Performing Manual Starts and Stops
Important:
Before you perform manual starts and stops, you must verify the
status of the Control Module’s irrigation status. See Verifying the On-off
Mode, on page 9 (previous page).
Note:
The manual functions described below override all other functions
(except On-off); any program currently running will be suspended to permit
their use. Manual starts and stops only affect an existing station run time or
program.
Important:
Manual operations will not work if the On-off Mode is activated.
Starting a Control Module manually
You can perform either a single-station or a cycle (multi-station) manual start. Before
carrying out either type of manual start, make sure you have programmed a run time
of at least one minute and that the Control Module’s On-off Mode is not activated.
Performing a manual single-station start
If you would like to manually start one station:
1. Press until the icon is displayed.
The station number will also be displayed.
2. Press to stop any stations that may be watering. If a station is in operation, a
manual start is impossible. A station may be in operation at the module level, but
without any irrigation in the field. This is what occurs when the Rain Shut-off De
vice prevents programmed irrigation.
3. Press until the station you would like to start is displayed.
4. To start a station, press . Irrigation will start after 20 seconds if you are using an
old type Control Module. If you are using a new type Control Module (a Control
Module with a yellow wire loop), irrigation will start after 10 seconds.
5. If you wish to stop watering before the programmed time is up, press .
Performing a manual cycle start
If you are using an old type Control Module, the
manual cycle start option is only available on the
Two and Four Station Control Modules. If you are
using a new type Control Module (a Control Module
with a yellow wire loop), the manual cycle start option
is available on all Control Modules (One, Two and Four
Stations). The cycle consists of all of the stations operating
in sequential order.
To manually perform a cycle start:
1. Press until the icon is displayed.
Prog A, B or C also appears in the display.
