Water Budget
The controller has a Water Budget function used to adjust watering time
for both programs from 0 to 200% without re-setting time for each station. A
setting of 100% means that all stations will r un according to their
programmed watering time. The Water Budget feature can be useful for
cutting back watering during cool winter months, or for increasing watering
during periods of unusual heat.
Use the +/On and -/Off keys to increase or decrease the watering time in
10% increments.
Example : "80" in the display means you have reduced watering time by 20%
on all stations. An initial duration of 10 minutes which you previously
programmed will be cut to 8 minutes. The increased or decreased run time
will not appear in the
display. However, the controller status screen (8)
display shows the % icon to indicate that the Water Budget is being used.
Keep in mind that the percentage you set applies to all stations on both
programs.
• To turn off the Water Budget, call up the % display and set the percentage
to 100.

Manual single station start
The station number appears in the upper left hand corner
(example : station 2).
Use the
key to display the other stations.
Example : to manually start station 2, press the
key until number 2
appears. Then press +/On. Watering starts and is indicated on the screen by a
blinking sprinkler stream. The display counts down the remaining
programmed watering time (example : 12 minutes) in 1-minute increments. If
you wish to stop watering before the programmed time is completed, press the
-/Off key. The blinking stream disappears. NOTE: Water Budgeting does not
operate in the manual single station mode.
