To set the priority for a program
When a start event is reached, the program with the highest priority gets first call on the water and
time.
A higher priority program “preempts” lower priority programs and runs to completion before the
lower ones.
1. Turn the dial to the Programs position.
2. Press the Next button to select the Advanced
Programs Setup option. The Advanced screen
displays.
3. In the Program field, press the + or – button to
select the program that you want to set the
priority for.
4. Press the Next button to move to the Water
Priority field, and then press the + button to
select one of the following priorities:
 High – The program that you want to run
first
 Medium – The program that you want to run after your high priority programs have
finished running
 Low – The program that you want to run after all other programs have run
5. After you have configured the settings for the current program, perform one of the following
actions:
 To configure another program, press the Enter button until the number of the program
that you want to configure displays in the Program field at the top of the screen. Repeat
step 4.
 When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the RUN position.
To adjust programs for seasonal variations
In order to provide a full range of functionality, the BaseStation 3200 controller firmware includes
an option to increase or decrease the amount of time all zones in a program will water. However,
we recommend that you use other methods for adjusting the amount of water that your irrigation
system is putting down. A healthier way to water turf is to always water deep (about the same
amount of time) and change the frequency of watering to maintain the correct moisture level. Use
the Day Intervals schedule for better results. Refer to Setting up the day intervals for a program on
page 47.
