot be assigned to other valves. If you use
this method, make sure that there is no program overlap. The program run time must
be shorter than the time interval separating the two start times.

Note:

 A One Station Control Module can use only one program.

Now you can begin setting up your watering programs.

Setting the water days

You must select the days of the week that you want to water for each program. If there
is a square around the day, watering will occur on that day. If the day does not
have a square around it, watering will not occur on that day.

To set the watering days:
1. Press          repeatedly until the       icon is displayed.

Program A will also appear in the display. If you want to

select Program B or Program C, press       until the
program you desire is displayed.

2. If you do not want to water on a certain day that is set as a watering day (it has a 

square around it), press      repeatedly to advance to that day.
The day selected will blink.

3. Press       

.

to remove the square.

The square will disappear and no watering will occur on the selected day.

4. If a day you want to water does not have a square around it, press 

.     

repeatedly to 

advance to that day.
The day selected will blink.

5. Press        to place a square around the day.

A square will appear around the day and watering will take place on the selected 

day.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the days are set for the program. When you are

ready to move on to the next program, press        to change to another program.

7. When you have set the watering days for all of your programs, press          to move
