How to use two programs in your sprinkler system

More often than not, different areas of your yard need different amounts of water. For
example, a station watering in a shady area should apply less water than stations op-
erating in sunny areas. Shrubs require less frequent watering than lawns while tropical
plants require more watering. Drip irrigation needs long but infrequent watering.

Dual programs permit your stations to be assigned to one or both programs. Each pro-
gram is completely separate, watering its own days, its own times and its own dura-
tions.

Here's some suggestions on how to divide your yard by watering need:

Program A

Program C

Backyard

Frontyard

Sunny areas

Shady areas

Lawn areas

Shrub areas

Flat areas

Hilly areas

Normal sprinklers Drip irrigation

Note: Because program "A" is preset at the factory we recommend setting program "A"
first as your primary program and then set program "C."
