Manual

Note: Program stacking occurs when the controller is running a program where the maximum simultaneous sta-
tion limit is surpassed. Additional scheduled programs will be stacked (delayed) until an available station can be
activated.
System Settings
System Settings allows you to set controller parameters such as Time, Date and Language.
Use the up or down arrow keys to navigate through the menus.
Use the left and right arrow keys to advance to the next entry field on the same menu line.
Use the input dial to select values when editing.
Hold For: – Use this function to suspend system operation. Select the Hold duration from Today, 02-30
days, or Permant (Permanent) to suspend operation indefinitely. Select None to reactivate
the system. The following will display when system Hold is set for 2 days:
Sun 06/26/11 06:50am
Sec: 32
On Hold for 02 days
Language: – Default, English. Future option, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
Clock Set: – Use this function to set the current time.
Clock Mode: – Use this function to select the clock mode between Am/Pm (12-Hour) and 24-Hour mode.
Date: – Use this function to set the current date.
Day Change : 1 am
RainSensActvOpn: No
LowPressActvOpn: Yes
LP Shutdown: 5 min
Day Change: – Use this function to set the “day change” time. The “day change” is the specified time that
the controller will advance the date. The default day change is 12:00 am. Adjusting the
day change time will allow programs to start throughout the night on the same active day
schedule. Programs with runtimes beyond the day change time are allowed to finish.
RainSensActvOpn: – Set this parameter to Yes when using a normally-closed rain sensor. Set to No when using a
normally-open rain sensor. The default is No.
LowPressActvOpn: – Set this parameter to Yes when using a normally-closed pressure sensor. Set to No when
using a normally-open pressure sensor.
LP Shutdown: – The TDC system can be equipped with a low pressure system to detect system failure.
Use this function to set the wait time until the controller reassess the low pressure condition
before shutting down the whole system. This delay (default: 5 minutes) prevents system
shutdowns caused by intermittent pressure fluctuations.
Max Sim Sta: – Use this function to set the maximum number of simultaneously operating stations.
This threshold will be applied to all programs and manual irrigation functions. Each
program can then be set with a lower limitation if necessary.
Note: The maximum number of simultaneous stations per controller is 20. The default is 6.
Example: The controller is set with a maximum simultaneous active stations of 7.
All programs in the controller will adhere to the 7 maximum active stations and each can be
adjusted with a lower limit (6, 5, 4, etc.).
