To manually run a list of zones
The BaseStation 6000 provides flexible control of non-scheduled irrigation cycles. One
method is to define a list of zones and run them for a defined amount of time. You can initiate
manual runs on as many as four Remote Base Units at any one time.
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Information tab to activate
the Main Menu.
2. On the Main Menu, click Manual, and then click Manual Run Zones. The Activate Run List
dialog box opens.
3. In the Base Unit Number field, type the number of the Remote Base Unit that controls
the zones that you want to run manually.
Note: If you want to initiate manual runs on zones associated with other RBUs, complete
this procedure for one RBU and its associated zones, and then return to Step 2 and
complete the procedure for the next RBU.
4. Click OK. The Water Zone list opens.
5. In the Zone column, click the arrow
(1) at the end of the fields to choose the zone addresses that you want to run.
6. In the On Time (2) column, type the number of minutes that you want each zone to run. You can add up to 15 zones to the
manual run list.
7. In the # of Active Valves (3) field, type a number to indicate how many zones can run at one time.
Note: You must not exceed the number of concurrent zones that you have set elsewhere in the system.
8. Click Activate Watering to start watering (4) .
9. If you want to stop the manual watering process before all zones have run, click Return to close the Water Zone list. A
message asks if you want to cancel this watering operation. Click Yes.
Setting Zones to Done
Use one of the following options if you want to set all zones (or a single zone) to done, when the irrigation system is watering.
To set all zones to done
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Information tab to activate the Main Menu.
2. On the Main Menu, click Manual, and then click Set All Zones to Done. A message displays to warn that this action will
cancel or reset all watering cycles and set the Days Since Last Watering to 0. Click OK. On the Adjust Zone tab, all zones will
show as Done.
To set a single zone to done
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Adjust Zone tab.
2. Find the zone that you want to water again, and then click the Actions button on the line for that zone.
3. Click Force Zone to Done on the Actions menu.
