Writing Your Program
After Programming Is Complete
Once you have completed programming your CRC-A controller, you can return it to
displaying the correct time of day as it waits in the automatic mode for the correct time
to start. To do this,
Tidbits and Items to remember:
The nine-volt, alkaline battery you supply will protect the program memory for up to 24
hours during a power outage. Without a battery, even a momentary power interruption
(fractions of a second) will cause memory loss. Studies have shown that such momen-
tary power interruptions happen many times per day in the average household. Re-
member to install a nine-volt alkaline battery to the battery clip (in the bottom compart-
ment of the controller cabinet) as noted in the installation instructions for this unit.
In the event of a long power outage completely using up your battery's power, the de-
fault program will be in effect when power resumes. This default program will automat-
ically operate a special "A" program only, and water every station of the controller
once a day for 10 minutes each. (See the DEFAULT PROGRAM section at the back of
this manual for details.)

of this manual "What time to start..." you learned how to set, how to change,
and how to add starting times for your CRC-A controller to begin a cycle. If you wish to
ELIMINATE A START TIME from a program, the procedure is quite simple. First,
press the "Program A" or "Program B" key so the controller knows which program you
desire to change. Then press the "Water Times Per Day" key one, two, or three times
until the start time you wish to eliminate appears in the display. Now press either the
"Change Time" up or "Change Time" down key until the time in the display reaches
the blank point at midnight. The start time is now eliminated.
If you were eliminating this start time and the controller was in a cycle, touch the
"Monitor While On" key to get back to a display of the cycle's progress. If the con-
troller was not operating a cycle, simply touch either the "Set Clock Hour" or "Set
