Setting Up a Program
There are four program settings available with the ESP-MC: A, B, C, and D. You can
set each program to operate according to your specifications. When you set up a pro-
gram, you:
•
select the program,
•
choose a cycle setting for the program, and
•
assign stations and set the station’s watering durations and start times.
Note:
It is easier to select a program and program it completely. Jumping from pro-
gram to program can be confusing.
