About The GreenKeeper 212 Memory

The GreenKeeper 212 has a permanent watering sched- ule within its memory to assist you in two ways. First, it

The GreenKeeper 212 is set to display time in the

12-hour clock mode. If you prefer to use a 24-hour clock mode (military time), select this option by remov- ing the 12/24 Hour Selector Jumper (5). To store the jumper, install it on one pin as shown. See Figure 3.

will restore watering operation in case your watering pro- gram is lost due to a power interruption lasting longer than the battery backup reserve. This prevents your landscape from going unwatered if the power outage occurs while you are away.

Secondly, if you do not want to program your

GreenKeeper 212, you can use the permanent water- ing schedule to operate your sprinklers. Just set the current time and day and your GreenKeeper 212 will be ready to operate automatically.

	15-Second Run Delay
	The 15-second run delay feature is useful for sprinkler
	systems utilizing a pump or master valve. For example,
	a pump usually requires a few seconds to build pressure
	after first starting. With the 15-second run delay select-
	ed, the pump would be running (or the master valve
	would open) 15 seconds before the first station begins
	watering. A 15-second delay would also occur between
	station operations. This helps ensure that one valve is
	closed before another valve opens.
	Note: A 2-second run delay will occur if this option is not
	selected.
	To select the 15-second delay option, remove the Delay
	Selector Jumper (6). See Figure 3.
	Odd/Even Watering Days
14	If you plan to use an Odd/Even day watering schedule,
	remove the Odd/Even Selector Jumper (7) for this option.

The permanent watering schedule operates as follows: When power is applied, the controller clock is set to 12:00 AM Sunday. Program A has a Calendar watering schedule set to water every day. One program start time is set for 5:00 AM (5:00) and a run time of 10 minutes is set for each station. Programs B and C are turned Off and have no program start times or run times.

Note: An optional feature is provided which enables the The GreenKeeper 212 memory to be reset to the perma- nent program or cleared completely if you choose. If you do not want to use this option, skip the next procedure “Resetting The Controller Memory” and continue at page 16 to begin programming.
