4. Tetapkan Masa Larian: Turn the dial to 'RUN TIME'. For each station you wish to water, use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the watering duration (1-240 minutes). Use the right arrow to advance to the next station. If three dashes appear for a station, it will not water.

Pengaturcaraan Lanjutan

The Easy Dial controller offers advanced programming options for more complex watering needs, such as managing different plant types or areas with varying water requirements.

• Multiple Programs (A & B): The controller has two independent programs (A and B). This allows you to group stations with similar watering needs into separate programs. For example, Program A for lawn and Program B for garden beds.
• Berbilang Masa Mula: Each program can have up to four start times. This feature is useful for allowing water to saturate the ground better, reducing runoff and water waste. For instance, instead of watering for 30 minutes once, you can set three 10-minute start times spread throughout the morning.

Ciri-ciri Tambahan

• Penyiraman Manual: You can manually water specific stations or all stations without affecting your programmed schedule. With the dial in 'AUTO', press the 'MANUAL' button. Use the arrows to select 'ALL' or a specific station, then set the desired watering duration. Press 'CLEAR' to stop manual watering at any time.
• Kelewatan Hujan: This feature allows you to temporarily pause your watering schedule for a set period (24, 48, or 72 hours) without losing your programmed settings. This is useful after heavy rainfall or if your plants are already well-watered. With the dial in 'AUTO', press the 'RAIN DELAY' button and use '+' or '-' to select the delay duration. Press 'CLEAR' to cancel the delay.
• Rain/Freeze Sensors: (Sold Separately) These sensors prevent your timer from watering during rain or freezing conditions, conserving water and protecting your plants and system from damage. Once properly wired and the sensor switch is set to 'ON', the sensor will automatically interrupt watering when sufficient rain has fallen or temperatures drop below freezing.

Penyelenggaraan

• Penggantian Bateri: The controller uses a CR2032 lithium battery to maintain time and programming during power outages. Replace the battery annually or when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
• Semakan Sambungan: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to erratic operation.
• Pembersihan: Wipe the controller's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the display and buttons are free from dust and debris.

Menyelesaikan masalah

• Paparan Kosong: Check the AC power connection. Ensure the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet and securely connected to the controller.
• Zones Not Watering:
  • Ensure the dial is in the 'AUTO' position.
  • Verify that a start time, run time, and watering frequency are set for the program.
  • Check wiring connections to the valves.
  • If a rain sensor is connected, ensure it is dry and the bypass switch is not engaged.
• Incorrect Watering Schedule:
  • Review your 'SET CLOCK' and 'SET DATE' settings for accuracy, including AM/PM.
  • Double-check your 'START TIME' and 'HOW OFTEN' settings to ensure they align with your desired schedule.
