Watering Times Per Day Options
Hours From First Start Time
2 times per day
6 hours
3 times per day
4 and 8 hours
4 times per day
3, 6 and 9 hours
Example: If the first start time for Zone 1 is programmed
for 8:00 AM and the user has selected THREE TIMES, then
the second start time will be at 12:00 PM and the third
start time will be at 4:00 PM.
For start time details see page 16.
NOTE: The Controller is designed to prevent any
!
two zones from irrigating at the same time. This
feature is called “Program Stacking”
TIP: The best way to condense the irrigation schedule
is to set each zone’s start time the same. For example: If
both Zone 1 and Zone 2 are scheduled to irrigate on the
same day and both start times are set for 8:00 AM (with a
10 minute run time), then Zone 1 would begin irrigating
at 8:00 AM and Zone 2 would begin irrigating at 8:10 AM
(after Zone 1 has stopped).
