Section 8: Glossary of Terms
Determine a Watering Plan
Your timer has two programs: Program A and Program B. The
dual program capability allows you to assign certain water-
ing stations to Program A and others to Program B. There are
various reasons why you would want to do so. For example,
you might want to assign the stations that water the garden and
flower beds to Program A and those that water the lawn areas
of your yard to Program B. That way, you can set Program A to
water the garden beds every day, and set Program B to water the
lawn every second or third day.
Your timer allows you to set up to six different watering cycle
start times for Program A or Program B. You cannot set a cycle
start time for each station. Stations can be assigned to either
Program A or Program B. Stations assigned to a program will turn
on sequentially according to the cycle start times assigned.
To help you visualize how best to program your timer, it might
be helpful to make a watering plan on paper. This will help you
establish the days, times and durations to water each station.
