Watering Program Details

This section covers in detail each of the three parts of a
watering program: watering days, program start times
and valve run times.
Selecting Watering Days
The ECx provides four options for scheduling watering
days: Calendar, Interval Odd/Even and Off.
Calendar Schedule
A Calendar schedule enables you to select specific days
of the week to water, for example, Monday, Wednesday
and Friday. This is a seven-day schedule which starts on
Sunday and ends on Saturday.
This illustration shows how
a Calendar schedule would
be displayed when the con-
trol dial is in the
SET WATER
position.
ING DAYS

Interval Schedule
An Interval schedule enables you to set watering days
without regard to the actual days of the week. For exam-
ple, if you want to water every third day, you would
select a 3-day Interval. Interval schedules range from
1-day (watering every day) to 7-day (watering every sev-
enth day). Once you have selected an Interval schedule,
you can choose which day of the week will be the first
8
day of the Interval. The number of days in the Interval

determines the available start days. For example, if you
have selected a 3-day Interval and today is Sunday, you
may choose to start the Interval today, Monday or Tues-
day.

an Interval schedule would

ple, program B has a 3-day
Interval schedule which will
start on Monday.
Odd/Even Schedule
The Odd/Even schedule enables you to select odd or
even numbered days of the month as watering days.

an Odd day schedule would
be displayed.
Program Off
Selecting Off suspends the operation of the program
MO
when it is not needed. Turning the program Off does not
alter or erase the watering schedule information of the
program, it simply places the program on hold until it is
needed.
This illustration shows how a
program would be displayed
if its watering day schedule
is turned Off. In this exam-
ple, program C is Off.
