  • 4 programs: A, B, C; program D can operate concurrently

  • 8 start times per program

  • Nonvolatile memory and real time clock/calendar to retain programs and current date and time – no battery required

  • Zone run times from 1 min. to 9 hrs. 55 min. with operation countdown displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

  • Fault review displays all faults, including open and shorted zones

  • On-board multi-meter displays transformer voltage; milliamp measurement for each zone

  • Built-in valve locator chatters the solenoids (U.S. Patent No. 7,406,363)

  • Review menu displays ET deficits by zone , and corresponding zone run times

  • Review menu displays maximum run time and minimum soak times

  • Review menu displays temperature readings (daily high/low) for previous 5 days

  • Review menu accumulates total run times by zone

  • Programmable rain delay of 1 – 7 days

  • SLW Weather Station extended rain delay programmable from 0 – 99 hours

AUTO ADJUST FEATURES

  • ZIP Code input (5 digit) or Latitude input (±60° from EQUATOR) establish location of site for solar radiation calculation

  • Sprinkler type input allows selection for zone sprinkler type (SPRAY, ROTOR, DRIP, BUBBLER) with preset precipitation rate or specific input of the zone precipitation rate (.2 – 3.0" per hour)

  • Plant type input allows selection for zone plant type (COOL TURF, WARM TURF, SHRUBS, ANNUALS, TREES, NATIVE) with preset crop factors or specific input of the zone crop factor (10 – 300%)

  • Soil type input allows selection for the soil type (CLAY, SAND, LOAM) and slope (0 – 25°) for the purpose of automatically calculating a run/soak period to virtually eliminate run off

  • More/Less is settable by zone (-50% to +25%) for the purpose of fine tuning Auto Adjust run times to accommodate factors like shade, wind, and sprinkler inefficiencies

MANUAL OPERATION

  • Manual test runs each zone with zone run times from 10 sec. up to 10 min.
