PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS .....................................................................................

For the controller and it’s selected program to operate automatically, there are three components that must exist: When to water – or Watering Start Times, how long to water – or Station Run Times, what day of the week to water – or Days to Water.

We have included an example that will better illustrate the operation of a program. Let’s say you have a program start time set for 6:00 AM. Stations 1 and 2 are going to have a run time of 15 minutes and station 3 is set for 10 minutes. Please note that Stations 4, 5, etc. have not been included in this program, we will water them on separate programs.

Going back to our previous example, at 6:00 AM the controller will activate the watering cycle. The sprinklers on Station 1 will run for 15 minutes and then shut off. The controller will automatically activate Station 2 sprinklers. These sprinklers will also run for 15 minutes and then shut off. Then, watering on Station 3 will begin. The sprinklers will turn on for 10 minutes and shut off. Since no times were programmed for Stations 4,

1, 2, and 3 on program A, Station 4 to soak the flowers with drip irrigation on program D, and Station 5 to water the shrubs on program B. However, it is not absolutely necessary to use this feature. Many users prefer the simplicity of using one program for all their watering needs. The additional programs are provided for your convenience should the need arise.

Station 2

5, etc. the controller skips them. This will conclude the program and end the water cycle at 6:40 AM.

As shown in the above example, only one program start time was required to run the three different stations. The controller automatically moves to the next station without the need for additional start times.

We realize that many consumers will have variations in their plant water- ing needs, so at Hunter we equipped the ICC with four different programs:

12

9

6

Sprinklers at Station 2 begin to water at 6:15 AM

3

Sprinklers at Station 2 turn off at 6:30 AM

A, B, C, and D. These programs are completely independent of each other and give you the ability to have four coexisting timers in one controller. The only exception is program D, which can be used as a drip irrigation program. Any station used in program A, B, or C can not be used in pro- gram D. This prevents the accidental assignment of a rotor or spray zone to program D, the drip program, which could lead to excessive watering.

Program D can run concurrently with Program A, B, or C. For example, using more than one program would enable you to water the lawn Stations
