Season Adjust % Feature

Note: The Season Adjust % and Rain Delay features modify controller operation only and do not change the controller’s programmable memory.

The Season Adjust % feature enables the station time of all stations (assigned to a watering program) to be simul- taneously decreased or increased from 10–200% in 10% increments (100% equals no adjustment).

For example, setting Season Adjust to 50% decreases all stations to half of their programmed station time. A station programmed for 20 minutes would run 10 min- utes and a station with 15 minutes would run 7 minutes and 30 seconds. As a conservation measure, an adjust- ment above 100%, first increases station run time, then splits the time in half. The program watering cycle then runs through twice consecutively. This method of increasing irrigation enables irrigation water to soak into the plant root zone instead of pooling and running off.

For example, adjusting to 150% will first increase a

20-minute station time to 30 minutes (1.5 x 20 = 30). The controller automatically divides 30 minutes in half and runs the station for 15 minutes in back-to-back watering cycles.

Note: All station times are retained in the controller’s programmable memory and returned to their set value when season adjust is reset to 100%. The adjusted station time will be displayed during operation.

The % symbol will be displayed when an when the Season Adjust % feature is utilized.

- Turn the control dial to the SEASON ADJUST position. The season adjust display will be shown and 100% will be flashing.

- Check the PROGRAMs switch setting. If necessary, reposition the switch to select the desired program.

- Press the +/ON or –/OFFuntil the desired adjustment value is flashing.

4.- To apply the Season Adjust feature to another program, repeat steps and .

Note: The % symbol will be displayed in all dial positions as a reminder that this feature is in use.
