Seasonal Adjustment
Seasonal Adjustment is used to make global run time changes
without re-programming the entire controller. To use the Seasonal
Adjustment feature:
1. Turn the dial to the SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT position.
2. The display will now show a ashing
number followed by a %, as well as the
bar graph which always remains on the
display. Press the
or button to
adjust the percentage of the seasonal
adjustment. Each bar on the graph
represents 10%. This feature can adjust
the controller from 10% to 150% of the
original program.
To view the adjusted run times, simply turn the dial to the RUN
TIMES position, the displayed run time will be updated accordingly
as the seasonal adjustment is made.
NOTE: The controller should always be initially
programmed in the 100% position.
When using a Hunter “Clik” weather sensor, the Seasonal Adjustment
value can be adjusted as described.
When using the Solar Sync
®
ET sensor, the Seasonal Adjustment value
is automatically updated daily based on the Solar Sync sensor. The
Solar Sync ET sensor measures weather patterns, determines the
optimal Seasonal Adjustment value, and then updates the controller
on a daily basis. This value can be overridden manually by pressing the
or buttons to the desired Seasonal Adjustment value. However,
it is important to understand that the manually adjusted Seasonal
Adjustment value will be replaced at midnight by the new updated
value from the Solar Sync sensor.
To revert to a manually adjusted mode, the Solar Sync sensor must be
uninstalled. See page 14 for instructions on how to uninstall the
Solar Sync sensor.
