GETTING STARTED
The unique modular design of the Custom Command enables you to easily
remove the control module from the cabinet and take it anywhere for
handy programming– even to your favorite easy chair! Just swing the
module out, unplug the cables, then lift the module from its hinges. Now,
by installing a 9-volt alkaline battery you can program and review your
watering schedules and have it ready to operate upon completion of the
installation. (See battery installation instructions on page 4.)
Note: To extend battery life, the display will automatically dim after two
minutes of inactivity. To restore the display, simply turn the function dial
to any position.
WHAT IS A WATERING PROGRAM?
In basic terms, a watering program is a small set of instructions which tells
the controller when to start a watering cycle, which stations will operate
during the cycle, which days the cycle will be active and how long each
station will operate during the cycle. The Custom Command has four
independent watering programs for your use. Separate programs are usually
used to group stations with similar watering requirements. For example,
you might use one program to water lawns in full sun every day. Another
program could be used to water lawns in partial shade only on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. Trees and shrubs using drip irrigation could run on
a separate program once every two weeks. The garden area requirements
might include watering every other day. As you can see, the availability of
four programs allows you to have unique watering programs for your varied
landscape needs.
