FAQ231. Can I use the controller for both drip and sprinkler systems? Yes. Independent durations and multiple watering cycles for each zone allow you to program variouswatering schedules as necessary.2. Can I use my existing wires to my valves?Yes. This controller is compatible with commonly used landscape irrigation systems.3. Can I install the controller outdoors?Installation outdoors is not recommended. 4. How many valves can be controlled by one zone output terminal?Only one valve can be controlled per zone output terminal. Damage to the unit may occur if more than onevalve is connected to a zone terminal. 5. What if my zip code is new or not recognized by the controller?Use a nearby neighboring zip code.6. How do I know what duration to program into the controller?Set your watering durations for the hottest part of the year. If replacing a standard timer, use the durationsfrom the watering program of your previous timer.7. Why do I need more than one cycle or start time per day?If your landscape soil is not easily penetrated by moisture or the landscape is sloped it can be beneficial torun a short watering cycle first to loosen the soil followed by a normal watering cycle.8. Will my controller stop watering when it rains?The controller will not stop watering unless an optional rain sensor is installed. The controller will acceptmost major brands of rain sensors (see page 20).9. What if it's raining and I don't have a rain sensor?The SKIP function can be used to interrupt all programmed watering schedules for up to 99 hours. Whenthe SKIP function ends, the controller will return to the previously set operating mode (ON or OFF).10. Why does my landscape appear to be dry?Your maximum summer watering duration may need to be adjusted if dryness is frequently observed. Ifnecessary, you can supplement your programmed watering during hotter than normal weather by using theWATER NOW feature.11. Do the valves operate when the controller is undocked?No. The controller cannot operate valves when it is undocked. SmrtCntrl_InstlltnPrgrmng_Bklt 3/31/09 4:57 PM Page 23
