BaseStation 1000 Irrigation Controller Manual
7 – Manual Operations
The BaseStation 1000 has several options that enable you to manually control your irrigation
system. You can start a program, stop a program that is actively watering, or run a master valve.
You can also manually water a single zone, all zones, or the zones of a program. The Manual Run
options are useful for doing a walk-around test of multiple valves, or for applying additional water
for a short period of time to a specific zone.
Manually Starting or Stopping a Zone
Use the Manual Start/Stop Zone option when you want to quickly start an individual zone or stop a
zone that you started with this option. You can set the manual runtime between 1 second and 18
hours.
Note: You cannot use this option to stop a zone that is running in a program. Use the Start/Stop
Program option to stop a currently running program.
