PROGRAMMING
Setting a Day Interval Schedule
A Day Interval schedule enables watering days to be set without regard to the actual
days of the week. For example, a 1-day cycle will water every day, a 2-day cycle will
water every other day and so on up to a 31-day cycle, which will water only once a
month.
The active watering day is the last day of the Cycle.
In order to establish a reference point for the beginning of the Day Cycle, the number
of days left before watering occurs are also entered. For example, if a 3-day cycle is
selected and "Days left" is entered as -1, then watering will occur tomorrow.
Note: DAY MODE in Settings must be set to INTERVAL.

Setting Program Start Time
The program start time is the time of day you select to begin an automatic watering
program cycle.
When a program starts, each station with a designated run time duration in the
program will operate in numerical order, one station at a time.
Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program more than once per day. For
example, when watering a new lawn.
