HOW TO PROGRAM THE
CONTROLLER FOR WATERING
To set up a regular watering schedule, follow the steps below. This
section covers the following topics:
l
Developing a watering plan
l
Erasing any prior programs
l
Selecting the clays to water
l
Programming the cycle start
l
Setting the watering duration for each station
DEVELOPING A WATERING PLAN
Four watering programs are available. Each program can be used for
separate watering requirements. For example, you might use one
program t o water the lawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and another
program to water trees and shrubs once a week.
The controller is pre-programmed with a 7-day calender. The calendar
can be changed to a different number of days, such as a 14-day calendar
(see the section on advanced features, page 3 1). The examples in this
section assume a 7-day calendar.
WHAT IS A WATERING CYCLE?
Each watering cycle waters all the stations in a program in sequence.
For example, in the sample watering plan shown on page 12, program 1
has three watering cycles. Therefore, all six stations in the program are
watered three times each day, first starting at 2
A.M.
then at 6
A.M.,
and
again at 5
P.M.
PLANNING THE WATERING CYCLES
Before you program a watering schedule, decide how to
USC
each
program. The chart on page 12 shows a sample watering plan. The
sample watering plan illustrates the following important concepts:
l
Number of watering cycles available
l
Planning station placement
l
Planning a delay between valve openings
