PROGRAMMABLE SENSOR OVERRIDE
ICC2 allows the user to program the controller so a sensor
response is independent from station to station. This feature
allows the sensor to disable watering for only the desired
stations (as opposed to the entire system). For example, patio
gardens or other landscapes that are underneath overhangs
or roofs may not receive water when it rains, and will still need
to be watered during periods of rain.
Note: The controller default setting is to “ON,” which means
the sensor is active and will disable watering on all zones once
the sensor is triggered.
1.
With the dial in the Run position, press and hold the –
button, turn the dial to the Start Times position, and
release the – button.
2.
The display will show the station number, and “ON” will be
flashing. Press the + and – buttons to enable or disable the
sensor for the station shown.
ON = sensor enabled (will suspend irrigation)
OFF = sensor disabled (will allow watering)
3.
Use the ► and ◄ buttons to scroll to the next desired
station for Sensor Override.
4.
Rotate the dial back to the Run position when finished
programming all Sensor Overrides.
CYCLE AND SOAK
The Cycle and Soak feature allows you to split a station’s run
time into cyclical, shorter watering durations. This feature is
useful when applying water to slopes and tight soils because it
automatically slows the application of water by irrigating with
multiple shorter cycles, as opposed to one long run time. This
helps to prevent runoff and excessive watering.
To do this, you should enter the Cycle time as a fraction of the
station’s total desired watering time, and the Soak time as
the minimum amount of time required before watering can
occur again for the next cycle. The total number of cycles is
determined by taking the total programmed station run time,
and dividing it by the Cycle time.
For example, station 1 requires 20 minutes of watering, but
after 5 minutes, runoff occurs. However, after 10 minutes,
all water is absorbed into the soil. The solution would be to
program 20 minutes for the station Run Time, 5 minutes for
the Cycle time, and 10 minutes for the Soak time. This would
create 4 separate cycles of watering, with 5 minutes per cycle,
and 10 minutes of soak time in between watering.
However, if there are stations programmed to run after
station 1, the Cycle and Soak process won’t complete until
the end of all scheduled zones. This means that after station
1 runs its first cycle, the controller will proceed sequentially
in numerical order until all programmed stations complete
their run times. Then, the program will revert to station 1 and
complete its remaining cycle and soak schedule.
1.
To access the Cycle and Soak menu, with the dial in the
RUN position, press and hold the + button, turn the dial to
the Run Times position, and release the + button.
2.
Initially, station 1 will be displayed. To access other
stations, press the ► or ◄ buttons. Once the desired station
is shown, use the + and – buttons to increase or decrease
the Cycle time. The user can set the Cycle time from 1
minute up to 4 hours, or OFF if no Cycle and Soak
is desired.
Note: When setting both Cycle and Soak times, any times less
than 1 hour will only display the minutes (e.g., 30). For times
greater than 1 hour, the display will change to include the hour
digit (e.g., 2:45).
