Setting Up Start, Stop, and Pause Conditions
The BaseStation 3200 enables you to set up conditions based on the status of devices that will
start, stop, or pause the entire controller or specific programs. You can use the following devices to
monitor these conditions:
Event Switch – Set up a switch, such as a coach’s button, to start, stop, or pause watering
Soil Moisture Sensor – Set up a soil moisture sensor to start, stop, or pause watering based on a
specific reading
Air Temperature Sensor – Set up an air temperature sensor to start, stop, or pause watering based
on a specific reading
To set up start, stop, pause conditions for event switches
