3.0 Hello Modes and Automatic Default Program
When the controller is first powered up, the display will show HELLO. In the HELLO mode the
Automatic Default Program (ADP) will run every station every day for 10 minutes. Should you have a power failure and not have a good battery plugged in which would keep the controller’s information and time intact, the ADP program ensures that your landscape will be watered when powered returns.
In the HELLO mode, the ADP will begin the first watering cycle 6 hours after power is reapplied and then continue at 24-hour intervals until the controller is reprogrammed.
Pressing any key will automatically clear the HELLO mode and ADP.
The controller is in the Automatic mode whenever time is displayed and the day of the week indicator is lit.
Pressing QUIT will always return the controller to the Automatic mode.
When a program is watering in the Automatic mode, the program number will be displayed as a convenience.
To stop and cancel a program that is watering.
Press:
CLEAR QUIT
The clock goes back to the Automatic mode.
The controller has a rain switch. The switch must be in the AUTO position any time watering is desired. In the AUTO position, watering will occur if the controller is programmed to do so.
The switch should be placed in the OFF position when no watering is desired, such as when it is raining, etc. In the OFF position, no watering will occur because the switch prevents power from going to the valves.
