Programming the Timer
About the Watering Program Memory
Once programmed, the ECXTRA memory will be retained for several years without power. Only the cur- rent time and date information will be lost and will need to be reset if power is disconnected from the timer for more than 24 hours.
The ECXTRA has a permanent (default) watering sched- ule that can operate your sprinkler system automatically when power is first applied.
The default watering schedule operates as follows:
•Program A has a Calendar watering schedule set to water every day.
•One program start time is set for 5:00 am (5:00).
•A run time of 10 minutes is set for each zone and the pump start/master circuit will be turned on.
•Programs B and C are turned Off (no watering program settings).
•Master Valve/Pump Start circuit On/Off is On.
•Season Adjust is 100%
•Pump Delay time is 0 (zero).
If you do not wish to program the timer, you can use the default watering schedule as is. With the current time and date set, your ECXTRA will be ready to operate automatically.
Note: The watering program memory can be reset to the default program at any time. See “Clearing the Program Memory” on page 36 for detailed information
