Common Programming Error

The most common programming error for any pro-
gram-based controller is multiple Program Start Times
that cause watering cycles to repeat.
As an example: Program A has a 1
run at 8:00 AM. With program stacking, each Station
will run in order, until all zones are watered. There's no
need to set each Station to run separately.
In this example, a 2 Start Time has mistakenly been
nd
set for 8:30 AM, which means that some zones would
be watered twice that morning.

NOTE: Only assign Run Times in a Program for sta-
tions you want to water. If you do not want a spe-
cific station to run in a selected program then set
the Run Time to zero.
