Start Time
This is the time of day that your programmed watering
starts, the first zone will begin watering at the 1st start
time. You can set up to 4 start times. When a start
time is set before the previous program has completed,
that start time will be "stacked" or delayed, and will
start upon completion of the previous program.
Tip: Only one start time is needed to run all of your zones.
1. Turn the dial until the selection box is on START TIME.
2. Press the dial. You will now see the hour dashes (--) flashing.
3. Turn the dial until the desired start time hour is reached.
Note: Continue turning the dial to go between am and pm.

time minutes are displayed.

Additional start times are helpful to avoid run off

Example: Bill just planted new grass seed and wants
to water three times per day. He sets START TIME 1
for 5 am, START TIME 2 for 12 pm, and START TIME 3
for 5 pm. He also sets HOW OFTEN to INT (interval)
EVERY 1 DAYS (see section 3, HOW OFTEN). In AUTO
mode the system will water 3 times per day. Once
Bill's sod is established he can CLEAR start times 2
and 3 and return to watering just once per day.
Press PROG ABC to set up start times for additional
programs and repeat the above steps.
