Selecting Program Start Times A program start time is the time of day you select to begin an automatic program watering cycle. It is important to remember that a program only requires one start time to operate automatically! When a program starts, each zone assigned to the program will water in numerical order, one at a time for its set run time. Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program more than one time per day. For example, when germinating a new lawn. The ECXTRA enables each program to have up to four separate start times per day. Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. These numbers are shown at the top left of the display next to the start time symbol when the control dial is in the START TIME position and indicate how many start times are currently set for the program. This illustration shows how a program start time is displayed. In this example, program A has one start time (start time number 1) set for 3:00 AM. Setting the Zone Run Time A zone run time is the length of time the zone (controlled by the valve) will water during the program watering cycle. The run time for each zone can be set from Off (no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments. A zone is assigned to a program when it is given a run time. If the run time for a zone is turned Off in a program, it will not operate during the program watering cycle. This is how the ECXTRA enables you to assign zones to different programs. Each zone can have a different run time assigned in each program. For example, zone 1 could be set to run for 15 minutes in program A and 10 minutes in program B. All zones assigned to the program are shown on the lower portion of the display when the control dial is in the SET ZONE TIMES position. This illustration shows how zone run time is displayed. In this example, zones 1-6 are assigned to program A. Zone 1 has a 10-minute run time and zone 2 is set to run for 25 minutes. The zone run time being displayed is identified by the flashing zone number. Note the run time symbol is shown to indicate that zone run time is being set. Flashing Flashing 17
