System Programming

  • Water Days and Water Windows: Each program can be set to water only during specified hours of the day, as well for intervals such as daily, even days, odd days, odd days excluding the 31st, or via a Day Interval Calendar with a different day interval for each half month of the year with a programmable skip day.
  • Run Times: Each zone can be programmed to run from 1 minute to 23.5 hours.
  • Intelligent Soak Cycles: Each zone can be programmed for soak and cycle times from 0 to 23.5 hours.
    • Optimal soak cycle behavior - optimizes water penetration while minimizing total water time
    • Controller can recommend soak and cycle times - easy to set and adjust
  • Each zone can be programmed to run in timed or one of multiple available smart watering modes.
  • System pauses and delays
    • User programmable rain delay, manual or automated with rain switch
    • Low temperature pause with an Air Temperature Sensor
    • User programmable pause based on pause button, wind, pressure, or any other normally closed pause device.
    • Up to 3 pause devices connected to the biLine and three hardwired sensor terminals (rain, flow, or pause) per BaseStation
  • Event days: Schedule up to 8 future event dates on which no watering will occur.
  • Water Budget: Adjustable from 25% to 200% by program.
