Grow In Irrigation Program Setting: Grow In Irrigation Program example: Create program 3 with stations 21–30 for 5 minutes each with no percent adjustment. Set the start time at 6:30 am and the end time at 4:00 pm. Set the delay for 2 hours and 15 minutes and the maximum simultaneous active station to 5.
Manual Watering The Manual Watering functions are used for additional watering if the irrigation program is not sufficient. They can also be used to troubleshoot each station for proper operation. Pressing the Manual Watering Key will access three manual irrigation functions; Multi-Manual, Syringe and Program. M-Manual - Select M-Manual to activate a station or group of stations with a specified runtime.
Syringe - Choose Syringe to activate all the stations in a selected irrigation program for a specified runtime. Note: The Maximum number of simultaneous stations set in the program still applies. Manual Syringe Activation Directions Syringe activation example: Manually activate all the stations in Program 3 for 2 minutes each. Note: An irrigation program must be configured to activate Manual Syringe.
% (Percent) Adjust The percent adjust function allows you to fine tune irrigation programs. With weather conditions changing constantly, Percent Adjust allows you to tune your system easily without changing all the values in the program. Important: The settings do not override each other, instead, they multiple each other to get the effective adjustment. Example: Controller is set at 150%, Program is set at 125% and Station is set at 90%.
Pause / Resume Key The Pause command is used to suspend active program or manual irrigation. The Pause function allows the user to specify the pause duration. Pause / Resume Function Directions Pause function example: Program 01 has been manually activated. Pause program 01 for 30 minutes. 1.
