Irrigation Programming

This section contains examples of weekly and cyclical irrigation programs. Simply alter data in the examples to adapt the program to meet your irrigation requirements.
Programming Method
The Computerized Irrigation Controller is programmed with the aid of 4 buttons:
Programming step – used to select the appropriate programming mode (e. g. clock setting mode).
Parameter selection – used to select the parameter to be changed (e. g. hour, minute, etc). To implement the change, the selected parameter must be blinking.
Data increment (increase) – raises the value of the selected parameter (e. g. adds on an hour).
Data decrement (decrease) – lowers the value of the selected parameter (e. g. deducts an hour).

• If no changes are implemented, the controller display will always revert to the main screen (clock).

• Emergency Irrigation: If no buttons are pressed, the clock will blink continuously. After 10 minutes, the controller will implement 5- minute irrigation on a 24- hour cycle.
  

3.2 Setting Current Time & Day of the Week
To enable the irrigation controller to operate the irrigation system at the required times, the current time and day of the week must be set as shown below:

3. Press . START will appear on the display. Presse . The hour digits will blink.

4. Press or until the word OFF appears on the display. The fourth irrigation start is canceled.

3.4 Setting a Cyclical Irrigation Program
Let’s assume that we want to program the irrigation controller to open the valve at 10: 45 a. m., for a period of 1.5 hours, once every three days, starting on Tuesday.
Before setting a cyclical irrigation program you must clear irrigation days until the word OFF appears.

Setting Irrigation Duration:

5. Press once. The marker under Monday will blink.
6. Press once. The blinking marker will indicate Tuesday.

Note: in a cyclical program, the irrigation days are liable to vary from week to week because of cycle length. If you wish to change the irrigation program to a weekly program you must set the cycle on OFF mode.

3.5 Computerized Manual Operation
This option operates the valve for the defined irrigation period. The valve will close automatically at the end of the irrigation period. Note that the originally programmed irrigation schedule will continue to function at the set times. This setting cannot be implemented when the display is blinking.
Operation: Pressw will appear next to the word `Manual’, and will appear underneath it. The days of the week and the irrigation duration set in the program will appear on the display. A reverse ‘countdown’ of the irrigation duration will appear on the display while the program is implemented.( This display will appear also during automatic irrigation).
Canceling Operation: Press Oagain. The tap and  hand symbols will disappear from the display.

• If the irrigation duration is set at zero (0: 00), irrigation will not occur.
• Manual irrigation cannot be performed when the controller is set for programming (the display is blinking).

3. 6 Irrigation Controller Suspension
This option is used to temporarily suspend irrigation controller operation, for example, while it is raining. The irrigation operation schedule remains in the controller memory but is not implemented until the suspension is canceled.

Suspension: Press for 3 consecutive seconds until the symbol appears.
Cancel Suspension: Press; for 3 consecutive seconds to return irrigation system control to the irrigation controller. The symbol will disappear.

Additional Displays

4. 1 Blinking Low Battery Warning
A blinking battery icon ( ) appears on the display when the batteries are weak. At this point, the battery still contains a limited amount of energy for valve operation. The battery should be replaced promptly. If the battery is not replaced, the irrigation controller will continue to open the valve 8 times according to the program. It will then suspend the program and OFF will appear on the screen. Program data will be retained for 30 seconds during battery changing.
4. 2 Programming Error
In the cyclical program (see section 3. 4) if the irrigation duration programmed is equal to or longer than the irrigation cycle, the word Err will appear. To cancel the error, press to increase the irrigation cycle.

Manual Mechanical Operation

The irrigation can be opened and closed independent of controller operation. Manual operation is useful when irrigation required immediately but there is inadequate time and/ or knowledge for programming or the battery is unavailable. The manual operating handle is located in the back, lower section of the skirt.
The mechanical opening lever is black. The lever has 3 positions:

1. AUTO – mid position
2. CLOSE – rotating clockwise, in any position
3. OPEN – rotating counterclockwise
   In normal working conditions, the lever should be in the middle, position AUTO.

• If it is necessary to replace the solenoid, do not disassemble the blue ring underneath

Maintenance

• Remove batteries if the irrigation controller will not be used for a prolonged period.
• Installation of a filter upstream to the irrigation controller valve is essential. Clean the filter once every few months. Operating the controller without a filter is liable to cause malfunctions in the system.
• Under normal usage, the battery (alkaline) should last for at least one year.
• Recommended water pressure: 1 — 8 ATM (bar). If a pressure regulator is required, it should be installed upstream to the irrigation controller.

SENSOR CONNECTION

The controller is compatible with dry contact preventing sensor. Preventing sensors are ones that prevent the operation of the system when the relevant conditions come to exist. For example, if the controller is connected to a rain sensor, irrigation will operate as long as the sensor is dry. When it starts raining the sensor will immediately stop the irrigation from working and the sensor light will show.

SENSOR INSTALLATION

Different types of sensors can be installed: Rain sensor, Temperature sensor etc. The sensor type must be N.C. (Normally closed).

To install:

1. Cut the yellow wire in the middle (do not strip the wires).
2. Join each yellow wire end to the sensor wire with the waterproof connector.
