ERASING ANY PRIOR PROGRAMS
This process enables you to easily clear the controller memory of all
user-defined watering program information within an individual
program. This is an optional procedure and can be skipped if you wish
to retain previous program operating information or the controller has
not yet been programmed.
Erasing a program resets the memory to factory conditions: No station
run time, program start time or active watering days. Water Budget is
set to 100% and Master Valve/Pump Start is set to be “On.”
Note: This process is program independent and resets only the
information for the selected program.
To erase program information for a selected program:
1. Select Program
A
,
B
,
C
or
D
with the
Program
switch.
2. Turn the function dial to the
Program Erase
position. The display
will show “
ERASE
.”
3. Press and hold the
OFF
button until “
DONE
” is displayed.
4. Repeat this procedure for each program you wish to erase.
SETTING THE STATION RUN TIME
A station is assigned to a program when it is given a station run time
(from 1 minute to 10 hours) in that program. The station can have only
one run time per program. Additionally, the station can be assigned to
any number of programs and have a different run time assigned in each.
To set the run time for each station:
1. Turn the function dial to the
Station Times
position. The
controller displays
STATION NUMBER

OFF
(or the current
station run time).

button to select the station number you wish to
set (if other than the one displayed).

buttons to display the desired station run time.
Note:

run time and you wish to remove it from this program, use the +
and/or

buttons to select
