4. Press the +/
ON
button to begin operation. Allow station 1 to
continue operating for the set run time or change the run time by
using the +/
ON
or –/
OFF
button(s). (Decreasing the run time to less
than one minute will turn off the station.) Each station will run
automatically in numerical sequence or may be manually advanced
to another station by pressing the
NEXT
button until that station is
displayed. Each time the station is advanced (either automatically or
manually) the previous operating station will turn off, enabling only
one station to run at a time.
Note: To stop the test operation at any time, simply turn the
function dial to the
OFF/RAIN DELAY
position and press the –/
OFF
button.
5. When finished, return the function dial to the
AUTO RUN
position.
WATER BUDGETING
The Water Budgeting feature enables you to easily increase or decrease
the station run time (by percentage) of all stations assigned to a
selected program. This is handy for making temporary overall station
run time adjustments without changing the original run time settings.
Water Budgeting % values range from 10% to 200% in 10%
increments, with 100% being the normal setting.
For example, as the fall season approaches and the temperature
decreases, you may want to reduce the water time for the stations in
program A by 30%. Later you can return station times to their original
values by setting the Water Budgeting % value back to 100%.
Note: It is possible to inadvertently cause start time stacking when
increasing station run time. Careful use of Water Budgeting % will
help prevent this from occurring.
To change the Water Budgeting % values:
1. Turn the function dial to the
WATER BUDGETING ( %)
position.
2. Select Program
A
,
B
or
C
with the
Program
button.
3. Use the +/
ON
and/or –/
OFF
button(s) to increase or decrease the
percentage value (10–200%).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other programs as required.
5. Turn the function dial to the
AUTO RUN
position.
