Manual

o After enabling a schedule, it will now appear to be selected for additional programming
when you use the SCHEDULES shortcut button. Select the SCHEDULES shortcut button,
select the Schedule to be programmed, and proceed to program it.
o Schedules are set by default to run concurrently, and this is the most common operating
mode. If you wish to operate only one schedule at a time (for instance, in order not to
actuate more than 4 valves at once, which is the limit of the transformer), this setting
can be adjusted in the SCHEDULE DETAILS menu of the ADVANCED menu section under
MAX CONCUR SCHDL. The default setting is 3 (all three schedules allowed to run
concurrently); you can limit this by adjusting this setting to 1, or 2.
 Set up a pulsing program for a valve
o This is a step taken after the VALVE RUNTIME has been programmed. What it does is
break that runtime down into intervals of runtime, and delay time; this allows the water
applied to soak into the ground without running off the surface, or being lost to deep
percolation. You can think of it as a setting customized to the soil type for that valve.
o Select the ADVANCED menu, and VALVE DETAILS
o Select the valve you want to pulse irrigate
o Set the PULSE RUNTIME, AND PULSE DELAY
o Examples
 SCHEDULE A has Valve 1 programmed to run 2 hours.
 Valve 1 is set using the steps above to have a PULSE RUNTIME of 45 min., and
PULSE DELAY of 1 hour.
o Another way of thinking about it is that the valve will run using the PULSE RUNTIME and
PULSE DELAY time sequence until the amount of VALVE RUNTIME set in the schedule for
that valve is exhausted. You can change the VALVE RUNTIME without affecting the
Pulse runtime & delay settings. So, for example, you can increase the VALVE RUNTIME
in the example above to 3 hours, and the runtime & delay sequence will simply continue
until 3 hours of runtime is exhausted:
o This sequence of runtime and delay will apply to the valve any time a schedule calls for
that valve to actuate. It will not run more than the schedule calls for, even if the PULSE
RUNTIME exceeds the VALVE RUNTIME set in the schedule.
 Skip to the next valve (when operating)
o Select the > arrow button, and the controller will skip to the next valve in the schedule.
 Replace a faceplate
