Toro TDC-100/200 - Manual (Page 11)

The TDC-100/200 features 10 fully-independent resident programs. With two types of programs to select from,
you can further custom fit your irrigation programs to any landscape.
• Standard Irrigation Program will activate a station or group of stations with six start times on a daily basis. Each
station will water for the duration specified in hours, minutes and seconds. Percent adjust and maximum number of
simultaneous activate stations per program can be specified in this program.
• Grow-In Irrigation Program will activate a station or group of stations for the length of their runtime. The program
will repeat the cycle after the specified delay time expires and will repeat continuously between the set Start and
End times. Percent adjust and the simultaneous activate stations can be specified in this program.
To utilize these programs automatically or manually, each program must be configured.
