Using the Season Adjust Feature

Changes in season and temperature generally require a
change in zone run time to maintain a healthy landscape
and conserve water. The Season Adjust feature enables
you to change the run time of all zones assigned to a pro-
gram, simultaneously up or down, in 10% increments –
with just the press of a button. Adjustments can be
reduced to 10% or increased to 200% of the programmed
run time of each zone.
A 50% setting, for example, would decrease a 20-minute
zone run time to 10 minutes. Increases however, work a
little differently. With any adjustment above 100%, the
ECXTRA will first increase the run time by the adjust-
ment percentage, then split the time in half and run the
watering program twice. This allows the water to soak in
instead of pooling or running off. For example, adjusting
to 150% would first increase a 20-minute zone run time
to 30 minutes, then split the time in half and run two
watering cycles back-to-back with 15 minutes in each
operation. During operation the % symbol will flash to
indicate a multiple watering operation.
Note: All zone run times are retained in the timer memory
and returned to their set value when the season adjust is
reset to 100%. The only time a zone run time will appear
changed is during operation.
