Pressing the Manual Watering Key will access three manual irrigation functions; Multi-Manual, Syringe and Program. M-Manual - Select M-Manual to activate a station or group of stations with a specified runtime.

Example: Controller’s Global% is set at 150%, Program% is set at 125% and Station% is set at 90%.
