Programming the Controller

About the Watering Program Memory

Once programmed, the TMC-212 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 interrupted from the controller for more than 24 hours.

The TMC-212 has a default watering program that will automatically control your sprinkler system when power is initially applied.

If you do not wish to program the controller, you can use the default settings. To enable the TMC-212 con- troller to operate Automatically in real time, just set the current time and date.

The default watering program settings are as follows:

•Program A has a Calendar watering schedule set to water every day. Programs B and C are turned Off.

•One program start time is set for 5:00 a.m.

•Station run time is set to 10 minutes per station.

•Pump Start/Master Valve circuit delay is two seconds.

•Well Recovery time is 0 seconds.

•Pump Start/Master Valve circuit is enabled during Well Recovery time.
