2.0 Getting acquainted with your SmartLine
®
Controller
2.2 Programming
Your SmartLine ® controller has two operating modes:
STANDARD mode or Weathermatic’s patented Auto Adjust mode . The Standard mode uses user assigned zone run times.
The Auto Adjust mode overrides user assigned zone run times and calculates zone run times based on the location of the site, inputs by zone, and weather readings from the SLW weather station. Note: Auto Adjust requires the optional SLW weather station.
Both the Standard mode and Auto Adjust mode use the user program start times, watering days, omit times/days, and several advanced functions (rain delay, zone to zone delay, and master valve settings).
Important Note: Zone run times must be entered for every zone in use for the controller to recognize the zone in either
Standard or Auto Adjust modes.
RAPID ADVANCE : While programming, holding down the ▲ or
▼ arrow button will cause the flashing display value to rapidly advance. Rapid advance can also be used with the NEXT and
BACK buttons to rapidly advance through zones.
MENUS WITHIN MENUS : In cases where there are menus within menus, each press of the BACK button will return to the next higher menu until the top level menu of the dial position is reached.
A VALUE CHANGE will be entered in memory any time you (1) move to a different menu or (2) move the programming dial to a different position.
Using the Programming Buttons
A FLASHING DISPLAY indicates that user choices are available.
The ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons are used to scroll through numeric values or to make a choice of menu options.
NEXT and BACK Buttons : When watering zones are being programmed, the left side of the display will indicate the zone number. The NEXT and BACK buttons are used to scroll through the zones. If the flashing display indicates a menu selection rather than a numeric value, the NEXT button will open the menu for further programming. The BACK button will exit the menu and cause the chosen value to be saved in memory.
