Modes of Operation
The Lynx SmartHub can be placed in three operating modes: Central, Local, and Off. In all three modes, the SmartHub
will accept communications from Lynx
®
. Select the mode of operation by pressing
Satellite Settings
and selecting
Comm Mode
. Select from the three modes using the Input Dial
.
Central Mode
- When placed in Central mode, the SmartHub will water from irrigation lists, not programs. Irrigation
lists are downloaded from the central; programs are not. Programs can be entered from the faceplate in all three modes,
but will only water in Local mode. Central mode also allows Lynx to change most settings. If communication between
central and SmartHub is interrupted for more than one hour, the Central Mode LED indicator will start flashing until
communication is reestablished.
Local Mode
- When placed in Local mode, the SmartHub will water from irrigation programs but not from lists. In Local
mode, the SmartHub allows the central to set the date and time, but not affect programs or other settings that impact
watering.
Off Mode
- When placed in Off mode, the SmartHub will not execute any watering operation whether it is program or
manually initiated. Any watering operation will terminate once the SmartHub is placed in Off mode. Watering operations
will resume once the SmartHub is placed back to Central or Local mode. In Off mode, the SmartHub will allow the
central to edit time, date and operation mode but will not allow modification of settings affecting irrigation programs.
General Editing
Pressing a menu key on the Lynx SmartHub will display menu items. Items with fields containing values that can be edited
are called Entry Fields. Use the Arrow Keys
to navigate through the menus and entry fields. Modify
any selected value by scrolling through the selection using the Input Dial
. Values will be saved automatically
when you exit an entry field or press another menu key. Pressing the HOME
button will also save any modification
and revert back to Home display.
If no keypad activity is detected within five minutes, the SmartHub will automatically save any modifications and revert
back to Home display.
