9.0 Programming for Smart Watering Mode
the 2.0 in/hr setting. For international users, the controller will
display precipitation numbers in centimeters per hour. As a rule
in SMART mode, the lower the precipitation rate entered, the
longer the zone run time will be to achieve required plant life
needs. For zones selected to use set Zone Run Times rather
than SMART run times, select STD setting Sprinkler Type.
Program features and operations are supported with STD zones,
including Run/Soak, and STD zones may run within SMART
programs or separately.
9.2.2 Plant Type for Zones
This position is used to specify the
type of plant material to be watered by
each zone as an important component
of determining the watering needs
for each zone. Use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select plant type or percent
for each zone. Press NEXT and BACK
buttons to access each zone. Plant
type selections are: CTurf (cool turf
like bluegrass); WTurf (warm turf
like St. Augustine); Shrubs; Annuals
(floral beds); Trees; and Native
plants. The SmartLine® controller
formula uses cool turf mowed at 4
to 6 inches tall as the base watering
number (100%) or crop factor. The
cool turf default is 80% considering
average mowing heights of 2 to
3 inches, which result in less transpiration and lower water
requirements. If you prefer more specific input, you can scroll
past the plant types and use % designations of 10 to 300%. For
example, a Native plant zone might be assigned 30% rather the
default of 25%. As a rule in SMART mode, the higher the plant
type percentage entered, the longer the zone run time will be to
achieve required plant life needs.
For maximum water savings, it is recommended that your
sprinkler system be zoned with a separate valve for each type
of plant material. If you have mixed types of plants in a single
zone, you will need to select which type of plant to use in the
determination of water requirements.
9.2.3 Soil Type for Zones
Soil settings for soil type and degree of slope are used to
enable your SmartLine® controller to automatically calculate
the maximum length of a zone run
time before pausing watering for a
calculated period to allow the water
to soak into the soil. These Run/Soak
(also called Cycle/Soak) periods based
on industry BASIC formulas reduce
wasteful runoff caused by watering
more than the soil can absorb.
The Run/Soak feature included in
Advanced Menu can be manually
entered for use with the BASIC
mode. However, in the SMART
mode, the SmartLine® controller
will automatically calculate Run/
Soak times with soil inputs made
at the soil type position on the
dial. Run/Soak settings made in
Advanced Menu are not active
when controller is in SMART
mode. Smart calculated run/soak schedules can be viewed by
selecting Advanced Menu, Review and Run/Soak.
