Seasonal Adjustment

Seasonal Adjust is used to make global run time changes without re-programming the entire controller. This feature is perfect for making small changes that are necessary as the weather changes without reprogramming the entire controller. For instance, hotter times of the year may require a bit more water. Seasonal adjust can be increased so that the stations will run longer than the programmed time. Conversely, as Fall approaches, the seasonal adjust can be reduced to allow for short watering durations.

To use the seasonal adjustment feature:

  1. Turn the dial to the SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT position.
  2. The display will now show a flashing number followed by a %, as well as the bar graph which always remains on the display. Press the or buttons to adjust the percentage of the seasonal adjustment. Each bar on the graph represents 10%. This feature can adjust the controller from 10% to 150% of the original program.

To view the new adjusted run times, simply turn the rotary dial to the SET STATION RUN TIMES position, the displayed run time will be updated accordingly as the seasonal adjustment is made.

NOTE: The controller should always be initially programmed in the 100% position.
