Part 5 - Percent Scale

The control features of the Percent Scale window are used to increase and

decrease Program Run Time by percentage from 0 to 255%.

The Percent Scale adjustment can be implemented by any one of three optional

methods: by Unit (all programs), by Select Programs or by program Description.

• Assigning Percent Scale adjustment by Unit scales the run time of all

defined irrigation programs.

• Using the Select Programs option enables a Percent Scale adjustment to

be assigned to program any cluster(s) or individual program(s) within a

cluster.

• The Description option enables Percent Scale to be assigned to programs

based on the program’s

Primary or Secondary description.

Note: Percent Scale adjustments entered in the Percent Scale window will

override a Percent Scale factor selected in the Auto Operations window.
