III. SET TIME OF DAY TO START WATERING (START TIMES) Press ➔ to access this function. You can start each program (A and B) up to 2 times a day. Enter the time of day (start time) when the first valve should open. The other valves in the program will automatically open in sequential order and water for the length of time you will enter in step IV. To enter a start time, select the program with the ABC key. Then set the start time with the +/ON and -/OFF keys. To enter a 2 nd start time (optional), press the key and use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the 2 nd start time. If you wish to set start time(s) for the other program, press ABC and repeat the above procedure. To cancel a start time, repeatedly press until the stored start time you wish to cancel appears. Hold down for at least 2 seconds. Press ➔ to validate and move to the next function. Note : The controller will automatically file the start times in chronological order from 00:00 to 23:59. If a start time is programmed before a previous watering has been completed, the controller will "stack" the 2 nd start time and defer it until the irrigation underway has finished. IV. SET THE LENGTH OF WATERING TIME FOR EACH VALVE Repeatedly press ➔ to access this function if it is not already displayed. Each valve must be assigned to a program (A or B) by using the ABC key. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the watering duration from 1 minute to 4 hours in 1-minute increments. The valve number appears on the left of the screen. Press to move to the next valve and repeat the above procedure. Note : if programs overlap with a 2 nd watering set to start before the 1 st has finished, the controller will "stack" the 2 nd start and delay it until the previous watering cycle has been completed. Press ➔ to validate and move to the next function. V. WATER BUDGET % The Water Budget function is used to adjust the watering duration for all programs (A and B; A, B and C in the TURBO mode) from 0 to 200% without re-programming the watering time for each valve. The water budget can cut back watering duration during cool weather or increase watering duration during hot summers. A setting of 100% means that all valves will operate for the length of time programmed in step IV. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to increase or decrease watering time in 10% increments. A setting under 100% decreases watering time. A setting over 100% increases watering time.
Example : "80" in the display means you have reduced watering time by 20% for all valves. A valve initially programmed to water during 10 minutes will now water only 8 minutes. To turn off the water budget, repeatedly press Ä to access the % function. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the percentage to 100. NOTE : The increased or decreased duration will not appear in the step IV display. However, the % icon will appear in the standby time of day display to indicate that the Water budget is being used. VI. SYSTEM ON/SHUTDOWN The default mode is "ON" which allows programmed watering to take place, but you can prevent both automatic and manually started watering (rainy weather shutdown) without changing the scheduled watering you have programmed. Repeatedly press ➔ to display the function with a blinking cross on the sprinkler. To prevent watering, press -/OFF. The cross on the sprinkler stops blinking. If you move through the menu by pressing the ➔ key, you will see that the non-blinking cross appears in all the displays except one. To return to the watering mode, repeatedly press ➔ until the blinking cross display appears. Now press +/ON: the cross disappears. Press ➔ to return to the time of day standby screen. If you have selected the Standard programming mode, your controller is now operational. Instructions on manual functions are found in the "Manual Functions" section of this manual.

III. SET TIME OF DAY TO START WATERING (START TIMES)<br />
Press ➔ to access this function. You can start each program (A and B) up to 2<br />
times a day. Enter the time of day (start time) when the first valve should open.<br />
The other valves in the program will automatically open in sequential order and<br />
water for the length of time you will enter in step IV. To enter a start time, select<br />
the program with the ABC key. Then set the start time with the +/ON and -/OFF<br />
keys. To enter a 2 nd start time (optional), press the key and use the +/ON and<br />
-/OFF keys to set the 2 nd start time.<br />
If you wish to set start time(s) for the other program, press ABC and repeat the<br />
above procedure. To cancel a start time, repeatedly press until the stored start<br />
time you wish to cancel appears. Hold down for at least 2 seconds. Press ➔<br />
to validate and move to the next function.<br />
Note : The controller will automatically file the start times in chronological<br />
order from 00:00 to 23:59. If a start time is programmed before a previous<br />
watering has been completed, the controller will "stack" the 2 nd start time<br />
and defer it until the <strong>irrigation</strong> underway has finished.<br />
IV. SET THE LENGTH OF WATERING TIME FOR EACH VALVE<br />
Repeatedly press ➔ to access this function if it is not already displayed.<br />
Each valve must be assigned to a program (A or B) by using the ABC key.<br />
Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the watering duration from 1 minute to 4<br />

V. WATER BUDGET<br />
%<br />
The Water Budget function is used to adjust the watering duration for all programs<br />
(A and B; A, B and C in the TURBO mode) from 0 to 200% without re-programming<br />
the watering time for each valve. The water budget can cut back watering duration<br />
during cool weather or increase watering duration during hot summers.<br />
A setting of 100% means that all valves will operate for the length of time<br />
programmed in step IV. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to increase or decrease<br />
watering time in 10% increments.<br />
A setting under 100% decreases watering time.<br />
A setting over 100% increases watering time.
