Controller Operation

The KD2 controller has five modes of operation:
Automatic, Manual Station(s), Manual Programs, Test and
Off. In the Automatic mode, the controller tracks the time
and day and operates the automatic watering schedules
as programmed. The Manual Station(s) mode enables an
individual station or group of stations to be started and
controlled manually. Manual Programs mode enables
watering programs to be started manually. Test mode
enables a quick, temporary program to be run to test the
operation of each station control valve. The Off mode
prevents all station operation.

Automatic Operation

Automatic operation will occur whenever the programmed
start time and watering day matches the KD2's internal
clock and calendar.

for the dial when automatic operation is desired. However,
the controller will operate automatically when the control
dial is in any position.
