Rain Delay Feature

Note: Rain Delay and Season Adjust control features enable quick, temporary changes in operation to help compensate for changes in weather and season.

The Rain Delay feature enables all watering operations to be delayed from 1 to 7 days. For example, rain has been forecast in your area for the next two days. Instead of turning the controller Off (and possibly forgetting to turn it back on), a rain delay of 3 days can be easily entered. At the end of 3 days, the TMC-212 will resume automatic operation as scheduled.

Turn the control dial to the RAIN DELAY position. The rain delay display will begin alternating with the automatic status display.

To set the number of rain delay days, press the +/ON or –/OFFbutton until the desired number (17) is flashing.

Return the control dial to the RUN position.

Note: The rain delay number will automatically decrease by one digit each day.When the delay number counts down to 0, automatic watering opera- tion will resume at the next scheduled start time.

To cancel the rain delay at any time, turn the con- trol dial to the OFF position. Leave the dial in the Off position for approximately five seconds, then return it to the RUN position.
