Selecting Program Start Times
A program start time is the time of day you select to
begin an automatic program watering cycle.
It is important to remember that a program only
requires one start time to operate automatically.
When a program starts, each zone assigned to a pro-
gram will water in numerical order, one at a time for its
set run time.
Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program
more than one time per day. For example, when growing
a new lawn. The ECx enables each program to have up
to four separate start times per day.
Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. These
numbers are shown at the top left of the display next to
the start time symbol

many start times are currently set for the program.
This illustration shows how

Setting The Zone Run Time
A zone run time is the length of time the zone (controlled
by the valve) will water during the program watering
cycle. The run time for each zone can be set from Off
(no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments.
A zone is assigned to a program when it is given a run
time. If the run time for a zone is turned Off in a program,
it will not operate during the program watering cycle.
This is how the ECx enables you to assign watering
zones to different programs.
All zones assigned to the program are shown on the
lower portion of the display when the control dial is in
the
SET ZONE RUN TIMES

for a program. In this exam-
ple, zones 1–6 are assigned

minutes.
The zone run time being
displayed is identified by the
flashing zone number.
