Clicking the Information button in the Auto Programming window will display a table that lists the start time for each slot
within the selected program. The Water Usage column at the right side of the table gives the total gallons used by each
station on a single run, not multiplied by the number of starts nor repeats. Thus, the totals at the bottom are for one cycle,
one pass through the 48 slots. Water Usage is based on the run time for each slot and the expected flow entered for the
corresponding station in the Zone Data screen.
The Cycle Graph displays a graph of one program cycle, as shown below.
The Zone Data screen allows you to set certain parameters to each individual station of the field unit. As with Schedule
Programming and Auto Programming, the Zone Data screen is accessed from the Master Control Panel for any specific
field unit selected from the Unit Selection screen.
Shown in the figure is a blank Zone Data screen
before any data is entered. It provides, for each
station in the unit, rows where you can enter the
Station Description, Type Description, Expected
Flow in gallons per minute, Maximum Flow to limit
water consumption in gallons per minute, Plant
Factor, Application Rate in inches per hour and
station mapping information if a Map To Universal
control unit is used (Mapped Unit and Mapped
Station).
You can also map one or more stations to stations in one or more universal units, specifying which unit and station within that
unit to assign to each station. In the last column, you can flag a station for your own purposes and the station will appear
highlighted in the corresponding slot in the Auto Programming window.
To enter a Station Description or Type Description, click the corresponding text box underneath the title and within the
correct station number row. This will open a data entry box where you can type any description up to 20 characters. Click OK
to save the description and close the text box.
Similarly, to enter numerical data, click on the desired
square and a data entry box will open. After typing a value,
click OK. The range of values allowed for each of the
parameters is shown in the table:
NOTE: If the satellite station will be operating in conjunction with a Map To Universal control station, the total expected flow
for both stations must be entered.
The Expected Flow and Maximum Flow are also limited by the system Maximum Flow that is set in the System / Group
Maintenance, System Defaults. The maximum value allowed is the lesser of the value between this chart and the System
Maximum value.
If the satellite station is used in conjunction with a Map To Universal control unit, enter the 3-digit unit code of the mapped
unit in the Mapped Unit column. In the Mapped Station column, enter the corresponding station number being mapped to in
the Map To Universal control unit.
NOTE: If you wish to operate only a Map To Universal station, simply assign that station to any satellite station which is not
currently being used to operate an irrigation control valve. Enter the program assignment and run time information as you
would for any other satellite station.
