2.2 Program Start Times

Set Start Time for each program to be 

used (A, B, C and D).  If more than one 

program start time is desired, refer to 

NUM STRT, in Advanced Menu.  The 

program will start at the time you 

designate and will water all zones with 

set Zone Run Times for that program.

For most watering programs set only Start Time #1.  

The #1 Time will water all zones with Zone Run Times 

set in that program in consecutive order.  Extra start 

times will re-run all zones.  Extra start times may be 

used for new planting grow-in or other special local 

conditions.  Unused start times must be set in the 

OFF position. To set a start time at OFF, press on 

either arrow button until you reach the OFF postion 

located at midnight.

When setting program start times, check the program icon in the 

display to see whether you are working in A, B, C or D. Use PGM 

button to move between programs. Use NEXT and BACK buttons 

to move between start times. Use up and down arrow buttons to 

set each start time desired. Start times are selectable in 10-minute 

increments.

Note:

 Be sure you select the AM/PM time as desired by scrolling 

past 12. (For international users, the display will show the 24-hour 

time format instead of AM/PM.)

2.3 Zone Run Times

Your ProLine® controller will display 

remaining hours, minutes and seconds 

when a zone is watering. However, in 

this position you are only required to 

set minutes (or hours and minutes) 

for each zone as desired for operation 

time. Seconds are not selectable.
Use NEXT and BACK buttons to select 

zone for run time setting. All zones are selectable from 1 minute 

to 9 hours and 55 minutes. Run times of OFF to 59 minutes are 

selectable in one minute increments. Run times of 1 hour to 9 

hours 55 minutes are selectable in 5-minute increments. Use UP or 

DOWN arrow buttons to set flashing time values for each zone. If a 

zone is not to be used, set it to OFF.
Push PGM button to assign zone time in one or more programs. 
Caution: If an unused zone is turned on and activates a pump start 

relay, the pump may overheat or cause a pipe to burst. To prevent 

operating a pump with no flow (dead heading), make sure all 

unused zones are set to OFF.

Note:

 If display shows “0 ZONES,” this indicates 

no SLM4 modules are currently installed or have 

ever been installed under AC power with the  

control panel firmly closed.

Note: 

Run/Soak feature can reduce the need to 

set multiple start times for the purpose of  

preventing runoff. Using the combination of  

multiple start times and Run/Soak cycles can 

lead to extended watering windows since Run/Soak cycles 

are applied to each start time. See Run/Soak, Section 5.4.
