Using the Season Adjust Feature

Changes in season and temperature generally require a change in zone run time to maintain a healthy landscape 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% increments

with just the press of a button. Adjustments can be reduced to 10% or increased to 200% of the programmed run time of each zone.

A 50% setting, for example, would decrease a 20minute zone run time to 10 minutes. Increases however, work a little differently. With any adjustment above 100%, the ECXTRA will first increase the run time by the adjust- ment 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, adjust- ing to 150% would first increase a 20minute zone 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 zone run times are retained in the timer memory and returned to their set value when the season adjust is reset to 100%. The only time a zone run time will appear changed is during operation.
