Rain Master RME HAWK, User Manual

Page: 38 / 72

EXAMPLE: You wish to set all stations from 12 through 34 for a runtime of 1 hr and
56 mins and maximum time of 20 mins and a soak time of 15 mins. (You must have
previously set, via Setup, the program for which you are entering information, to a cycle
and soak program.)
Press:
(controller will momentarily display “RUN TIME”)
(controller will momentarily display “MAX TIME”)
(controller will momentarily display “SOAK TIME”)
The controller goes back to Automatic Mode
Note: The maximum time and/or soak time entered will be used for the stations in the
block for all cycle and soak programs and not just for the one being entered.
PERCENTAGE
The Percentage function provides for simple water budgeting by providing an easy method
of increasing/decreasing the runtimes of ALL stations in a program with one simple entry.
It is particularly useful during abnormally dry/hot/cold or wet periods.
The Percentage is set to 100 in all four programs by default, therefore, unless changed,
each station in a program will run for 100% of its programmed time. Percentage may
be set from 0 to 300%, in increments as small as 1%, for Programs 1, 2, 3 and 4
independently.
For instance, setting the Percentage in a program to 161 will make the runtime of each
station 1.61 times its programmed runtime. Setting the Percentage to 70 will make the
runtime 0.70 times its programmed runtime.
Note: Even if Percentage is set to other than 100, the watering lengths of all stations in
a program will not be changed when you view them. At all times, the length
shown is the originally programmed length corresponding to 100%. However, the run
time will be modified when the station waters.
Note: For a cycle and soak program the Percentage only applies to the runtimes and not
to the maximum watering times or soak times.
