Details Screen Features:
 Controller/Zone This feature allows you to rename your controller(s) and/or zones.
 Zone Hold This feature allows you to put designated zones on hold. This means that for a
designated time period, the sprinklers will not come on. To utilize this feature, click the check
box and set the “Hold From” and “Hold Until” fields according to your needs.
 Wire Color & Emitter Type: Use these fields to retain information regarding which wires are
attached to which zones and, also, which type of emitter is in use in that particular zone.
 Plant Facts Enter details about the plants, soil types, and sun exposure for each zone.
 Cycle and Soak This feature prevents water run-off. Water run-off is the wasted water that
flows from saturated soil in your yard into the gutters and streets. Cycle and Soak divides the
watering sessions on your schedule into alternating “On” (Cycle) and “Off” (Soak) periods, so
that the soil has time to absorb the water. If you notice any run-off in a particular zone, make
sure to enter the proper soil type and slope and click “Recommended Setting”. Next, click
“Save” (on the bottom left corner, next to “Cancel”). Cyber-Rain will then automatically adjust
the watering in this zone to reduce run-off. Note: The total watering time will not change, but
will be divided into sessions; allowing time for the soil to absorb water in between applications.
These cycles will not be reflected on the schedule or calendar pages, but will be transmitted to
your controller.
 Fertilizer Section: Use this section to record details about fertilizing and to set reminders.
Click on the “Fertilizer Watering” tab to temporarily increase watering following fertilization,
