The ECXTRA timer has three modes of operation: Auto-
matic, Manual and Off. In the Automatic mode the timer
tracks the time and day and operates the automatic
watering schedules. The Manual mode enables the
zones and watering programs to be started and con-
trolled manually at any time. The Off mode shuts off all
watering activity and prevents any zones from operating
automatically or manually.
The Rain Delay and Season Adjust control features are
provided to enable quick, temporary changes in operation
to help compensate for variables in weather and season.
Each of the operating modes and control features are
explained in this section of the guide and can be found
on the following pages:

Automatic Operation
In the Automatic mode, the ECXTRA keeps track of the
current time, day of the week and the automatic watering
program schedule. Automatic operation will occur when-
ever a programmed watering day and start time match
the current time and day.
The Automatic mode is selected when the control dial is
in the run position. While in the automatic mode, the
display will show two types of information: Status and
Operating.
This example shows the Status
display. The current time is
2:45 pm and the current day is
Monday. Programs A and B are
scheduled to operate today.
When watering starts, the Operating display appears and
is shown with the Watering On symbol. In this example,
program A is operating. Zone 1 has 10 minutes of run
time remaining. Zones 2 and 3
will also run during this water-
ing cycle. This program also
has a season adjust factor, so
the Percent symbol will also
be displayed.
Note: If the control dial remains in any other position
(except off) for more than 8 minutes, the timer will revert
to the Automatic mode.
Note: The position of the programs switch does not
determine which program will run during automatic timer
operation. In other words, if a program has an assigned
watering day schedule, start time and an assigned zone
with run time, it will operate automatically regardless of
the programs switch position.
