The Manual Watering functions are used for additional watering if the irrigation program is not sufficient. They can also be used to troubleshoot each station for proper operation. Pressing the Manual Watering Key will access three manual irrigation functions; Multi-Manual, Syringe and Program.

M-Manual- Select M-Manual to activate a station or group of stations with a specified runtime.

Multi-Manual Station Activation Directions

Manual station activation example: Activate stations 1–12 with a runtime of 5 minutes each and limit watering to 3 stations simultaneously.

Note: The Multi-Manual function is limited to the maximum simultaneous station settings of the controller. In cases where a program is running and a multi-manual activated, the controller will activate all stations specified in the multi-manual in addition to the currently activated stations.
