HIDDEN FEATURES AND ADVANCED PROGRAMMING CAPABILITIES .......................
Setting the Soak Times
It is only necessary to set a SOAK time if the accumulated CYCLE times on any single program will not provide an adequate soak time. For instance, if the sum of the cycle times for all stations in a program exceeds 10 minutes and each station will require no more than 20 minutes of soak time, then the accumulated cycle times are sufficient and no soak time will need to be programmed. However, if the necessary soak time did exceed the 10 minutes, then a soak time must be entered for those stations requiring a longer soak between waterings. The soak time default is 10 minutes.
Pressing the button at any time while in the cycle time setup will allow the user to enter the soak time setup for that station. Pressing again will go back to the cycle time setup. The soak time works identically to the cycle time setup except that the SOAK icon will be on as opposed to the CYCLE icon.
NOTE: If the dial is moved from the SET STATION RUN TIMES position, then the entire sequence of
going back to RUN and holding the key down must be repeated to reenter the cycle and soak setup. The cycle and soak feature is a station dependent function and will be used whenever the station operates regardless of which program or programs the station is assigned.
2. Programmable Delay Between Stations
This feature allows the user to insert a delay between when one station turns off and the next station turns on. This is very helpful on systems with slow closing valves or on pump systems that are operating near maximum flow or have slow well recovery.
1.Start with the dial in the RUN position.
2.Press and hold the button down while turning the dial to the SET STATION RUN TIMES position.
3.Release the button. At this point the display will show a delay time for all stations in seconds, which will be blinking. The DELAY icon shall also be lit at this time.
4.The display will show “SEC”.
Use the and buttons to increase or decrease the delay time between 0 and 10 minutes in 1 second increments.
5.Pressing either the button
or the button will allow for programming a longer delay between stations. The display will show the delay in minutes.
6.Press the and buttons to increase or decrease the delay time from 0 to 10 hours in 5 minute increments.
7.Return the dial to the RUN position.
