the interval option, you have the flexibility to tell the controller
what day to start the interval program on (up to 30 days out).
To water on an interval use the + / - buttons to choose the
number days you would like to water.
ODD/EVEN tells the controller to water on either the odd or
even days of the month (i.e., the controller will water on the
31st and the 1st when an ODD schedule is chosen).
An "O" or "E" will be illuminated on the left hand side of the
LCD to indicate Odd or Even schedule. Use the + or – button
to select "O" to water every Odd day or "E" to water every
Even day.
3.2.3 Set % Water Budget
Turn the Set dial to the % WATER BUDGET and the Select dial to
the RUN ALL position. The default is set at 100%, which means
that the 8024 will water for 100% of the time you entered in the
Zone Runtime position. To adjust the watering percentage press
the + or – button until you have selected the percentage of your
choice for that program. At or above 110%, the program will run
as a split cycle, which means it will run each zone for 1/2 of its
scheduled time and then run the remaining 1/2 after the last zone
has completed its cycle. For example, if you set a zone runtime for
10 minutes and set the watering budget for 200%, you will actually
water for 20 minutes in two 10 minute intervals, which is a split
cycle.
