Water Conservation Feature – By simply choosing the Minimum (Min), Medium (Med) or
Maximum (Max) conservation level that corresponds to your landscape’s soil type and the sensor
location, a dry-out period, adjusted for actual rainfall duration, is
inserted after the sensor system resets to delay the resumption of
automatic watering.
Each conservation level represents a baseline value that is
automatically adjusted to compensate for rainfall duration.
Min (display number 1) – sets baseline at no days of delay.
Med (display number 2) – sets baseline at one day of delay.
Max (display number 3) – sets baseline at two days of delay.
To assist in choosing which conservation setting to use, review
the chart in Figure 18. First select the landscape soil type. Now,
drop down to the row that best describes the sun/shade coverage
of the sensor location. The level indicated where the two conditions meet is
the suggested starting point. That’s all there is to it!
1. Press the Setup button to display the Water Conservation icon.
The display will indicate the current water conservation level setting
and the corresponding level indicator will be illuminated. The Setup
icon will begin flashing to indicate the selected feature can be adjusted.
See Figure 19.
2. Press the Adjust button to select level 1, 2 or 3.
