5 –Programming the Controller
After you have configured your devices as described in the previous section, you are ready to start
the initial programming on your BaseStation 1000 controller. Review the information in this section
to learn how to set up time-based watering for your zones, how to enable the soak cycles, and set
up your programs. If you are using a soil moisture sensor, be sure to read the information about
setting up soil moisture sensor based watering including the information about the watering
strategies.
Restarting the Controller
If the controller goes into an abnormal state and does not respond, you might need to restart it.
Typically, we recommend that you call Baseline Support (866.294.5847) before you restart the
controller.

connected to BaseManager, the time will be automatically set by the server.
WARNING! Changing the date and time can cause watering events to be missed.
