BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual
8 – MANUAL OPERATIONS
The BaseStation 3200 has several options that enable you to manually control your irrigation system. You can force
a program to start, stop a program that is actively watering or set the next start date for a program.
You can also manually water a single zone, all zones, or the zones of a program. The Manual Water is useful for
doing a walk-about test of multiple valves, or for applying additional water for a short period of time to a specific
zone.
Manually Running a Program
Manual Run is used to force a program to start, stop a program that is actively watering, or set the NEXT start date
for a program when you are using the Historical ET Calendar interval setting.
Note: Programs that do not use the Historical ET Calendar mode have a fixed schedule and are modified in the Day
Intervals dial position. Refer to the topic for setting up the day intervals for a program on page 49.
