Eco-Logic - Programming the Controller

Programming your Eco-Logic controller correctly will keep your lawn looking its best. Setting the correct date and time is the first step to programming. Once you set your program start times, it's very easy to eliminate a program start time. Configuring days to water allows you the flexibility for selecting odd or even days or intervals from 1-31 days. Continue reading for instructions on programming your Eco-Logic irrigation controller.

An irrigation program consists of three parameters:

1) A program Start Time. Only one Start Time in required to start program. Additional Start Times will repeat the program.

2) Watering duration for each station.

3) Days to water. A program will run all stations assigned to it in sequential order. Programs are independent and stations can be assigned to both programs.
