I have a computer controlled watering system sold by James
Hardie Irrigation Pty. of Beverly, South Australia. It looks
like a fairly standard unit with a simple microprocessor control.
The setting up instructions were simple but never seemed to set up the system as
I wanted it to operate. A little experimenting and thought about computer
program requirements provided the answer.
There are two modes of operation
There are two Dual Use buttons
Select-a-Day will set the days of the week that you want to water on
or will set the interval between watering days (i.e. select 'Tue' for 3
day intervals)
Set-Today sets the actual day of the week if you are using fixed day
watering
or sets which day this is within the number of the interval days
Example To set watering at 3 day intervals
While pressing 'Select-a-Day', press '+'
until 'ON' is displayed
Press 'TUE' and '+' until 'ON'
is displayed - this sets 3 days
Press all the remaining days and '+' until 'OFF'
is displayed in each
While pressing 'Set-Today' press '+'
repeatedly until this day number
of the interval is displayed - 1 is for day 1 etc. 3 is
for day 3
The day count is checked at midnight when it advances, so even
on the watering day, if it has already watered, the day number is still 3 in
this example.
Follow the instructions for the individual start and run times of the valves.
