Rain Delay
After heavy rain it may be appropriate to delay the start of
the automatic watering schedules for a few days. Turn
the dial to “OFF” and press the
button.
The display will show:
This means that the automatic watering schedules will
be delayed for 24 hours.
Tip:
Leave the dial in the “OFF” position, and at the end of the
24 hour delay the controller will automatically revert back
to the clock in the display and the next automatic watering
schedule will take place.
Tip:

The delay is in 24 hour increments and can be set up
to 240 hours using the
button. Each time the
button is pressed another 24 hours delay will be
added.

The display will count down every hour.

To clear the delay, turn the dial from “OFF” position
to “Auto Run” position.

turn
the dial to the
Off
position.
Tip: for automatic watering remember to
turn
the dial
back to the
Auto Run
position, as the

Stacking Start Times
Should you accidently set the same watering start time
on more than one program, the Controller will stack them
in sequential order from the lowest number. All
programmed start times will be watered, but the start
times will be shunted along.
Automatic BackUp Program
When the battery is not fitted or is flat there is a backup
default program in program 1 watering every day at
12:00am for 10 minutes per station.
A standard 9 volt alkaline block battery should be fitted to
the battery snap supplied to maintain the clock accuracy
and hold the automatic programs during power outs.
Tip: The display has a warning indicator to let you know
when the battery is low or not fitted. The word
BAT
appears just under the AM / PM indicator when the clock
is shown.
