Setting Up Zone Runtimes for a Program
A runtime is the total amount of time that the zone is scheduled to water. The runtime may or may
not occur all at once depending on whether you have soak cycles set up. You associate a zone with
a program by giving the zone a runtime in that program.
In the BaseStation 1000, you group zones by setting up runtimes for the related zones in a single
program. Then make sure that those zones do not have runtimes in any other programs.
1. Press the Program Setup button. The Program Setup menu displays.
2. If the program that you want to modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen,
continue to step 3. Otherwise, press the PRG button until the program that you want to
modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Note: To move backwards in the list of programs, press and hold the PRG button, and then
press the – button repeatedly.
3. The Zone Runtimes option should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press the  or 
button to highlight it, and then press the OK button. The Zone Runtimes screen displays.
Zones are identified with a sequential number and by the serial number of the attached
biCoder.
4. Notice that the minutes placeholder in the
Zone 1 field is highlighted.
 To move to the hour placeholder, press
the  button.
 To move to the seconds placeholder,
press the  button.
 To change the time, press the + or –
button.
Note: To rapidly increase or decrease the value, press and hold the + button or the –
button.
 To move to a different zone, press the  or  button.
5. When you have finished setting up all the zone runtimes for one program, do one of the
following:
 To set up zone runtimes for another program, press the PRG button until the program
that you want to modify displays in the upper-left corner of the screen.
 To continue setting up other components of the program, press the BACK button to
return to the Program Setup menu, where you can select the next item that you want to
set up.
 To exit Program Setup, press the RUN button.
