PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Set Start Times
A START TIME is the time of day a program will start running. The EZ Pro
allows four start times per program.
Turn the large dial to the START TIMES position. Press SELECT +- to select
the start time you want to set (1, 2, 3, or 4). Press ADJUST +- to set the time
of day the program will start. Repeat as needed.
Start Time Stacking
The EZ Pro will stack start times if your program watering times overlap another
start time. The additional start time will begin when the first cycle finishes.
Set % Water Budget
% WATER BUDGET changes the duration of run times in a program by the
percentage entered 0 - 200% (i.e., a 10 minute run time at 50% water budget will
run 5 minutes). This feature is useful when changes in weather occur. If it is
unusually dry, you may want to extend your run time for each zone in a program.
With % Water Budget, you can change one number, and all run times in the program
are adjusted. If 24 hours of run time is exceeded 24hr will flash on the LCD
Turn the large dial to the % WATER BUDGET position. A % symbol will appear on
the LCD to let you know you are working on the % Water Budget amount. Press
ADJUST +- to choose the desired percentage amount.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
If % WATER BUDGET is set for 110% or greater, the EZ Pro will split the run time
in half to reduce runoff. Half of the calculated run time will operate for each
zone in that program, followed by the second half of the run time for each zone.
Remember, % WATER BUDGET is changeable by program. If you have programming in
A, B, and C, you must enter three water budget values if you want every program
to be changed.
Set Water Budget by Month (Advanced feature)
The EZ Pro allows you to set % WATER BUDGET by month. This feature allows you to
customize your program by month over the year to allow for hot dry months and
cooler wetter months.
Turn the large dial to the % WATER BUDGET position. Press and hold SELECT+ and
SELECT – together for 2 seconds. Use the SELECT +- to select months 1-12. Use
the ADJUST +- to choose the desired percentage amount from 0-200. If 0 is
chosen no watering will take place in that month.
Set the Watering Schedule
A quick note on scheduling and the EZ Pro. The EZ Pro controller has three
scheduling options:
WATER DAYS, or daily, lets you choose which days of the week you want to
water (i.e., Monday, Wednesday, Friday only).
ODD/EVEN tells the controller to water on either the odd or even days of
the month (i.e., the controller will water on the 31st and the 1st when an ODD
schedule is chosen).
INTERVAL waters every X number of days (from 1 to 30 days) (i.e., water
every 3 days, waters every 10 days, etc.). A value of 1 in an interval schedule
means to water every day. When using the interval option, you have the
flexibility to tell the controller what day to start the interval program on (up
to 30 days out).
