the pond or cistern is less than
the number in the Moisture

Refer to Setting a Stop Condition
for a Program on page 52.
Use this option to START the
program when the water level in

9. If you want the moisture start condition to run only on specific days and times, press the 
button to highlight Only on Day & Time, and then press the OK button to display a checkmark
next to the option. Press the  button to configure the start days and start times. Refer to
the procedure for Setting the Day and Time Start Condition on page 40.
Note: When you use this setting to associate the day and time start with the soil moisture
start condition, the program starts when both the day/time and the moisture condition has
been met. When you have an additional start condition set, such as Interval or Smart Interval,
these settings will control the next start time. Be aware that watering can be delayed by these
additional start conditions.
10. Press the  button to highlight the Calibration field. This field only displays when you select
the Less Than Limit.

the screen. To start the calibration, highlight the Start? option, and then press the OK
button.
 If the calibration has been enabled, the Stop? option displays on the right side of the
screen. To stop the calibration, highlight the Stop? option, and then press the OK
button.
Note: When you enable calibration, the process either starts immediately or at the next day
and time start. The program puts down 150% of the required water and then waits for 24
hours. The calibration reading is taken when the soil moisture is at field capacity. After the
calibration cycle runs one time, it is disabled in the controller.
