OFF position no automatic watering will occur. The Mode Selection LED will
display red when controller is turned to SYSTEM OFF.
If you move the dial to any position other than RUN or SYSTEM OFF, and there is no control panel activity for
1 hour, the controller will return to the RUN mode, and the display screen will show the idle default screen
or will return to a program in progress that was interrupted.
Watering Mode Button: Used to select SMART or BASIC watering.
During normal operation the MODE LED will display GREEN. It will
change to ORANGE during a pause in operation and will display RED
when SmartLine® controller dial is turned to SYSTEM OFF.
Rain/Freeze Sensing Button: Used to activate or bypass optional
sensors for rain, freeze, or wind. If these sensors are connected to your
SmartLine® controller, they will override watering operations if the ON
LED is selected. If your sensor/s have paused your system operation, the ON LED will be RED until the
sensors allow watering to resume. In the event of a “rain” pause, the LED will change from RED to
ORANGE for an additional pause time before the LED displays GREEN and system operation resumes. Smart
Watering de cits will decrement to 0 at the rate of 1″ per hour. The sensor LED will display GREEN again
when the sensor/s are no longer pausing your system operation.
Note: No watering will take place when the RAIN/FREEZE SENSING LED is RED. This indicates a Rain,
Freeze or other type sensor has tripped, and programs are prevented from running. An ORANGE
MODE LED means watering is paused temporarily due to: run/soak, master valve delay, zone to zone
delay, or omit time. A program in operation will also pause if you turn the dial to any position other
than RUN or SYSTEM OFF. The program in operation will resume when you return the dial to RUN or
if there is no programming activity for 60 minutes.
Note: The SLW Delay dryout period is factory set for 48 hours. To change the delay period, see SLW
in Advanced Menu.
If you wish to deactivate the sensors, use the RAIN/ FREEZE SENSING button to light the green OFF LED.
Example: You wish to water after fertilizing and your rain sensor is still pausing the watering program. As
long as the OFF LED is on, the sensors will not pause your system operation. Note: You may have zones you
want to omit from rain/freeze shutdown. Example: Potted plants under cover. If you are using an SLW
Weather Sensor or the RFS5 rain/freeze sensor communicating with your controller through an SLHUB,
see SLW in Advanced Menu for instructions. If you are using a rain/freeze sensor connected to your
controller at the SEN terminals, see SENSOR in Advanced Menu for instructions.
Note: The RAIN/FREEZE SENSING button can be used to bypass rain and freeze sensors.
