ers provided with the irrigation valves.Match them to the corre-
sponding channels on the control plan.
This ensures that the channels are assigned to the radio receivers
and radio switches in a clear, unambiguous way.This is particularly
important when you begin to use your irrigation installation again
in the spring.
(For example:Spr inkler-System = channel 1, 2 and 3,
Lightline = channel 5)
