Linking Zones (Creating a Scheduling Group)
To make programming easier and more structured, the BaseStation 3200 provides a way to group
zones that have similar watering requirements. You create a scheduling group by designating a
zone within the group as the primary zone and then configuring the other zones in the group as
linked. These settings allow you to change the program for the primary zone and then
automatically apply those changes to the linked zones. For example, if your group has 10 zones,
you only need to make changes to the primary zone, and then all the changes will be automatically
applied to the other 9 zones.
1. Perform the procedure in Setting Up a Primary Zone (on page 41) first.
2. Turn the dial to the Zones position.
3. Verify that the number displayed in the Program field in the upper-left corner of the screen
matches the program in which you want to set up the scheduling group. If the zone is enabled
in multiple programs and you want to set up the scheduling group in a different program,
press the Next button to move to the Program field, and then press the + or – button to
change the program number.
Note: You can only link a zone to its primary zone within the same program. Linked zones
cannot cross programs.
4. In the Zone field, press the + or – button to select the zone that you want to link.
5. Press the Next button to move to the Zone Mode field.
6. Press the + button to change the entry in the field so it shows Linked-#.
7. To continue linking zones, press the Enter button until the number of the zone that you want
to link displays in the Zone field at the top of the screen.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have linked all the zones in the group to the primary zone for
that group.
9. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the RUN position.
