NOTE: In the Start Times dial position, the numbers 1-4 do not represent stations. The numbers represent the program start times. Each program can start up to 4 times on the set days to water. One start time will activate all stations sequentially in that program. If you want the stations to operate one time in sequential order and then not repeat, set start times 2, 3, and 4 to OFF. Multiple start times in a program can be used for separate morning, afternoon, or evening watering cycles. Start times may be entered in any order. The X-Core will automatically sort them.
Turn the dial to the START TIMES position.
The factory preset is set on program A. If necessary, you can select program b, or C by pressing the PRG button.
Use the plus (+) or minus (-) button to change the start time. (The start times advance in 15 minute increments).
Press the arrow (>) button to add an additional start time, or PRG button for the next program.
Example: Program A has four stations (1-4) assigned to it and the program has one start time at 5:30 AM. At 5:30 AM, station 1 will water, followed by station 2, then station 3, and so on until all four stations have watered. Start times should appear as you see in the chart below:
| Start Times | PROGRAM A | PROGRAM B | PROGRAM C |
| 1 | 5:30 AM | OFF | OFF |
| 2 | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| 3 | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| 4 | OFF | OFF | OFF |
Individual stations are assigned to a program (A,B,C). Each program requires only one start time to initiate a watering sequence of all the stations assigned to that program. Start times are assigned to programs, not stations. The controller will operate the stations in numerical order. When a station has completed its watering time, the controller will switch to the next station in that program automatically.
Eliminating a Program Start Time
With the dial set to START TIMES position, push the plus (+) or minus (-) button until you reach 12:00 AM (Midnight). From here push the minus (-) button once to reach the OFF position.
The OFF position is between 11:45 PM and 12:00 AM.
