Multi-Manual Station Activation Directions
Manual station activation example: Activate stations 1–12 with a runtime of 5 minutes each and limit watering to 3
stations simultaneously.
The Multi-Manual function is limited to the maximum simultaneous station settings of the SmartHub. In cases
where a program is running and a multi-manual activated, the SmartHub will activate all stations specified in the
multi-manual in addition to the currently activated stations. Thus, the multi-manual will allow the SmartHub to
exceed the maximum simultaneous station settings.

When reviewing the Multi-Manual program by pressing the Manual Watering button, the display removes the stations
that watered or are currently watering from the list.
Modifying the Multi-manual appends the added stations to the currently running manual operation. Currently running
stations are not affected. The SmartHub runs the stations in sequential order, disregarding the order in which the
stations were entered.
