Setting Scheduled Day Mode
• Press the button to access the Controller's Settings.
• Press the or buttons to select DAY MODE.
• Press the or buttons to set the type of watering schedule:
WEEKLY
watering days selected as days of the week.
CYCLIC
watering day selected as once every cycle number.
EVEN / ODD
watering day selected as even or odd days of the month.
Setting Max Number of Stations ON
at the Same Time
• Press the button to access the Controller's Settings.
• Press the or buttons to select MAX STN ON.
• LIFE Plus Controller can turn ON a maximum of 4 valve solenoids at the same time,
that is:
1 Station with MV, 2 Stations with MV, 3 Stations with MV, 4 Stations without MV.
Press the or buttons to select:
1-V YES-MV, 1 Valve and Master Valve
2-V YES-MV, 2 Valves and Master Valve
3-V YES-MV, 3 Valves and Master Valve
4-V NO-MV, 4 Valves and no Master Valve.
(*) Important note 1: if the maximum number on Station ON at the same time is
reached an additional Program that is started manually or automatically will be
put on hold and stacked waiting for other programs to stop and so making stations
available again. When a program put on hold starts it will be at at later time respect
to its programmed Start Time. If this happens, it may appear that the sprinklers
are not shutting off or that they are running at an unexpected time of day. To avoid
stacking make sure that each program watering cycle will be able to run completely
before the next start time of other programs.
This can be easily determined by totaling up the run time duration of all stations that
will operate during the program watering, then selecting for the other programs a
start time that can accommodate the completion of the initial watering program. If
Water Budget is used to increase run time duration, this must also be considered in
the total run time. Refer back to this information when setting program start times as
described on page 15 and Water Budget on page 16.
In any case make sure there is enough water pressure to eventually run:
1 solenoid valve when selecting 1V YES MV
2 solenoid valve when selecting 2V YES MV
3 solenoid valve when selecting 3V YES MV
4 solenoid valve when selecting 4V NO MV.
