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 8 hours. Each station can have a different run
time duration in each program.
1. Turn the control dial to the Run Time position
2. Press P+ or P- buttons to select the desired program A or B. The selected station
Run Time number and the program letter A or B will be displayed.
3. Press either the or button to select the desired Run Time number from 1
to the maximum number of stations of the TEMPUS Controller model: 4, 6 or 8.
4. Press either the or button to set the run time.
• To remove the station from the program, decrease the run time duration to less
than 1 minute to display OFF.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each Run Time number, if desired.
6. Repeat steps 2–5 for each program as needed.
7. Press the Auto button when finished.

Setting the Water Budget

made in 10% increments from 0% (program Off) to 200% of the normal (100%) run
time.

applying Water Budget to program A will not alter the run time duration of any
stations assigned to Program B.
