Toro 212 manual Using The Season Adjust Feature

Using The Season Adjust Feature

Changes in season and temperature generally require a change in station run time to maintain a healthy land- scape and conserve water. The season adjust feature enables you to change the run time of all zones assigned to a program, simultaneously up or down, in 10% incre- ments – with just the press of a button. Adjustments can be reduced to 10% or increased to 200% of the pro- grammed run time of each station.

A 50% setting, for example, would decrease a 20-minute station run time to 10 minutes. Increases however, work a little differently. With any adjustment above 100%, the GreenKeeper 212 will first increase the run time by the adjustment percentage, then split the time in half and run the watering program twice. This allows the water to soak in instead of pooling or running off. For example, adjusting to 150% would first increase a 20-minute sta- tion run time to 30 minutes, then split the time in half and run two watering cycles back-to-back with 15 minutes in each operation. During operation the % symbol will flash to indicate a multiple watering operation.

Note: All station run times are retained in the controller memory and returned to their set value when the season adjust is reset to 100%. The only time a station run time will appear changed is during operation.
