•
WITHIN PROGRAM:
This section allows
you to choose the amount of valves that you
want to set as a limit to come on at a time
within a program.
•
WITHIN CONTROLLER:
This section
allows you to choose the amount of valves
that you want to set as a limit to come on at
a time within the controller.
The range for these two settings are:
•
1 - 4:
This choice allows the user to set the
limit of stations operating simultaneously
from a single up to four valves within the
given program.
Note:
This is unless you are using
FLOWSENSE
®.
See Section 11 (-FL)
FLOWSENSE
®
for more
details.
•
X:
This choice allows the user to set the
controller so that it irrigates to your system
capacity, or electrical limit.
Example:
Within Program Within Controller
Program A 1 2
Program B 1 2
This example allows the user to set up one (1) valve
on at a time for Programs A and B. The controller
will allow both Programs to have one (1) valve each
run simultaneously for a total of two (2) on within
controller.
Example:
Within Program Within Controller
Program A 1 1
Program B 3 3
This example allows the user to set up one (1) valve
on at a time for Programs A. The controller will only
allow one valve to operate while program A is
running. Program B is set up to operate 3 valves on
at a time, and will only operate up to three valves
when Program B is running.
