This section shows you how to set up a watering schedule for each Zone in your yard. Scheduled Watering USER TIP: You will set up each Zone on its own schedule simply by repeating the steps below for each Zone you want to schedule.
Water 1 Zone Now USER TIP: Any watering you do with this function will not affect your normal schedule.
Water All Now USER TIP: Any watering you do with this function will not affect your normal schedule.
Rain Delay Use this function to suspend watering for up to 3 days due to weather or other reasons. USER TIP: Once the timer has waited the amount of time you select for Rain Delay, it will resume normal scheduled watering. Any scheduled watering that falls into the delay period will not occur.
Season Adjust Use this option to make changes to account for seasonal changes without changing your schedule setting. USER TIP: Depending on where you live, your landscapes watering needs can change throughout the year. In the summer, you may need to water more than at other times of the year, etc. Instead of changing your settings for each zone in your yard, you can adjust up or down the amount of time you water for your ENTIRE schedule with one simple adjustment using Season Adjust.
Normal Operation Below are different screens your timer might display while in Auto Run mode. Normal Operation Watering All Now With Rain Delay Valve Short Screen displays current time, the zone that is scheduled to be watered next, and the date and time it will be watered.
