Setting Station Run Time Duration

The station run time duration is the amount of time a
station will operate once it has been started. A station is
assigned to a program when it is given a designated run
time duration ranging from 1 minute to 4 hours. Each
station can have a different run time duration in each
program.
Note: You have the option to view station run time duration
in minutes only or in hours and minutes. By default, the run
time will be displayed in the minutes format; i.e., 1 hour
and 30 minutes is displayed as 90M (minutes). To select
the alternate format, refer to "Station Run Time Duration

Controller Operation
The KwikDial 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
KwikDial's internal clock and calendar.
The Auto control dial position is the normal position
for the dial when automatic operation is desired.

the control dial is in any position other than Off
