If the valve has been opened manually and a programmed start of a watering period overlaps the manual opening period, the programmed starting time is suppressed.

Example:

The valve is opened at 9.00 a.m. manually, the opening period is 30 minutes. A program with a start time (START) between 9.00 and 9.30 a.m. will not be undertaken in this case.
