Setting the Steps for Each
Program
You can set between 1 to 100 individual
Steps
for
each
Program
. Each
Step
contains decoders (which
operate valves) and
run times
. You can have up to
10 decoders running at the same time, as long as
the hydraulics in your system can handle it. The
controller prevents you from including more than
10 decoders for each
Step
.
Completed
Steps
could look like this:

In this example, the
Program
begins with
Step
1,
activating
Decoders
T1, T2 and T3 and running the
valves (
run time
) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes,
Decoders
T1, T2 and T3 switch off and
Step
2
begins. It continues until all the
Steps
are done.
Note:
You may include the same decoder in as
many
Steps
as you want.
Note:
If you want to stop irrigation between
Steps
,
you can set up a
Step
without naming a decoder.
To do this, simply program in a
Run Time
, or how
long you wish to
Pause
the irrigation
Schedule
.
