Selecting Program Start Times
A program start time is the time of day you select to
begin an automatic program watering cycle.
It is important to remember that a program only
requires one start time to operate automatically!
When a program starts, each zone assigned to the
program will water in numerical order, one at a time for
its set run time.
Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program
more than one time per day. For example, when germi-
nating a new lawn. The ECXTRA enables each program
to have up to four separate start times per day.
Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. These
numbers are shown at the top left of the display next to
the start time symbol when the control dial is in the
start time position and indicate how many start times
are currently set for the program.
This illustration shows how
a program start time is dis-
played. In this example,
program A has one start time
(start time number 1) set
for 3:00 am.
Setting the Zone Run Time
A zone run time is the length of time the zone (controlled
by the valve) will water during the program watering
cycle. The run time for each zone can be set from Off
(no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments.
A zone is assigned to a program when it is given a run
time. If the run time for a zone is turned Off in a program,
it will not operate during the program watering cycle.
This is how the ECXTRA enables you to assign zones to
different programs.
Each zone can have a different run time assigned in each
program. For example, zone 1 could be set to run for 15
minutes in program A and 10 minutes in program B.
All zones assigned to the program are shown on the
lower portion of the display when the control dial is in the
set zone times position.
This illustration shows how
zone run time is displayed. In
this example, zones 1–6 are
assigned to program A. Zone 1
has a 10-minute run time and
zone 2 is set to run for 25 min-
utes. The zone run time being
displayed is identified by the
flashing zone number. Note the
run time symbol is shown to
indicate that zone run time is
being set.
