Setting a Stop Condition for a Program
In the BaseStation 1000, you can set up a condition that will cause a running program to stop when
that condition occurs.
1. Press the Program Setup button. The Program Setup menu displays.
2. If the program that you want to modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen,
continue to step 3. Otherwise, press the PRG button until the program that you want to
modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Note: To move backwards in the list of programs, press and hold the PRG button, and then
press the – button repeatedly.
3. Press the  button to highlight the Setup Prg. Stop option, and then press the OK button. The
Setup Prg. Stop screen displays.
Note: If you want the controller to display a message whenever a program stops, refer to
Enabling Start, Pause, and Stop Messages on page 93.
4. Press the  button to highlight the stop condition that you want to set up for the program,
and then press the OK button. A checkmark displays next to the stop condition that you
selected.
 Moisture Stop – If you have a moisture sensor installed, you can use this stop condition
to have a program stop running when a specified soil moisture sensor limit is reached or
when the water level in a pond/cistern drops below a specified level.
For suggestions on programming your controller for a moisture stop condition, refer to
Tips for Setting Up Common Configurations on page 106.
a. Notice that the serial number for one of your moisture sensors is highlighted in the
Moisture field. If this is the serial number for the sensor installed in the area that
this program will water, no change is required. If you need to assign a different soil
moisture sensor to the program, press the + or – button to select a different serial
number.
b. Press the  button to highlight the Moisture Limit field, and then press the + or –
button to change the number in the field. Depending on how you are using the
moisture sensor, this number represents either the upper or lower limit.
