Setting the start times

You can set up to eight start times for each program, but it is not necessary for you to
use all eight start times with each program. After you enter all the start times, the
transmitter will automatically organize the start times in chronological order, from
00:00 to 23:59 or 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM.

To set the start time:
1. Make certain the      icon is visible on the display.

If it is not, press        repeatedly to cycle through the
menu system and display the      icon.

2. Press      repeatedly until the program you desire (A, B, or C) appears in the dis-
play.
3. Use       and      to set the first start time.
4. Press      to move to the next start time.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set all of the start times you desire (up to eight 

per program) for the program.

6. If you would like to set start times for additional programs, press       until the pro

gram you desire is displayed. Then repeat steps 3 and 4.

7. When you have finished setting the start times, press         to move to the      icon, 

Setting the Watering Time Length display.

Deleting a start time

To delete a start time:
1. Press        to advance to the      icon.

2. Press      to change to the appropriate program.

3. Press      to scroll through the start times and decide which one to delete (the start 

times will be in chronological order).

4. Again, scroll through the start times and pause on the start time just before the time 

you wish to delete.

5. Press and hold     . The start time will flash momentarily on the display, signaling its 

cancellation, and then change to --.--.

Note:

 

It is a common misunderstanding that a start time of 00:00 is “off.” It is 

actually a midnight start time. An “off” time is indicated by --.-- in the display.

Setting the run time per station

You can set the run time for each station from 0 to 12 hours (in one minute incre-
ments). All One Station Control Modules must be programmed on station 1. Multi-
station Control Modules (Two Station and Four Station) must be programmed starting
on station 1. For example, on a Four Station Control Module, programming would start
on station 1, then station 2, 3 and 4.
