RAIN SENSOR SELECT BUTTON PROGRAMMING

The purpose of a rain sensor is to stop automatic watering when sufficient precipitation has been reached.

The rain sensor select button allows the user to bypass the rain sensor. If a rain sensor has been installed, and BYPASSED has been selected, then BYPASSED will be displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD.

NOTE: When the rain sensor select button is in the ON position a rain sensor or wire jumper must be installed in order to run a program.

Refer to page 13 for further details.

As the program dial is rotated the display automatically changes. The flashing value within the display can be increased or decreased by pressing the DOWN or UP buttons. To go back or advance to the next value press the BACK or NEXT buttons.

Because of variations in plant watering needs the Pro-LC has three separate programming options; A, B and C. Each program is completely independent of each other and the controller will automatically stack programs that overlap. This allows for all programmed watering to occur because only one program will run at a time and in alphabetical order.

Only one start time per program (A, B or C) is required to operate all stations with a run time. The controller automatically and numerically advances operation to the next station without the need for additional start times.

For additional watering, each program can be set with up to four separate start times. This allows for greater irrigating efficiency when all watering can’t be done during a single operation (cycle and soak).

NOTE: A program must contain at least one start time, watering day(s) and one station with a run time in order to operate.

SEASONAL ADJUST

The seasonal adjust feature allows the user to increase or decrease station run times globally, for all stations, without re-programming each individual station. Run times can be reduced to as little as 10% or as high as 200%.

This feature is used to decrease or increase watering times during seasonal temperature changes. The seasonal adjust % is calculated on the programmed run time for each station. For example: if a station is programmed to run 10 minutes, and the seasonal adjust is adjusted downward 80%, the station will now run for 8 minutes. Conversely, if you set the adjustment upwards to 120%, the same station will now run for 12 minutes.

This section is only for systems that require a pump start relay. The controller does not provide main power for a pump.

Pump Start Relay wiring terminal is located between “C” and ”1” screw terminals.

NOTE: JUMPERS FOR UNUSED STATIONS

To prevent pump or system damage when using a pump start relay, use a jumper to connect all unused stations to the last station with a run time.

Unused station(s) without a jumper could cause pump or system damage should the unused station be turned on. Pump operation with no flow (dead-head), could cause over-pressurization of the system or the pump to overheat.

All electrical connections and wiring must be made according to local building codes.

1. Open the cabinet door.

2. Connect the two rain sensor wires to the two terminals marked SENSOR located at #3 and #4 screw terminals.

NOTE:

If a rain sensor has not been installed in the Pro-LC, the preinstalled jumper wire must remain installed on the SENSOR terminals.
