Setting Max Stations On At The Same Time; Setting Seasonal Water Budget - Toro TEMPUS 4 Guía De Usuario

SPECIAL SETTINGS
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 TEMPUS Controller can turn
ON a maximum of 2 valve solenoids at the same time, that is:
1 Station with MV or 2 Stations without MV.
Press the or buttons to select:
1-V YES-MV, 1 Valve and Master Valve
2-V NO-MV, 2 Valves and no Master Valve
Important note 1: selecting 1-V YES-MV a Program A or B that is automatically
or manually started while a watering cycle of the other Program B or A is in progress,
will be delayed (stacked) until the current Program's watering cycle is finished. 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
A or B watering cycle will be able to run completely before the next start time of the
other Program B or A occurs.
This can be easily determined by totaling up the run time duration of all stations
that will operate during the program (A or B), then selecting for Program B, or A, 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 12 and Water Budget on page16.
Selecting 2-V NO-MV a Program that is automatically or manually started while a
watering cycle is in progress will be started. If this could occur, make sure there is
enough water pressure to eventually run two different solenoid valves at the same
time. If not select 1V YES-MV.
Important note 2: when setting more than a start time for the same Program (A
or B) make sure each start time is set after the previous irrigation cycle is completed
otherwise the start time will be discarded.This can be easily determined by totaling
up the run time duration of all stations that will operate during the program, then
selecting the next start time that can accommodate the completion of the initial
watering cycle. 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 12 and Water Budget on page16.
