Features

This unit is available as a 6 station configuration.
Designed for residential and light commercial

applications, this controller has four separate programs
with up to sixteen possible start times a day. This
ensures efficient watering of different garden or turf
areas.

These different areas may require individual watering
programs and often use different types of sprinklers.

Examples: Turf areas generally use pop-up sprinklers
and require less frequent but heavier watering. However,
flower beds use micro sprays and require more frequent
watering. The valves (stations) which water similar
garden areas are often grouped together and put into the

same program as they need to be watered on the same
days.

These stations (valves) will water in sequential order
from the lowest number at the start time (or times)
nominated and on the days selected. Maximum watering
duration for a station (valve) is 12 hours and 59 minutes.

This controller has three types of watering day options.
Either, interval watering from everyday to every 15th day,
individual day selection per program, or a 365 day
calendar for ODD/EVEN day watering.

An innovative feature of this controller is the Rain Sensor
Ready (RSR) technology. This allows
to be controlled by a rain sensor. In this way, garden
areas that are subject to rain, can have their irrigation
suspended during wet periods, while areas under cover
can continue to be watered.

Programming Instructions

Introduction

This controller has been designed with four separate
programs, to allow different garden areas to have their
own individual watering requirements.

A program is basically a method of grouping stations
(valves) with similar watering requirements to water on
the same days. These stations will water in sequential
order from the lowest number at the start time (or times)
nominated and on the days selected.

The key elements when programming

your controller are:

l Grouping the stations. (valves)

Group together garden areas which have similiar
watering requirements. Examples are: Turf Areas,
Flower Beds, Pergola/Undercover Areas, or Vegetables.
These different groups require individual settings.

l Planning out your watering program.

Complete your individual watering planner, supplied at
the back of this book.

l Setting the current time and correct day of the week.
l Setting an automatic program.

Use the following 3 steps to program each group.

1. Set Start(s).

This sets the time of the day when the watering

program will commence.

2. Set Watering Days.

These are the nominated days when the
automatic system will be active.

3. Set Station Run Times.

This sets the watering duration required for each
station (valve).

Programming Example

In this example, the lawn areas , Program 1 (Group 1), are
using pop-up sprinklers & require less frequent watering.

The vegetables are being watered using drippers on a
longer run time, with the flower beds, pots, hanging
baskets and pergola areas being watered using micro
sprays. Two stations are not affected by rainfall, these are
individually set to OFF. During rain, these stations are still
watered, whilst the rest of the system is suspended.

Other Functions

This controller can also manually run a selected program
once, or an individual station can be set to run once from
1 minute up to 12 hours and 59 minutes. During winter
the automatic programs can be suspended to prevent
watering while it is raining. A test facility for checking the
valves and sprinklers is also provided.
