2.0 Getting Acquainted With Your SmartWire SL9600TW Controller
to operate concurrently. The display will alternately show all
programs while the concurrent schedules are running. Program
D is normally used for micro irrigation with low flow and long run
times. Sprinkler zones should be assigned to A, B, or C.
Care must be taken when programming. In order to not exceed
your irrigation system's hydraulic capacity, double check the
strength of your piping and points of connection. Exceeding this
capacity could lead to fault indications and interrupted irrigation
schedules. The electrical capacity is 1500 mA or approximately
6 irrigation solenoids. A pump start relay may require more
mA than a solenoid. Keep aware of these boundaries when
scheduling programs to initiate and operate simultaneously.
START MANUAL PROGRAM Button: Press
to initiate a watering operation when the
programming dial is set to the RUN position.
The SmartLine® controller will run Program
A. Or, you can push the PGM button before
you push the START MANUAL PROGRAM button to select the
program you want to run. You can use the NEXT button to
advance to other zones in a program that you have started. Start
Manual Program will override any omits or delays.
Display With Program Running:
When a program is running, the
screen will display: program that
is operating; zone number that is
operating; and run time remaining. An ORANGE LED indicates
program is in PAUSE mode waiting for a programmed delay in
the controller to expire (run/soak, master valve delay, zone to
zone delay, omit time). The display will show the reason for the
pause.
Display With Dial In SYSTEM OFF
Position: When the SmartLine®
controller dial is in the SYSTEM
OFF position, the processor and
clock continue to operate and all program values are retained
in the non-volatile memory. In the SYSTEM OFF position no
automatic watering will occur. The Mode Selection LED will
display red when controller is turned to SYSTEM OFF.
If you move the dial to any position other than RUN or SYSTEM
OFF, and there is no control panel activity for 1 hour, the
controller will return to the RUN mode, and the display screen
will show the idle default screen or will return to a program in
progress that was interrupted.
Watering Mode Button: Used
to select SMART or BASIC
watering. During normal
operation the MODE LED will
display GREEN. It will change to ORANGE during a pause in
operation and will display RED when SmartLine® controller dial is
turned to SYSTEM OFF.
Note: No watering will take place when the RAIN/
FREEZE SENSING LED is RED. This indicates a
Rain, Freeze or other type sensor has tripped,
and programs are prevented from running. An
ORANGE MODE LED means watering is paused
temporarily due to: run/soak, master valve delay, zone to
zone delay, or omit time. A program in operation will also
pause if you turn the dial to any position other than RUN or
SYSTEM OFF. The program in operation will resume when
you return the dial to RUN or if there is no programming
activity for 30 minutes.
