Setting Up a Primary Zone
A primary zone is the zone within a scheduling group that all other linked zones are linked to.
Changing the programming on this zone will adjust the programming on all linked zones, resulting
in saved time and consistency. If you are using a biSensor, the primary zone is the zone where the
sensor is located.
Note: The primary zones of a program always run first.
Prerequisites
• biCoders have been assigned to zones.
• If you are using soil moisture sensors, they have been installed and detected by the
controller.
• You know the number of the zone that waters the area where the sensor is installed.
To assign a primary zone
1. Turn the dial to the Zones position.
2. Verify that the number displayed in the Program field matches the program in which you
want to set up the primary zone. If the zone is enabled in multiple programs and you want to
set up the primary zone in a different program, press the + or – button to change the program
number.
Note: A zone can only be a primary zone in one program.
3. Press the Next button to move to the Zone field, and then press the + or – button to select
the zone that you want to assign as a primary zone.
4. Press the Next button to move to the Zone Mode field.
5. Press the + or – button until Primary displays in the Zone Mode field.
Note: If you change the mode of a zone to
Primary or from Primary to another mode,
you will potentially affect the programming of
other zones. For example, a primary zone has
20 linked zones. If you change the mode of
the primary zone to linked or timed, the links
to the 20 zones will be broken.
6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 for each primary zone with
a biSensor.
7. When you have finished making changes, turn
the dial to the RUN position.
