Dial Ezy Gardener is available in 4 and 6 station congurations. Designed
to cover a wide range of applications from residential and commercial turf, to light
agriculture, and professional nursery.
This controller has a possible 3 separate programs with up to 12 starts per day.
The controller has a 7 day watering schedule with individual day selection per
program or a 365 calendar for odd/even day watering or selectable interval watering
schedules from every day to every 15th day. Individual stations can be allocated to
one or all programs and can have a run time of 1 minute to 12 hours 59 minutes or 25
hours if the water budget is set to 200%.
Holman has always been concerned with sustainable water usage. The controller
has many water saving features that can be used to maintain the highest standard
of plant quality with the least amount of water consumption. The integrated budget
facility allows global changes of run times without affecting programmed run times.
This allows for decreasing total water consumption on days of minimal evaporation.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This controller has been designed with 3 separate programs to allow different
landscape areas to have their own individual watering schedules.
A program is a method of grouping stations (valves) with similar watering
requirements to water on the same days. These stations will water in sequential order
and on the days selected.
Group the stations (valves) which are watering similar landscape areas together.
Examples: Turf, ower beds, gardens. These different groups may require
individual watering schedules, or programs
Plan your watering schedule completing the planner supplied at the back of this
book.
Set the current time and correct day of the week. If odd or even day watering
is going to be used, make sure the current year, month and day of the month is
correct.
HINT: To select a different program use the button marked
.
Each press will move to the next program number. This is handy for quick
reviewing of previously entered information without losing your place in the
programming cycle.
SET AUTOMATIC PROGRAM
Set the automatic program for each group of stations (valves) by completing the
following three steps:
1. Set start times
This sets the time when the watering schedule is to commence.
Note: For each start time, all the stations (valves) selected for the program will
come on in sequential order. If two start times are set, the stations (valves) will
come on twice.
2. Set Watering Days
These are the selected days when the automatic system will be active.
3. Set Station Run Times
This sets the watering duration required for each station (valve).

when planning your watering schedule. In this example all 3 programs are used, the
lawn areas are using gear drive sprinklers. The vegetable garden is using drip and
the ower beds are being watered with micro sprays.
