FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS .......................................................................................

1. WHY DOES MY SYSTEM CONTINUE TO CYCLE THROUGH

OVER AND OVER?

You may have too many start times entered. Only one start time is

needed to run a program. See section titled “Start Times.”

2. DO I NEED A START TIME FOR EVERY STATION?

No! You only need one start time per program. The program runs

sequentially, so the proceeding station will automatically start

when the previous station is finished, no need for additional start

times. Multiple start times are utilized when you desire to water an

entire program more that once in a 24-hour period.

3. WHY ARE THERE THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS (A, B, AND C)?

These three programs exist for a variety of reasons. Since custom

ers needs vary from each location, it is important to make sure

that even the largest landscapes can be properly irrigated. Most

consumers can fulfill their needs with a single program and a

single start time, but others who have a variety of different plant

life may need more than one program and several start times. See

the section “Programming Fundamentals” for more information.

4. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROGRAMS A, B AND C?

They all have the same features and functions. Three programs

give you the option to have several different types of plants wa

tered at different days and times. See “Programming Fundamen-

tals” for more information.

5. WHY IS THE

ON “MO” EVERY TIME I TURN THE DIAL TO

“WATER DAYS”?

The

always flashes on MO when you turn the dial to this posi-

tion. When finished setting the days you want, turn the dial to any

position. When you go back to WATER DAYS you will see the lit

over the days you have chosen.

6. AN INDIVIDUAL STATION WON’T SHUT OFF. WHAT DO I DO?

When one particular station is stuck on, you want to shut off the

controller by turning the dial to the off position. If the station

is still running, you will need to shut off the main water supply

to the sprinkler system. Most likely there is a valve stuck open,

caused by debris in the valve. A loose solenoid or loose valve cap

may also be the problem. Check these connections or call your

contractor for assistance.
