NOTE: To use Custom Plant Factors, refer to the Con-
tractor’s Manual on the Rain Bird website.
• Select the plant type for the zone.
Grass Lawns options:
The figures below show the difference between Cool and
Warm Season Varieties.
Most “Cool Season” grasses
do not spread through
runners, but rather from
actual seed that germi-
nates. Cool Season Variet-
ies usually have individual
blades that grow in a verti-
cal orientation.
Most “Warm Season” grasses
grow (spread) through
runners that branch out
horizontally from the estab-
lished lawn or from planted
stolons. In general, Warm
Season grasses go dormant
in the winter.

>> If a Grass Lawn type is selected, skip Step 2.
If a plant type other than Grass Lawn is selected:
A
Select an estimated Plant Water Need.
c b
NOTE: Increasing the Water Need (Low to High) will
increase irrigation frequency (water more often).
Decreasing Water Need will decrease irrigation fre-
quency (water less often).
B
Enter Root Depth (or accept default value for selected
plant type); then press NEXT.
c b
NOTE: Increasing the root depth will decrease irriga-
tion frequency (water less often) and increase water-
ing run times. Decreasing the root depth will increase
irrigation frequency (water more often) and decrease
run times.
>> If Grass Lawns was selected, Go to Step 8,
Enter Shade Factor.
>> For all other Plant Types, Go to Step 7,
Enter Plant Density.
Step 7. Select Plant Density
Plant Density is the relative amount of foliage (leaf surface
area and plant spacing) in the zone. This applies to all other
Plant Types (Step 6) except Grass Lawn.
• Select the appropriate plant density for the zone.
c b
NOTE: Increasing the Plant Density (Sparse to Dense)
will increase irrigation frequency (water more often).
Decreasing the Plant Density will decrease irrigation
frequency (water less often).
