Manual operation allows irrigation to start immediately for individual stations. You can specify the number of minutes you would like to manually run stations for. Only one manual station can be on at a time.
Manual Operation for Specific Stations
Manual operation can be set for specific stations to operate with the same or varying run times.
1. Turn the MAIN knob to manual.
2. Turn the LOWER KNOB to select By Station.
3. Turn the UPPER KNOB to select the station you want to manually water.
4. Turn the LOWER KNOB to select the number of minutes you would like to manually water for. Irrigation will begin immediately.
5. If you need to stop irrigation during a manual run for any reason, turn the LOWER KNOB to set the minutes back to 0.
6. Repeat steps 3-4 to enable other desired stations to run manually. The controller will operate selected stations in the order in which they were programmed.
Manual Operation for All Stations
Manual operation can be set for all stations to operate with the same run times. Irrigation will start immediately on Station 1. The display will change to reflect the current irrigating station.
1. Turn the MAIN knob to manual.
2. Turn the LOWER KNOB to select All Stations.
3. Turn the UPPER KNOB to select the station you want to manually water.
4. Turn the LOWER KNOB to select the number of minutes you would like to manually water for. Irrigation will begin immediately. The controller will immediately begin to irrigate stations 01 through the Max Active Stations for the selected runtime in numerical order.
5. If you need to stop irrigation during a manual run for any reason, turn the LOWER KNOB to set the minutes back to 0.
Manual Log
WeatherTRAK controllers maintain a log of station runtimes when manually irrigating. To view a manual log:
1. Turn the MAIN knob to manual.
2. Turn the LOWER KNOB until the Manual Log screen displays.
3. Turn the UPPER KNOB. If manual irrigation has occurred, the station number, program and runtime will be displayed for the last time manual irrigation occurred.
4. To navigate to subsequent stations, turn the LOWER KNOB.
5. If no stations have been operated manually, the controller will display “Manual Log is empty.”
