Manual Watering
The Manual Watering functions are used for additional watering if the irrigation program is not sufficient.
They can also be used to troubleshoot each station for proper operation. Pressing the Manual Watering Key will
access three manual irrigation functions; Multi-Manual, Syringe and Program.
M-Manual - Select M-Manual to activate a station or group of stations with a specified runtime.
Multi-Manual Station Activation Directions
Manual station activation example: Activate stations 1–12 with a runtime of 5 minutes each and limit watering to
3 stations simultaneously.
Note: The Multi-Manual function is limited to the maximum simultaneous station settings of the controller. In
cases where a program is running and a multi-manual activated, the controller will activate all stations specified in
the multi-manual in addition to the currently activated stations. Thus, the multi-manual will allow the controller
to exceed the maximum simultaneous station settings.

2. The cursor should be located in the Manual Field, use the input dial to select M-Manual.

select the correct station being irrigated. For this example, select station 01.
4. Press the right arrow key to advance the cursor to the next value. This value will indicate the last station
of the range. If irrigating only one station, this value should be the same as the first value. For this example,

runtime in hours, minutes and seconds (HH:MM). Use the input dial and the right arrow key
to select the appropriate runtime value. For this example, set the value to 00:05.
6. Press the down arrow key to advance the cursor to the next entry field. Notice that a new Station: line
was created. Fill this line only if irrigating multiple ranges of stations, otherwise, leave this line blank.
