6. Press the Next button to move to the Soak Time field. If you are using soak cycles for this
zone, the soak time defines the duration of each soaking cycle interspersed with watering
times.
 To change the value in the hours place, press the + button.
 To change the value in the minutes place, press the Next button, and then press the + or
– button.
Note: You cannot change the soak time setting for a linked zone.
7. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the RUN position.
In this example, the settings are shown for a
60-minute water time. Primary zone 1 waters for
20 minutes, and then allows that water to soak in
for 40 minutes. While zone 2 is soaking, other
zones can run. After the 40 minutes soak time, zone
2 will be allowed to run another 20 minutes after
any zone that is currently running finishes.
With these settings, zone 1 completes its 1 hour of
watering in three, 20-minute segments, with at
least a 40 minute soak time between them.
When there are many zones in a program, zones
will be cycled and soaked until all have been completed. Zones that have completed their soak
cycles are prioritized higher that zones that are still waiting to water so the first zones to start
watering will be the first to complete.
To disable soak cycles
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 disable the soak cycles. If the zone is enabled in multiple programs and you want to
disable the soak cycles in a different program, press the + or – button to change the program
number.
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 disable the soak cycles for.
Note: When you disable the soak cycle for a primary zone, soak cycle is disabled for all linked
zones. The controller skips the linked zones when you press the + or – button to select a zone.
4. Press the Next button to move to the Cycle Time field, and then press the Back button to
change the value in the field to 0:00.
5. Press the Next button to move to the Soak Time field, and then press the Back button to
change the value in the field to 0:00.
6. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the RUN position.
