5.4.1 Start Times and Automatic Program Overlap Protection
There are five start times available for each of the four programs. They are referred to as Start Time
1 through Start Time 5.
The controller can be configured, using SETUP, to allow programs to run sequentially (Stack
Mode) or run concurrently (No Stack Mode), if start times overlap with one another. Using Stack
mode the controller ensures that only one program (e.g. one station) is on at a time regardless of
conflicting start times. The next program(s) will wait for completion of the currently executing
program before it will start the execution of the next program. The following examples describe
STACK operations.
EXAMPLE:
Program 1 is one hour in duration, based on the stations and watering times selected.
Three start times are set, all at 7:00 AM. The controller will water three times, first from 7:00AM
to 8:00AM, second from 8:00AM to 9:00AM and finally from 9:00AM to 10:00AM.
EXAMPLE:
Program 1 is one hour in duration, with a start time of 7:00 AM Monday. Program 3
has a start time of 7:30 AM on Monday and 7:30 AM on Tuesday. On Monday Program 1 would
run starting at 7:00 AM and Program 3 would run at the completion of Program 1 or 8:00 AM.
However, on Tuesday Program 3 would start at 7:30 AM.
The Stack operation ensures that you will always get the number of watering cycles you have
programmed and the system will never be under-pressurized because two programs are running
simultaneously.
NOTE:
The controller is shipped with Stack mode on. The controller may be
programmed so that multiple programs can be run simultaneously (No
Stack mode). See SETUP for details.

Program watering to start at 7:10 AM and 4:30 PM,
