Timer Operation
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, page 30
• Manual Operation, page 31
• Watering Control Features, page 32
• Using the Rain Delay Feature, page 33
• Using the Season Adjust Feature, page 34

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
30
the current time and day.
The Automatic mode is selected when the control dial is
in the
position. While in the automatic mode, the
RUN
display will show two types of information: Status and
Operating.
This example shows the
Status display. The current
time is 2:45
and the current
PM
day is Monday. Programs A
and B are scheduled to oper-
ate today.
When watering starts, the Operating display appears and
is shown with the Watering On symbol . In this exam-
ple, 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 be also displayed.
Note: If the control dial remains in any other position
(except
) for more than 8 minutes, the timer reverts to
OFF
the Automatic mode.
Note: The position of the
determine which program will run during automatic timer
operation. In other words, if a program has an assigned
watering day schedule, start time and a zone with run
time, it will operate automatically regardless of the posi-
tion of the
switch.
