2.5. Manually Launch Watering

There may be occasions when you’ll wish to manually run a programmed cycle, or run a single zone for a

defined period of time. This is done in the Manual Operations section of the Watering Settings tab

In the Start Trigger Settings group you can select the Cycle that you wish to run at any time. Just choose

it from the drop-down menu and click Apply. The cycle will start immediately.

Similarly, you can select the Zone that you wish to run at any time, as well as the duration of watering.

Clicking the Apply button will start watering the selected zone and duration.

A few things to consider… First, manual controls will override any currently running automated cycles.

So, if you choose to launch cycle 1 manually during the time that cycle 2 is scheduled to run, cycle 2 will

stop execution and cycle 1 will begin immediately. Cycle 2 will not run until its scheduled time will come

around again. The same holds true for manual starts of a zone. If any automated cycle is running and

you launch a zone manually, that automated cycle will stop and the manually launched zone will run. The

aborted cycle will run again at its normally programmed time.

You can also abort any manually started cycle or zone, or any automatic cycle during its execution time.

Simply check the Yes box in the Abort Confirmation group and click Apply. Watering will stop

immediately.

Note that you don’t have to manually abort a cycle or zone that has been started manually, if you wish to

move on to another cycle or zone. Simply select the new cycle or zone to start manually and click the

Apply button. Any previously manually started cycle or zone will stop and the newly started cycle or zone

will begin watering.
