Setting up Scheduling Groups

Scheduling groups are made up of a primary zone and multiple linked zones within one hydrozone. After you have scheduling

groups configured, you can easily make changes to large groups of zones.

Creating Scheduling Groups

1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Remote Base Unit where you want to create the scheduling

groups.

2. Click the Config Zone

(1)

tab.

3. Find the line that corresponds to the zone that you want

to establish as a primary zone.

4. Click the arrow in the field

(2)

under the Device Mode

column, and then click either Auto or Timed. Remember

that Auto requires that a biSensor be connected while

Timed enables the zone to run based on its timed

scheduling only.

5. Find the lines for the zones that you want to link to the

primary zone. On each line, click the arrow in the field

(3)

under the Device Mode column, and then click Linked.

The Select Primary Zone – Auto or Timed dialog box opens.

6. Click the arrow in the Select Zone

(4)

field, and then click

the primary zone.
Note: The primary zone must be at an address with a

lower number than the linked zones.

7. Click the arrow in the Tracking Ratio

(5)

field, and then click the option that will

enable the linked zone to water correctly. You can choose an option that is more

or less than the primary zone.

8. Click OK

primary zone.

• You can also adjust how a scheduling group runs by changing the Sprinkler Settings and Soak Cycle Adjust fields for the

primary zone on the Adjust Zone tab. For more information on setting up your needed scheduling and watering patterns,

• If you notice that a zone within a scheduling group is being over or under watered, you can adjust how that zone runs based
