Selecting Optional Features

24-Hour Clock Mode

The ECx is set to display
time in the 12-hour clock
mode. If you prefer to use
a 24-hour clock mode
(military time), select this
option by removing the
12/24 Hour Selector
Jumper (4). To store the
jumper, install it on one pin
as shown. See Figure 3.

15-Second Run Delay

The 15-second run delay feature is useful for sprinkler
systems utilizing a pump or master valve. For example,
a pump usually requires a few seconds to build pressure
after first starting. With the 15-second run delay selected,
the pump would be running (or the master valve would
open) 15 seconds before the first zone begins watering.
A 15-second delay would also occur between zone oper-
ations. This helps ensure that one valve is closed before
another valve opens.
Note: A 2-second run delay will occur if this option is not
selected.
To select the 15-second delay option, remove the Delay
Selector Jumper (5).

Odd/Even Watering Days

If you plan to use an Odd or Even day watering schedule,
14
remove the Odd/Even Selector Jumper (6) for this option.

About the ECx Memory

The ECx has a permanent watering schedule within its
memory to assist you in two ways. First, it will restore
watering operation in case your watering program is lost
due to a power interruption lasting longer than the bat-
tery life. This prevents your landscape from going unwa-
tered if the power outage occurs while you are away.
Secondly, if you do not want to program your ECx,
you may use the permanent watering schedule to
operate your sprinklers. Just set the current time
and day and your ECx will be ready to operate auto-
matically.
The permanent watering schedule operates as follows:
When power is applied, the timer clock is set to 12:00
Sunday. Program A has a Calendar watering schedule
set to water every day. One program start time is set for
5:00 and a run time of 10 minutes is set for each
AM
zone. Programs B and C are turned Off and have no
program start times or run times.
Note: An optional feature is provided which enables the
The ECx memory to be reset to the permanent program
or cleared completely if you choose. If you do not want to
use this option, skip the next procedure "Resetting The
Timer Memory" and continue at page 16 to begin pro-
gramming.
