The ECXTRA timer has three modes of operation: Auto-

matic, Manual and Off. In the Automatic mode the timer

tracks the time and day and operates the automatic

watering schedules. The Manual mode enables the

zones and watering programs to be started and con-

trolled manually at any time. The Off mode shuts off all

watering activity and prevents any zones from operating

automatically or manually.
The Rain Delay and Season Adjust control features are

provided to enable quick, temporary changes in operation

to help compensate for variables in weather and season.
Each of the operating modes and control features are

explained in this section of the guide and can be found

on the following pages:
• Automatic Operation, page 30

• Manual Operation, page 31

• Watering Control Features, page 32

• Using the Rain Delay Feature, page 33

• Using the Season Adjust Feature, page 34

Automatic Operation

In the Automatic mode, the ECXTRA keeps track of the

current time, day of the week and the automatic watering

program schedule. Automatic operation will occur when-

ever a programmed watering day and start time match

the current time and day.

The Automatic mode is selected when the control dial is

in the

run

position. While in the automatic mode, the

display will show two types of information: Status and

Operating.
This example shows the Status

display. The current time is

2:45

pm

and the current day is

Monday. Programs A and B are

scheduled to operate today.
When watering starts, the Operating display appears and

is shown with the Watering On symbol. In this example,

program A is operating. Zone 1 has 10 minutes of run

time remaining. Zones 2 and 3

will also run during this water-

ing cycle. This program also

has a season adjust factor, so

the Percent symbol will also

be displayed.
Note:

If the control dial remains in any other position

(except

off

) for more than 8 minutes, the timer will revert

to the Automatic mode.
Note:

The position of the

programs

switch does not

determine which program will run during automatic timer

operation. In other words, if a program has an assigned

watering day schedule, start time and an assigned zone

with run time, it will operate automatically regardless of

the

programs

switch position.
