Setting up a Program

There are four independent programs available with
the controller: A, B, C, and D. You can set each
program to operate according to your specifications.
When you set up a program, you:
• select the program
• choose a cycle setting for the program
• assign stations and set the station's watering
durations and start times
It is easier to select a program and program it
completely. Jumping from program to program can
be confusing.

Step 1: Selecting a Program

To select the program you want to set up,
Press PGM to cycle through the available
programs.
The program indicator on the far left side of the
display changes.

Step 2: Selecting the Cycle

Each program can operate in one of four cycle modes:
• CUSTOM waters on the days of the week you select.
• CYCLICAL waters according to a cycle with a
specified number of days.
• ODD waters only on odd days of the month.
• EVEN waters only on even days of the month.
