Initially Station 1 will be displayed. To access other stations, press the ► or ◄ button.
Once the desired station is displayed, use the + or – button to increase or decrease the Cycle time. The user can set the time from 1 minute to 4 hours in 1 minute increments or to OFF if no Cycle is desired.
NOTE: Before 1 hour only minutes are displayed (e.g. 36). At 1 hour or above, the display will change to include the hour digit (e.g. 1:13 and 4:00).
NOTE: If a Stations Runtime is less than or equal to the Cycle time then no Cycle will be applied.
Once the desired Cycle times for each station has been programed the cycle time can be accessed by pressing the PRG button.
The station will remain the same as was previously displayed under the Cycle time (i.e. if station 2 is displayed in the Cycle menu then Station 2 will be displayed upon pressing the PRG button)
NOTE: The Soak menu cannot be accessed without a programmed Cycle time.

When changing the stations, if a station without a Cycle time is encountered the screen will revert back to the Cycle time. Move to the next station with a Cycle Time and press the PRG button to return.
Once the desired station is displayed, the user can use the + or – button to increase or decrease the Soak time. The user can set the Soak time from 1 minute to 4 hours in 1 minute increments.
Before 1 hour only minutes are displayed (e.g. 36). At 1 hour or above, the display will change to include the hour digit (e.g. 1:13 and 4:00).
Station 1 requires 20 minutes of watering, but after 5 minutes, runoff occurs. However, after 10 minutes all the water is absorbed. The solution would be to program 20 minutes for the station run time, 5 minutes for the Cycle time, and 10 minutes for the Soak time.
