Grouping and Reordering Zones
After you have set up your scheduling groups, it is helpful to order them so they are grouped visually. This grouping will simplify
the management and troubleshooting of your system.
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Remote Base Unit where you want to group or reorder zones.
2. Click the Config Zone
(1) tab.
3. Choose one of the following methods to reorder the
zones:
Change the order of existing zones
a. Click the Basic (2) button.
b. Type a new number in the Zone Reorder (3) field for
a zone that you want to change. Repeat this step
until you have updated all the numbers for the zones
that you want to change. Keep in mind that your new
sequence must include all the numbers that were in
your original sequence.
c. Click the Reorder (4) button.
Insert a zone between two existing zones
a. Click the Advanced (2) button.
b. In the Zone Reorder (3) field for the zone that you want to move, change the number to a decimal to indicate where
you want zone to be moved.
Example: If you add a new device in address line 9 that you want to move to a new position between zones 3 and 4,
click in the Zone Reorder field for zone 9, and then type 3.5 in place of the 9. If you want to move multiple zones
between two addresses, you can use a series of decimals such as 3.4 and 3.6. You can use up to two decimal places
when reordering zones.
c. Click the Reorder (4) button.
4. A message warns you that permanent changes will be made to the system configuration. Click OK to continue.
Setting Up Programs (Establishing Water Windows)
The first step in setting up programs on the BaseStation 6000 system is to establish your water windows. Water windows
designate when the system can water each day and over the course of a week. Typically, all days and times would be available
for watering unless there are watering restrictions or you need to set aside a time for mowing.
After you establish the water windows, you can configure the system to start watering at specific times or you can use defined
day intervals to set how many days the system will wait between watering cycles.
To establish water windows
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Remote Base Unit where you want to set up programs and
establish water windows.
2. Click the Programs button on the Main Page. The Set Watering Program Schedule window opens.
