Setting the Soak Times

It is only necessary to set a SOAK time if the accumulated CYCLE times on any single program will not provide an adequate soak time. For instance, if the sum of the cycle times for all stations in a program exceeds 10 minutes and each station will require no more than 20 minutes of soak time, then the accumulated cycle times are sufficient and no soak time will need to be programmed. However, if the necessary soak time did exceed the 10 minutes, then a soak time must be entered for those stations requiring a longer soak between waterings. The soak time default is 10 minutes.

Pressing the button at any time while in the cycle time setup will allow the user to enter the soak time setup for that station. Pressing again will go back to the cycle time setup. The soak time works identically to the cycle time setup except that the SOAK icon will be on as opposed to the CYCLE icon.

NOTE: If the dial is moved from the SET STATION RUN TIMES position, then the entire sequence of going back to RUN and holding the key down must be repeated to reenter the cycle and soak setup. The cycle and soak feature is a station dependent function and will be used whenever the station operates regardless of which program or programs the station is assigned.
